Program Outcomes

STUDENT OUTCOMES

Graduates of the Program will be able to:

  • ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities;
  • ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge;
  • ability to conduct standard tests and measurements and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments;
  • ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team;
  • ability to analyze, solve and design solutions for well-defined problems;
  • ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
  • understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development;
  • understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity;
  • commitment to quality, timeliness and continuous improvement; and
  • apply specific program principles to the specification, installation, fabrication, test, operation, maintenance, sales or documentation of basic mechanical systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can students who major in Mechanical Engineering Technology transfer to a four-year college or university?

Students may choose to participate in the Joint Admissions Program with the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Articulation agreements with public and private institutions offer students who earn the A.A.S. degree the opportunity to transfer all of their coursework to the four-year institution. Students in specialized programs, or who earn an A.A.S. degree should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.

Are there any requirements that must be satisfied before taking courses in the major?

Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra I competency may be verified with a passing score on the College’s placement test or completion of the appropriate course. Students must also have a grade of “C” or better in high school algebra II and geometry.

How long will it take to complete this degree?

Once students complete developmental coursework (if needed), the degree can be completed in two years of full-time study. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.

Transfer Information

Our students transfer to 4-year colleges and universities around the globe. We’ve had students transfer to every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.

The Statewide Transfer Agreement for New Jersey ensures that students who earn an A.A. or A.S. degree at a community college will have those credits fully transferable to a New Jersey public four-year institution, will have completed half of the credits required for a basic four-year degree and will have completed all lower division general education requirements. In addition, articulation agreements are being worked out with institutions granting baccalaureate degrees to facilitate the transfer process. Students should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
