HEGIS:     5609

SUNY CODE:     0530

 This curriculum provides a sound academic core preparing the student to transfer into Baccalaureate Engineering programs. Transfer opportunities within the SUNY system include mechanical, biomedical, industrial, chemical, civil and environmental engineering. 

Admission Standards: 

To be considered for admission into the Engineering Science program, high school graduates must have a cumulative average of “80” or higher and a grade of “80” in Regents Physics and a grade of “85” in Precalculus. Transfer students must have a GPA of 3.0 with a “B” or better in college Precalculus and a “C” or higher in Physics.

The goals of this program are to:

  • Provide students with the mathematical and scientific educational experiences and methods engineers use to solve technical problems
  • Provide students with the methodology and critical thinking skills to analyze systems using mathematical and scientific concepts for engineering applications

Successful graduates of this program will be have:

  • A comprehensive knowledge base of Engineering Science
  • The ability to discuss and evaluate current issues in Engineering Science

Career Opportunities/Transfer Information

We have articulation agreements with SUNY Binghamton and SUNY Canton. Taking these courses does not ensure that all first two-year requirements have been met; nor will it guarantee acceptance in all programs at all institutions. The following engineering discipline course requirements are based on the Engineering SUNY Pathways. It is important that the student contact the four-year institution for the specific matriculated degree requirements for that institution. For additional information, please contact the Transfer Office.
