The mission of the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology at New York City College of Technology is to educate students for careers in the fields of Mechanical /Manufacturing/HVAC Engineering Technology and Industrial/Product Design. We balance practical knowledge with theory, emphasizing hands-on applications of the latest technology. The department provides education to both traditional and non-traditional students of diverse backgrounds for successful entry into the industry. Through excellence in teaching and community service, the department promotes opportunities for scholarly, personal, and professional growth. Graduates will be prepared to support the diverse needs of industry in the metropolitan New York area. In the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program, our focus is on the following areas: materials testing, manufacturing, computer aided drafting/design, machine/mechanical design/analysis, HVAC and Thermal Engineering, quality assurance, and in specifying, installing, testing, or maintaining mechanical systems. We provide the fundamental concepts and technical skills required for students to create a wide range of career paths in the manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology profession.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology provides a well-rounded, career-oriented education using cutting edge technology in order to prepare students for immediate employment. The department currently offers three programs. AAS in Mechanical Engineering; BTech in Mechanical Engineering and AAS in Industrial Design.

The department utilizes a variety of state-of-the-art CAD/CAM/CAE and HVAC engineering software packages in its core curricula:

• Autodesk AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge in our CAD programs.
• MasterCAM, Matlab, and LabVIEW in our CAM and CAE programs.
• Robot simulation and Offline Programming (OLP) software from RoboDK for industrial robots in our courses in Industrial Design, Manufacturing, and Robotic Concentrations.
• Elite CHVAC, Elite Fire and Comcheck Software in our HVAC Program.

Our programs are designed for people who like to learn through the experience of doing. Most of our classes include laboratories where experiments are performed. The latest computer innovations in mechanical engineering and computer-aided design are presented in the program.
