Welcome from the chair:
Welcome to the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology and Industrial Design Technology (MECH Department) at New York City College of Technology (City Tech). I am very pleased that you are interested in our programs.
Mechanical engineering is a field of manufacturing, mechanical systems, materials science for making machinery, cars, robots, ships, airplanes, drones, and other manufacturing products. It is based on technical hands-on and computer skills integrated with principles of engineering physics and mathematics. Industrial design is an area of product development through the design techniques used in the manufacturing process for mass production.
City Tech’s MECH department offers three programs in Mech and Design: the Associate Degree in Industrial Design Technology (AAS in IND), the Associate Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, (AAS in MET), and the Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology (BTech in MET). The Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) programs are accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ETAC/ABET).
Through the programs, you will learn manufacturing processes, mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials testing, the strength of materials, as well as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), operation of CNC machinery & industrial equipment, 3D solid modeling, 3D printing, programming, etc. If you would like to pursue a career as a mechanical engineer/technologist or industrial designer, the programs are perfect for you.
Please talk to faculty, staff, and current students in the Department. They will be enthusiastic about talking to you and happy to give you more information about the MECH Department community, campus life, and future career paths.
We are looking forward to seeing you on campus or online.
Sincerely,
Dr. Masato R. Nakamura, Chair
Department mission statement:
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 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, 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 offers two programs.
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.
