The Division of Engineering Programs at SUNY New Paltz is committed to academic excellence. We offer high-quality Bachelor of Science degree programs in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, all of which are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,
. A minor in Engineering is also available, as is an accelerated program through which students may earn a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering and a master's degree in Electrical Engineering in five years. For more information about the accelerated BS/MS programs, please refer to the
Graduate Catalog
Our mission, program educational objectives and student outcomes aim towards the success of our students so that, when they  graduate, they are able to obtain successful engineering jobs and/or graduate degrees from prestigious universities.
Mission
The Division's mission closely follows that of our institution and is stated as:
Offering high-quality undergraduate programs in Computer, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and a master’s program in Electrical Engineering to a diverse student body;
Providing engineering education and technical support to the campus community, regional industry and the community-at-large;
Admitting students who show promise of succeeding in the challenging field of engineering;
Having our students gain technical knowledge, social skills and confidence to contribute as productive and responsible members of the engineering profession and the society.
Program Educational Objectives
Program Educational Objectives describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve in three to five years. The educational objectives of all Engineering programs are to produce graduates who:
Become proficient contributors to the engineering profession using technical and communication skills.
Work beyond their primary responsibilities by providing service through active engagement in global society.
The emphasis of our education is on developing skills through project-based courses. Most upper-division courses include a design project. The design experience culminates in a two-semester Senior Design Project performed by student teams, under faculty supervision. All projects, as well as laboratory experiments and undergraduate research, are done in state-of-the-art laboratories.
SUNY New Paltz's engineering programs are designed to meet the needs of a rapidly changing technological society. Each program includes a broad General Education experience, foundation coursework to ensure fundamental knowledge of mathematics and natural science, a core curriculum through which students develop and refine discipline-specific knowledge and skills, and elective courses that provide opportunities for applying knowledge and using the tools and techniques of modern engineering practice. Our students benefit from quality facilities, small classes and labs, close interaction with faculty with real-world experience, and opportunities for research and internships with industry partners. Students acquire the cultural, social, and communication skills that only a liberal arts college can provide and graduate fully prepared for the engineering profession of today and tomorrow.
Departmental Academic Policies

Engineering Program Learning Outcomes
Computer Engineering (BS), Electrical Engineering (BS), Mechanical Engineering (BS)
Student outcomes represent the desired knowledge and skills that Computer, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering students must have acquired by the time of graduation. All of our undergraduate engineering programs have adopted ABET Criterion 3 as guiding student outcomes, as specified below.
By the time of graduation, Engineering students must have demonstrated an ability to:
identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors;
communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

EGM332. Fluid Mechanics. 3 Credits.
Analysis of steady ideal and viscous fluid flow systems using the continuity, Bernoulli and momentum equations. Boundary layer theory is treated in terms of viscous and pressure drag, lift, and its importance in heat and mass transfer. Dimensional analysis and dynamic similitude are studied to provide an understanding of flow systems analysis and modeling. Introduction to pipe flow and open channel flow.
