Welcome to the Engineering Department at SUNY Maritime College!

The Engineering Department accommodates the largest group of students at the College and serves to oversee all engine licensing programs. We offer five Bachelor of Engineering degrees, one Bachelor of Science, and one Associate of Applied Science.

Bachelor of Engineering

• Electrical Engineering (deck license, engine license or internship option)
• Facilities Engineering (engine license or internship option)
• Mechanical Engineering (engine license or internship option)
• Marine Engineering (engine license only)
• Naval Architecture (deck license, engine license or internship option)

All Bachelor of Engineering degrees are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET. https://www.abet.org.

Bachelor of Science

• Marine Operations (engine license only)

Associate of Applied Science

• Maritime Technology (limited engine license only)

In 2008, Maritime College celebrated its centennial of Marine Engineering. This history began with the arrival of the USS Newport, a steam auxiliary built at Bath Iron Works, which became the College’s second training ship in 1908.

After more than a century, the mission remains unchanged: We provide students with a strong analytical basis in engineering science, reinforced with major courses, and always connected to a hands-on, practical experience. The mission of the School of Engineering requires that every engineering student combine their academic studies with a practical, hands-on experience, applying the knowledge gained in the classroom and the laboratory. These experiences may come in the form of a very structured and demanding Summer Sea Term, or as an equally demanding Industrial Internship. These are a crucial component in a Maritime College engineering education.
