^{Concentration Option: Energy Engineering}

^{The Concentration in Energy Engineering is aimed at educating mechanical engineering students in the analysis and design of energy systems with a goal of reducing energy consumption and using renewable and alternative energy systems. Further, the concentration provides students with skills and knowledge applicable for careers in Energy Engineering, an important specialization in the greater New York region.}

^{Concentration Program Requirements – Semester Hours: 12}

^{To satisfy the requirements of the aerospace concentration, four courses within this program must be satisfied from the following list of courses:}

^{Concentration Option: Mechatronics Engineering}

^{The Concentration in Mechatronics Engineering is aimed at educating mechanical engineering students in technology intergration to achieve optimal system functionality. A physical/mathematical model is created and used as a virtual prototype complete with sensors, autuators, controls, electronics, and plant. Successful computer simulation of the virtual prototype leads to the creation of a successful working hardward prototype and prepares the students to be multidisciplinary 21st century mechatronics engineers.}
