Mission
The College of Engineering and Computing Sciences offers high-quality undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs to prepare students for advanced studies and challenging positions in business, government, and industry. The college is guided in this mission by tenets embraced by New York Institute of Technology: the professional preparation of students, applications-oriented research, and access to opportunity for all qualified students.
Integral to success are our faculty’s dedication to teaching, scholarship, and service; the support of alumni, industrial advisory boards, friends, and employers; and the college’s state-of-the-art facilities that provide students with a solid foundation for achievement.
To accomplish our mission, the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences:
- Offers a broad range of outstanding, accredited academic programs
- Supports faculty members who are effective teacher-scholars committed to a student-centered, stimulating learning and research environment
- Engages students in applied projects, innovative design, and computing solutions to real industry questions
- Fosters connections and partnerships with employers, alumni, and the community at large
- Provides the physical space and modern facilities that befit a premier technology institute
Vision: Engineering for Society, Innovating for a Better World
At NYIT College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, students have the opportunity to work on 21st-century technological challenges that directly affect the world in which they live. The college is known as “the place” where innovators, engineering firms, public utilities, and federal and state agencies seek talented faculty and students to advance their projects, inventions, and technologies in the classroom, the lab, the field, or on site. By the time they graduate, our “industry ready” students are equipped with the fundamentals needed to pursue graduate studies and are prepared to join the workforce with minimal on-the-job training.
Degrees
The College of Engineering and Computing Sciences offers baccalaureate degrees in computer science, electrical and computer engineering, information technology, mechanical engineering, engineering management, electrical and computer engineering technology, and telecommunications network management. Students who have not chosen a specific branch of engineering as a major, or who do not fully satisfy the entrance requirements for engineering, may be classified with an “undeclared” status in the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences up to the end of their second year. Transfer students and students who have completed more than two years of coursework should check with both their academic and financial aid advisors regarding their status as majors. The college also offers master’s degrees in computer science, electrical and computer engineering, energy management, cybersecurity, data science, mechanical engineering, and bioengineering.
