Liberal Arts and Science Elective Credits: 3 Term Total: 14 Electric and Autonomous Vehicles, A.O.S. Associate in Occupational Studies HEGIS #5306.00 Department Chairperson: Christopher McNally, Ph.D. Williams Hall, Room 126, (518) 629-7275 The automotive industry continues to encompass new and emerging technologies, and there is a recognized need to better prepare the automotive workforce for the growing wave of electric and autonomous vehicles entering the market. This degree program will walk students through all the related technologies associated with electric and autonomous vehicles, as well as advanced driver assistance systems and vehicle cyber-security. Entering students must possess a valid New York State driver's license and a professional tool set as prescribed by the Applied Technologies Department. In addition, students must wear uniforms, purchase required manuals and adhere to the attendance policy of the department. Attendance is mandatory.
Each student completes the calculations, drawings and proposals required in four major design projects. Design projects include restaurant and commercial air conditioning, residential heat pump, hydronic heating, and hot air heating. Emphasis is placed on use of manufacturers' literature and design aids. Computer programs are used to speed selections of equipment and evaluation of systems performance. Pre-requisite(s): HVAC 203 HVAC/R Systems Design I Pre- or co- requisite(s): HVAC 240 Heat Transfer
Heating plants using gas, oil and wood are tested fo efficiency and safe operation. Basic service and repair procedures are performed on each type of furnace/boiler. Commercial ice makers are also studied. Students adjust and repair at least four major brands. Pre- or co- requisite(s): HVAC 240 Heat Transfer Systems II. Lab fee will be required Terms Offered: Fall, Spring Offered Distance Learning: No Credits: 4 Contact Hours: Lab: 8
Various systems are repaired and studied to determine a logical sequence of operations; using meters and gauges to analyze and diagnose problems and perform the necessary service to equipment. Diverse and more sophisticated equipment is studied with the emphasis on heat pumps, commercial refrigeration and air conditioning with capacity control. Pre-requisite(s): HVAC 220 Heat Transfer Lab.

Term Total: 16 Mechatronics, A.A.S. Associate in Applied Science HEGIS #5311 Department Chairperson: Christopher McNally, Ph.D. Williams Hall, Room 126, (518) 629-7275 This program has been deactivated effective Fall 2024 and as such, applications are no longer being accepted. The term Mechatronics originally was a fusion of the words mechanical and electronics. The modern use of the term Mechatronics addresses the four interconnected disciplines used in the design, operation, and maintenance of all modern, complex machinery. These four disciplines are mechanical, electrical/electronics, motor control systems, and computer science/information technology. The courses selected for this degree offer learning in all of
