VOLUME55 NUMBER 7 FUNDED BY YOUR MAM) ITORYSTUDENT ACTlim FEE FEBRUARY 14. 1985
FARMINGDALE TO OFFER
BACHELORDEGREE
B y Diane Healy
S.U.N.Y. Farmingdale has
been approved to offer its first
baccalaureate programs in elec-trical
technology and in manu-facturing
technology. The
School of Engineering Tech-nologies
first had to undergo an
extensive, on-site evaluation.
However, the State Board of
Regents must have been pleas-ed
with the results, for on
Jan.29, they announced their
approval of the proposed prog-rams.
The evaluation visit was
conducted by a team of staff
and six expert consultants. Its
purpose was to assess Farm-infi;
dale's academic quality in
technilogical areas. They con-cluded
that the campus has a
sufficient number of full-time
faculty, who are highly qual-ified
both by education and
experience. The report also
stated that the facilities and
equipment in electrical and
manufacturing technologies at
Farmingdale were outstanding.
The total enrollment for the
two programs is projected at
150 full-time equivalant stud-ents
in the first year. Enroll-ment
in the second and sub-sequent
years is expected to
rise to 270. Included in these
figures are 50 part-time
students from the local indust-ry
who are current holders of an
A.A.S. degree.
One reason for the installa-tion
of these programs is the
increasing number of high-tech
firms locating to Long Island.
Twenty-one percent of New
York's high-technology bus-inesses,
and nineteen percent of
the states high-tech personnel
are located on Long Island.
Opportunities for engiTieering,
technical specialists are ever-increasing
as firms originate
and expand on the Island.
Mr. Demitrios Maltezos,
Dean of the School of Eng-ineering
Technologies said,
"We designed the programs...to
produce quality students with
the ability to set up and run a
production line and to super-vise
technicians. We'd like to
see students stay on Long
Island and help local industries
here."
The expansion of Farming-dale's
programs will be a boon
to both new students and to
employed technicians who can
further their career prospects.
Farmingdale is already an ac-knowledged
leader in offering
academic courses in CAD/CAM
at the two year engineering
technology level. The addition-al
programs Will help contribute
to an even superior education.
