Program overview
The AAS in applied mechanical technology is an Associate+Bachelor’s degree program that prepares students to enter and successfully complete a baccalaureate program in the College of Applied Science and Technology in manufacturing engineering technology or mechanical engineering technology. Students strengthen their skills by taking courses taught by NTID faculty.
These courses systematically address the preparatory challenges that deaf and hard-of-hearing students face upon entry to the majors in the College of Applied Science and Technology.
Students in the applied mechanical technology major receive a comprehensive foundation in engineering fundamentals: precision measurement, precision machining, computer-aided design applications, strength of materials, and machine design. Upon successful completion of the AAS degree in Applied Mechanical Technology, students enroll directly into the bachelor’s degree program in either manufacturing engineering technology or mechanical engineering technology.
Prerequisites
ACT: Composite test score of 18 or higher
English: Placement into a First Year Writing course, such as FYW: Writing Seminar (UWRT-150) or Critical Reading and Writing (UWRT-100).
Mathematics: Entrance into NTID’s Trigonometry (NMTH-220) course.
Science: Entrance into the College of Science’s College Physics I (PHYS-111) course; however, students who did not take physics in high school are recommended to take a bridging Physics course at NTID, such as Concepts of College Physics (NSCI-270).
Enrollment requirements
Students who graduate in good standing from NTID and have maintained a grade of C or better in the six NTID Applied Mechanical Technology technical courses should be well-prepared for the College of Applied Science and Technology.

Quarter Curriculum - For Reference Only
Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. The following content has been made available as reference only. Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.
Program overview
The AAS in applied mechanical technology is an Associate+Bachelor’s degree program that prepares students to enter and successfully complete a baccalaureate program in the College of Applied Science and Technology in manufacturing engineering technology or mechanical engineering technology. Students strengthen their skills by taking NTID English and science courses or NTID math and science courses, as well as program courses. These courses systematically address the preparatory challenges that deaf and hard-of-hearing students face upon entry to the programs in the College of Applied Science and Technology.
Students in the applied mechanical technology program receive a comprehensive foundation in engineering fundamentals: precision measurement, precision machining, computer-aided design applications, strength of materials, and machine design. Upon successful completion of the AAS degree in applied mechanical technology, students enroll directly into the bachelor’s degree program in either manufacturing engineering technology or mechanical engineering technology.
Prerequisites
ACT: Composite test score of 18 or higher
English: Placement into the College of Liberal Arts’ Writing Seminar (0502-227) course; students who qualify for Written Communication II (0502-111) will be considered for admission.
Mathematics: Entrance into NTID’s Elements of Trigonometry (0884-220) course.
Science: Entrance into the College of Science’s College Physics I course after a single NTID science course.
Enrollment requirements
Students who graduate in good standing from NTID and have maintained a grade of C or better in the six NTID applied mechanical technology technical courses should be well-prepared for the College of Applied Science and Technology.
Curriculum
Semester conversion
Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. Each program and its associated courses have been sent to the New York State Department of Education for approval of the semester plan. For reference, the following charts illustrate the typical course sequence for this program in both quarters and semesters. Students should consult their academic advisers with questions regarding planning and course selection.
