“I am into math and science, so I like problem solving. I like that the labs are hands-on, which give me the chance to fully understand what is being taught. The labs really go with the lectures. You are learning something and then you are learning it again in a way that will be useful outside of college.”

"Projects like these are great opportunities for our students to take the knowledge learned in the classroom and apply it to real life situations. It is great to have advisory board members return to campus to learn about these projects and serve as judges. The input they give the students just adds to the experience."

“I love the labs that we get to apply what we were learning in the classrooms. Working on projects with other classmates really helped instill what I learned from the professors. The professors really care about your education and will help you any wat that they can.”

“There are so many high-quality professors that have worked in the industry. The class sizes are small, and the professors can help. We learn everything during lectures and put them to use on paper and then we go into labs and use apparatuses and do experiments using actual tools."

“I chose Alfred State because of the hands-on opportunities that I get here and the affordability of the college. I chose mechanical engineering because I like to take things apart and see how things work inside. I also like the design aspect of mechanical systems.”

“Alfred State allows students the opportunity to get a more hands-on knowledge-based knowledge set. We get to do a lot more hands-on based things and I think that is more applicable to working in the industry.”
