Manhattan College To Partner With Con Edison For Master’s Degree Program In Electrical Or Mechanical Engineering

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Manhattan College’s school of engineering, in conjunction with Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison), will introduce its Master of Science in electrical or mechanical engineering program during a ceremony on Monday, Sept. 24 at 4:30 p.m. in the Fischbach Room of Leo Hall. Attendees are expected to include Brother Thomas Scanlan, president of Manhattan College, and Louis Rana, president and chief operating officer of Con Edison.

The program will provide advanced training and study that is convenient and efficient for students who also are pursuing professional career activities. It will build on previous training within the Con Edison organization and provide qualified graduate students at Manhattan College the opportunity to acquire knowledge and expertise in a focused area of engineering – power technology – in a relatively short period of time.

A master’s degree requires successful completion of 10 courses. Participants will satisfy this requirement with some combination of the following:

• Possible transfer credit from power technology coursework (2-3 courses)

• On-site courses at Con Edison (3-4 depending on the major)

• Additional coursework at Manhattan College (as needed to complete 10 graduate courses)

Electrical engineering on-site courses include: System Engineering, Analysis and Management; Emerging Technologies in Modern Transmission Systems; Modern Engineering Computation and Direct Energy Conversion. Manhattan College will offer courses in Signals, Systems and Transforms I; Signals, Systems and Transforms II; and Probability and Stochastic Processes.

For the mechanical engineering discipline, on-site courses include: Turbomachinery; Application of Instrumentation and Data Acquisition; and Modern Engineering Computations. At Manhattan College, degree candidates will take classes in Energy Conversion; Combustion Systems; HVAC Design; Applied Heat Transfer; Computational Fluid Dynamics; and Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics.

Manhattan College also offers graduate programs in computer engineering, chemical engineering, environmental engineering and civil engineering, in addition to certificate programs and Continuing Education Hour (CEH) courses.
