As a reminder, enrollment is currently open for two new programs launching at Hudson Valley this fall: Electric and Autonomous Vehicles and Welding and Fabrication.
The new Electric and Autonomous Vehicles A.O.S. is a two-year, 63-credit program leading to an Associate of Occupational Studies degree. The program will focus on teaching the skills needed to diagnose and repair the emerging technologies found in electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles, including advanced driver assistance systems and vehicle cybersecurity, as well as teaching students the foundational skills needed to perform general automotive repair. Graduates of the program will be prepared to enter the workforce immediately as automotive technicians with an emphasis on electric and autonomous vehicles, as well as pursue additional professional certifications in the field of their choosing. At this time, there is no other degree program like it in the region.
The new Welding and Fabrication A.O.S. is a two-year, 64-credit program that also leads to an Associate of Occupational Studies degree. This program will prepare graduates for a career in welding with an emphasis on metal fabrication. The unique curriculum will include a broad base of knowledge in fabrication and welding, along with instruction in areas like CAD, metrology and metallurgy, providing students with an advanced education not available in other welding programs and preparing them to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation. The program will be housed in a new welding lab in Lang Hall, formerly the Senior Advanced Manufacturing Lab; construction is nearing completion and will be finished in time for the start of the fall semester.
Both of these programs lead to well-paid careers immediately after graduation and were created in response to growing industry demand in our region. Please let students know of these new programs and encourage them to enroll!
More details can be found in the press release on the new programs on the college’s website. You may also contact Dean of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Jonathan Ashdown at (518) 629-7149 or j.ashdown@hvcc.edu.
