I just wanted to clear up this point, SUNY Maritime, does in fact have a rigorous engineering program that is ABET accredited. They confer B.E. degrees in a few majors. From their website:
"Maritime College’s Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Facilities Engineering programs are accredited by EAC. "
I know the school also helps to prepare you for the FE exam for those students wishing to pursue that.
