The College
NMSU Regents Professor
Welcome to the College of Engineering at New Mexico State University. From its beginning in 1891 with the first courses offered in civil and mechanical engineering, the College of Engineering has been a leader in preparing students for rewarding careers. Our graduates are highly sought by businesses and industry throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. More than 150 companies and government agencies recruited our students in recent years. Our faculty members have distinguished themselves with numerous awards in both teaching and research.
They uniquely combine engineering fundamentals and design with practical, hands-on experiences, giving our graduates a competitive advantage in both industry and advanced graduate studies. Strong industrial support provides our students with a variety of co-operative education and summer internship opportunities as well as real-world capstone design projects prior to graduation. Strong research programs expose graduate students to the cutting edge of knowledge in many areas of engineering. In 2004, the National Science Foundation ranked NMSU engineering 22nd nationally based on federally funded research expenditures.
We are constantly seeking to increase the quality of our programs and find ways to better serve our constituents. Strong initiatives in water, energy, the environment, aerospace, bridge health and transportation and information sciences implemented across our six departments along with the Institute for Energy and the Environment, the Bridge Transportation Center, the Electric Utility Management Program, the Manufacturing Technology Engineering Center and the Center for Telemetering and Telecommunications are focused on solving societal problems through new technology developed in our research and extension programs.
Please take a look at our web pages and contact us if we can be of service through our education and research programs.
