Academic Departments and Program Offerings

The College of Engineering offers nine degree programs. The list below gives an overview of what each major involves. Click on the link for the department to see examples of projects, research and jobs that each field has to offer.

    Chemical Engineering (ChE)

    Chemical Engineers design new power sources, keep our water clean, and help manufacture the thousands of chemicals which make modern life possible.

    The following degrees are offered in Chemical Engineering at NMSU:

    • Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE)
    • Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (MSChE)
    • Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering

    Civil Engineering (CE)

    Civil Engineers design buildings, dams, bridges, roads, and other components of our social infrastructure: ensuring their safety and usability.

    The following degrees are offered in Civil Engineering at NMSU:

    • Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE)
    • Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE)
    • Master of Science in Environmental Engineering (MSEE)
    • Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering

    Klipsch School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EE)

    Electrical and Computer Engineers design the hardware and software we use every day, from cell phones and I-Pods ® to satellites and lasers.

    The following degrees are offered in Electrical Engineering at NMSU:

    • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE)
    • Computer Engineering Option Minor
    • Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE)
    • Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering

    Engineering Physics

    Engineering Physics merges the theoretical science of physics with the more practical discipline of engineering. Engineering Physicists specialize in either Electrical or Mechanical Engineering. The program is offered jointly by the College of Engineering and the Department of Physics (College of Arts & Sciences). It is the only engineering physics degree program in New Mexico.

    Engineering Technology (ET)

    Engineering Technologists build, repair and test the designs of engineers. Specializing in Civil, Electronic and Computer, Information and Communication, or Mechanical Technology, technologists bridge the gap between designer and user. Without technologists, the designs of engineers would just be scraps of paper.

    The following degrees are offered in Engineering Technology at NMSU:

    • Associate of Science in Engineering Technology (ASET)
      • Civil Engineering Technology Option
      • Mechanical Engineering Technology Option
      • Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology Option
    • Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET)
      • Civil Engineering Technology Option
        • Construction Emphasis
      • Mechanical Engineering Technology Option
        • Manufacturing Minor
      • Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology Option
        • Security Technology Minor
    • Bachelor of  Information and Communication Technology

    Industrial Engineering (IE)

    Industrial Engineers design efficient processes, from figuring out how many check-out stands a grocery store needs to how paper flows through an office.

    The following degrees are offered in Industriall Engineering at NMSU:

    • Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE)
    • Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (MSIE)
    • Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering

    Mechanical Engineering (ME)

    Aerospace Engineers design rockets for space exploration and airplanes to get us where we're going quickly and safely. Mechanical Engineers use principles such as heat, force, and the conservation of mass and energy to analyze static and dynamic physical systems, in contributing to the design of things such as automobiles, aircraft, and other vehicles, heating and cooling systems, household appliances, industrial equipment and machinery, weapons systems, etc.

    The following degrees are offered in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at NMSU:

    • Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering (BSAE)
    • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME)
    • Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME)
    • Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) with Manufacturing Engineering Minor Program for Boeing Employees
    • Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering

    Surveying Engineering (SE)

    Survey Engineers use laser and satellite technology to measure large formations, stake-out new construction sites, map the earth, and define property boundaries.

    The following degrees are offered in Surveying Engineering at NMSU:

    • Bachelor of Science in Surveying Engineering (BSSE)
    • Surveying Engineering Minor

     

    Accreditation

    • Programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Civil, Chemical, Electrical, Industrial, Mechanical and Surveying Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET.
    • Programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Civil, Electronics and Computer and Mechanical Engineering Technology are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of ABET.
    • The program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Information and Communication Technology is not designed to be an engineering technology program, and therefore, is not accredited by TAC of ABET.
    • The program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics is currently seeking accreditation.
