Engineering Physics (EP) | |
 |
EP Faculty 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. The following degrees are offered in Engineering Physics at NMSU:
|
Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering (ETSE) | |
 |
Engineering Technology Brochure (.pdf) | Surveying Engineering Brochure (.pdf) 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 only Engineering Technology degree programs in New Mexico. The following degrees are offered in Engineering Technology at NMSU:
|
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 only Industrial Engineering degree in New Mexico. The following degrees are offered in Industrial Engineering at NMSU:
|
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ME/AE) | |
 |
AE Program Brochure (.pdf) | ME Program Brochure (.pdf) Aerospace Engineers design develop, and test aerodynamic vehicles and spacecraft as well as their related systems. NMSU offers the only aerospace program in New Mexico. The following degrees are offered in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at NMSU:
