OPTION: Mechanical

OPTION: Manufacturing

As members of the engineering team, engineering technologists apply scientific and engineering principles and methods to solve technological problems. Engineering technology education emphasizes laboratory-based experience and the development of application skills. Employment areas include facility planning and operation, construction, technical management, manufacturing, systems development, quality control, and testing. Options are available in civil, electronics, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering technology.

Academic minors in environmental management, business administration, and other areas of study are available. Because of common curriculum requirements, a student may choose to pursue baccalaureate degrees in both (civil) engineering technology and surveying.

Graduation and general requirements of the College of Engineering apply to students in the Department of Engineering Technology. The department has established course transfer agreements with a number of two-year and four-year institutions. At least 21 credits specifically in the transfer student's program option must be earned in residence at the main campus of NMSU (15 residence credits for an associate degree).
