The Klipsch School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at New Mexico State university offers Master's and Doctoral programs specializing in computer engineering. In addition to the traditional computer engineering research areas of architecture, design and instrumentation, the department is also actively involved in research in signal and image processing, computer network modeling and performance evaluation, electronic vision and robotics, and parallel computing architectures, operating systems, applications, and performance analysis. Much of the computer engineering research and course work at New Mexico State University involves the design, analysis, simulating, and prototyping of digital systems, microcomputer systems, and multiprocessors. Students have access to a wide range of equipment with which to develop their designs, including numerous single-board computers, development systems, logic analyzers, desktop computers, CAD systems, mainframes, and various parallel machines.
Funds are generally available to procure any additional hardware required for student projects.
The individual program of study depends upon the student's interests and preparation, the advisor's background and interests, and the student's potential research area. A minimum of 24 hours of course work plus a minimum of 6 hours of thesis . A minimum of 30 hours of course work plus at least 3 hours of technical report . A minimum of 36 hours of course work . At least 15 hours of course work must be at the 500 level.
