Students may wish to obtain more than one option in civil engineering or two degrees from within the department. In addition to the university requirements for graduation, a student must have a 2.0 grade-point average in all departmental courses and take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination prior to graduation. Agricultural engineering is a unique combination of the physical and biological sciences.
Graduates apply general engineering principles to the solution of agricultural problems.
The program focuses on water resource, irrigation, drainage, and environmental engineering practices. Water Resources Civil Engineering Program Educational Objectives Civil engineers design, test and evaluate public works projects that include structures, environmental systems, water resources, transportation and geotechnical applications. Civil engineers work as private consultants, for public agencies, industrial companies and research organizations and therefore the tools and methods of the civil engineer are both varied and broad. They use knowledge and skills in engineering, mathematics, and physical and social sciences along with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to evaluate and improve such systems. The undergraduate civil engineering degree program at New Mexico State University prepares students to join the work force or pursue graduate education while setting the foundation for life-long learning.
