Major companies recruit mechanical engineering students at NMSU because we provide a hands-on education. Students take engineering courses that explain engine cycles, robotics, aerodynamics, and how to use computers to solve engineering problems. Design classes at NMSU give students opportunities to work with local businesses in designing and building actual products.
Students receive hands-on work experience using the latest machinery in the manufacturing industry.
Co-Op is an opportunity for students to work for a company and earn money for part of the year.
