The Aggie Ingeniero Newsletter – May 2025

In just a few weeks, we will proudly celebrate the graduation of another outstanding class of engineering students. As part of this milestone, many graduates will participate in the Order of the Engineer ceremony, taking an oath to uphold the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and service in the engineering profession. We are excited to welcome them into the NMSU community of engineers and look forward to all they will accomplish.

For those considering the next steps in their professional journey, the College of Engineering offers professional master’s degrees designed for flexibility and career advancement, which can be pursued part-time or full-time. Whether you are a recent graduate or a working professional looking to build new skills, you can apply and start when the time is right for you.

Interim Dean

This is also a time of transformation for our college facilities. With the expansion of the New Mexico Mutual Metal Additive Manufacturing Center and the replacement of the old Thomas and Brown Hall, we are making room for modern spaces that will foster innovation, collaboration, and hands-on learning.

These projects represent our ongoing commitment to providing students with the best possible learning environment to grow and succeed. Thank you all for being part of the exciting momentum at NMSU Engineering.
