Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
If it is a machine, a mechanical engineer designed it.
Mechanical Engineering (ME) is the most diverse of all engineering disciplines, finding application in almost all industries and product markets. Modern engineering has a role in almost every aspect of life - from home appliances to transportation systems, biomedical devices and power generation.
Aerospace engineers design, develop and test aerodynamic vehicles and related systems.
As an aerospace engineer you may work on earth or in space, on aircraft or spacecraft. Or your field may be in water vessel development of ships and submarines, or ground transportation for fuel efficiences and high speed-high tech vehicles.
NMSU's Mechanical Engineering Department has been educating mechanical engineers since the university opened in 1888. Beginning in Fall 2006, the ME Department expanded to include an undergraduate degree program in Aerospace Engineering; the first and only Aerospace program in New Mexico and west Texas.
NMSU Engineering students ready cars for mini baja competition
New Mexico State University students from various disciplines are coming together to build and promote mini baja off-road racecars to enter in Baja SAE, a series of competitions held in various locations around the United States.
The competition is sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers and draws more than 300 entries from various universities from the United States and countries around the world. The NMSU team will compete in Bellingham, Wash. from May 16 to 19, alongside teams from Mexico, Canada, India, France and South Korea.
NMSU mechanical engineer receives Fulbright Fellowship for biomechanics research
An acquaintance made more than a decade ago has led to Igor Sevostianov, New Mexico State University associate professor of mechanical engineering, to be named a Fulbright Fellow. Later this month, he will travel to Vienna, Austria to teach and conduct research on the structure of bone.
