Program Description
Laboratories constitute an important part of the electrical engineering program. Computer-based instruments and software packages provide students with up-to-date engineering and design techniques.
Engineering design is the iterative process of converting a set of needs into a process, system or component. Students learn to combine the tools of basic sciences, mathematics and engineering sciences to meet requirements using a process of establishing objectives and criteria, analysis, construction, test and evaluation. Several courses are strongly focused on the fundamentals of engineering design in which students apply understanding from previous courses to solve real-world problems. Projects for the final design courses change every year, and past contributors of projects include research laboratories at New Mexico Tech such as Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research, Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center, Etscorn Observatory, and those of individual professors; national organizations such as the VLA and VLBA facilities of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Naval Research Laboratory; and companies such as Microsoft and National Instruments.
Graduates of the electrical engineering program will be well equipped with the practical skills necessary for immediate employment, as well as with the intellectual base for graduate studies and lifelong learning.
Program Information & Policies
Students that transfer into the NMT EE program with course, will have EE equivalency determined on a case by case basis.
Program Educational Objectives for Undergraduate Program in Electrical Engineering
The faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering strives to continuously improve the undergraduate program in electrical engineering. The educational objectives reflect the needs of, and have been reviewed by, among others, the Advisory Board and faculty. Several years after graduation it is expected that the program’s graduates will be:
Recognized leaders in electrical engineering-related fields or other career paths, in the public and private sectors;
Valued leaders and participants in diverse teams who boldly discover and apply new knowledge and engineering practices;
Adaptive learners who continue to grow professionally in their organizations, or by earning post-graduate degrees.
