New
Mexico Tech's Electrical Engineering Department concentrates on providing
students with a high-quality program with a strong fundamental foundation
in electronics, signals, electromagnetics, and design. As with other
degree programs at Tech, students also get a strong background in the
basic sciences, mathematics, humanities, and social sciences.
In
addition to theoretical studies, we emphasize laboratory classes, providing
important hands-on, practical experience in electrical engineering
topics. The labs are closely integrated with the lectures, reinforcing
classroom learning. The department laboratories are equipped with modern
electronic instrumentation and makes use of personal computer-based
software packages commonly used in engineering.
During junior and senior years, students work in
teams on design projects, applying their classroom learning to sophisticated
problems tied to industrial, government or academic sponsors.
The Master’s degree program in Electrical Engineering
allows graduates to enter an advanced academic program and provides
the opportunity for students to develop a strong background in the
research areas of the department. Typically these research programs
are tied groups outside of the department such as: Energetic Materials
Research Testing Center, Langmuir Laboratory, Magdalena Ridge Observatory,
National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Incorporated Research Institutions
for Seismology and Institute for Complex Additive Systems; all easily
accessible from campus.
Here are just a few of the companies our
many graduates work for:
