Engineering @Northern

Hands-on from day one.

Northern New Mexico College's Engineering and Technology department is unique in northern New Mexico. With an average class size of 12, we offer you the personalized attention difficult to get at larger universities, and we are one of the most affordable in the nation. Also, we provide strong hands-on experiences and undergraduate research opportunities from day one, and we make sure that every single engineering class provides such experiences.

We are dedicated to developing your potential as a community leader in the areas of engineering and technology. Many of our students are placed in the field even before graduation. They are preferentially recruited by Los Alamos National Lab and engineering companies in the region, and many students enjoy internships as part of their educational experience.

Northern’s Engineering Bachelor's are ABET-Accredited

According to the ABET website, “ABET accreditation provides assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards of the profession for which that program prepares graduates. With ABET accreditation, students, parents, employers, and the society we serve can be confident that a program meets the quality standards that produce graduates prepared to enter a global workforce.”

Student Research:
Parkinson’s Glove Project

Northern's engineering students and Española Valley High School’s (EVHS) Math, Engineering, Science Application (MESA) program are applying the engineering skills they are learning to a project that could significantly improve the lives of Parkinson’s patients. Under the direction and mentorship of Dr. Steve Cox and EVHS teachers Janice Patal-e and Lyne Salero, the students are working to develop a glove that sends electrical impulses through the nerves to alleviate symptoms of the disease.
