Engineering Technology
Engineering technology education places an emphasis on the practical application of engineering principles and methods. Engineering technology graduates have employment opportunities in areas such as product and systems development, manufacturing, technical and project management, construction, facilities planning and operation, and testing.
Lists of course equivalencies are available for students transferring to NMSU from most New Mexico and some out-of-state institutions. In addition, the department has some extended articulation agreements, or can provide a method of validation of transfer coursework in many technical subject areas. The department requires that at least 21 credits specifically in the transfer student’s program must be earned at the Las Cruces campus of NMSU. General degree requirements of the College of Engineering and University apply to students in the Department of Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering. Many ET-prefixed courses carry one or more prerequisites. The instructor of a course may waive a prerequisite(s) for a student, if doing so will not negatively impact the quality of the student’s educational experience.
The department also offers associate degree programs in Electronics and Computer, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering Technology.
The mission of the Department of Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering is to provide students with a quality engineering technology education that links theory and application and that gives students enhanced career opportunities. The department's goals supporting this mission are: (1) to provide educational and social environments that promote and facilitate student learning; (2) to have a highly respected and visible department; (3) to foster the development of the department; and (4) to graduate students who are competent and sought after by industry.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Information and Communication Technology is a distance education, degree completion program. The program focuses on the knowledge and experience that is required to design, implement, and manage a variety of information systems. The curriculum includes the study of computer hardware, application and operating systems software, system integration, database design and management, networking, and network security. Graduates of the program can expect to enter the workforce with titles that include Information Technologist, Systems or Network Administrator, Project Manager, Database Administrator, and Computer Support Specialist.
The program is designed to be an educational path to the baccalaureate degree for graduates of computer and technology-related associate degree programs from community colleges or other two-year institutions. It is also a viable degree path for students who have completed the freshmen and sophomore years of computer or technology-related programs at four-year institutions including, of course, New Mexico State University.
The ICT program is a distance education program and does not require any on-campus visits, although a limited number of optional, on-campus laboratories may be offered for certain classes. Students who are successful in distance education programs typically are self-motivated, do not rely heavily on face-to-face instruction, work independently, and can remain on schedule.
This program was not designed to be an engineering or engineering technology program although there is significant overlap with one of the engineering technology programs offered by the department. Thus, the Information and Communication Technology Program differs from the other baccalaureate programs offered by the departments in the College of Engineering in that it is not accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)., the accrediting agency for engineering and technology. However, the ICT program is accredited under New Mexico State University's accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
DEGREE: Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology (128 credits)
Freshman and Sophomore Years (80 credits)
The freshman and sophomore years are typical of computer and technology-related associate degree programs from accredited community colleges, or other two-year institutions.
Typically, students with an AS or ASS degree enter the ICT major having met the General Education requirements (32 credits) of:
| Area I: Public Speaking | 3 |
| Area I: English Composition | 3 |
| Area I: College Level Writing | 3 |
| Area III: Laboratory Science | 8 |
| Area IV: Social/Behavioral Sciences: | 6-9 |
| Area V: Humanities and Fine Arts | 6-9 |
Additionally, AS or AAS graduates have met the following ICT major specific requirements or their equivalents:
| MATH 121G, College Algebra | 3 |
| E T 262, Software Technology I | 3 |
| E T 120, Computational and Presentation Software | 3 |
| Electives (Typically content courses from an AS or AAS) | 39 |
If a student has not met the above requirements, they must make arrangements to fulfill these prerequisites or their equivalents.
Junior and Senior years
The ICT degree is a distance education styled degree in which students will take ICT courses via the Internet. To that end, they must have familiarity with and access to:
- a computer with a CD drive
- a current web browser
- a high speed Internet connection
- e-mail capability
- a sound card, and
- Microsoft Office

Surveying Engineering
Surveying Engineering involves the application of knowledge to the analysis , design, and execution of surveying and mapping projects and the design of land mapping and information systems. Surveyors rely on an understanding of the science of surveying measurement and analysis, the legal principles of boundary location, the laws related to boundaries and land use, and applicable mathematical and computational theories and principles when performing this work. Positional accuracy, land planning and development concepts pertinent to subdivision sciences such as geodesy are each a part of professional surveying. Surveying engineers work for private surveying or engineering firms, for City, County, State or Federal Highway Departments, for State Lands Commissions, for the US Forest Service and for the US Bureau of Land Management.
The mission of the Department of Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering is to provide men and women with the rigorous, fundamental education needed to enter and succeed in the surveying and surveying-related professions.
To accomplish this mission, the department will introduce students to the theory and application of recognized surveying principles.
