Materials Engineering

 

minor code: MAEG

Faculty Steward: Zhou

The Materials Engineering minor at New Mexico State University is part of a materials education program that addresses the growing demand for engineers and scientists with understanding of the wide range of materials, their properties, and means of characterization.  A student must pass 18 credits from a list available in the Chemical Engineering departmental office with a grade C or better.  The minor includes one required course, and the balance elective courses chosen from a menus available on the Chemical Engineering website. No courses may be taken S/U.  All prerequisites for the classes must be met or consent of the instructor obtained before enrolling in class.

Available to both graduate and undergraduate students.
