Admission

Undergraduate Admission

The undergraduate admission requirements to Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering are the same as the NMSU admission requirements.

If you are in high school it is recommended that you take:
4 years of math to the calculus level
Chemistry and Physics

For additional information related to applying for admission, please visit the College of Engineering Admission page.

Graduate Admission

The graduate program admission has two levels: Graduate School requirements, and departmental admission requirements must both be considered.

This is done on an individual basis because of the diversity of backgrounds of applicants in the program. An applicant should meet or correspond directly with the graduate faculty as a first step in determining his or her specific admission status. For more information about the NMSU graduate requirements go to: http://prospective.nmsu.edu/

NMSU Graduate School Admission

Students seeking regular admission to the NMSU Graduate School must hold an undergraduate or advanced degree from an accredited institution with an overall grade point average of 3.0. Students with other equivalent backgrounds may be admitted if they meet the departmental prerequisites stated below.

A prospective student should secure the necessary admission forms at http://gradschool.nmsu.edu. After receiving a completed application and two sets of transcripts from all colleges at which the student was previously enrolled, (NMSU graduates must provide only one transcript), the Graduate School will forward application materials and transcripts to the Department of Industrial Engineering for review. The student will be notified regarding his or her acceptance by the Graduate School. No material is forwarded to the department for review until all required application materials have been received by the Graduate School.

Departmental Admission Requirements

Students are eligible for regular admission to graduate study in the ME graduate program if the following conditions are met:

1. A student holds a bachelor's degree in Engineering from a school accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)
   or
   A student holds a bachelor's degree from an accredited school and meets the math prerequisites of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The prerequisites are: 9 hours in calculus; 3 hours in differential equations.
2. All students must have a grade point average of 3.0 or above (based on A=4.0) during their last 60 hours of undergraduate study.
