The School of EngineeringEngineering instruction at the University of New Mexico has a rich tradition, beginning in 1906, withfour-year programs in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Mining Engineering. The first Bachelor ofScience degree was awarded in June 1912. By 1916, enrollment was at 37 with two or three graduates eachyear. In 1947, the Department of Chemical Engineering was established, and in 1972 it expanded to theDepartment of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering. Computer Science courses were initially offered inthe Mathematics Department and in 1976, the Computer Science Department was established. With theaddition of Computer Engineering to the Department of Electrical Engineering in 1979, the present-daycomplement of academic departments was in place.This fall, the UNM School of Engineering enrolled over 1100 students in nine undergraduate degreeprograms and close to 700 students in more than a dozen graduate degree programs. These degrees areoffered through the School’s five academic departments and, increasingly, through interdisciplinary andinterdepartmental programs. Research is integrated into each degree program in an environment thatfosters teamwork, cultural and intellectual diversity, a strong sense of public responsibility, and lifelonglearning. An exceptionally active research faculty work in critical and cutting-edge areas, collaboratingwithin UNM and with other universities, the national laboratories, and industry to develop innovativesolutions for societal challenges.9
