The Master of Engineering is a professional-focused, coursework-exclusive (Plan III) program. As the sole provider in New Mexico, UNM offers this degree along with programs in Construction Engineering and Construction Management.
This engineering master's program blends advanced civil engineering design training with strong communication skill development. Focused on practical application, it equips students with both technical knowledge and management capabilities for successful engineering careers.
Designed for working professionals, the program offers flexible online course options for those unable to attend UNM's main campus. Graduates enter a favorable job market where engineering professionals remain in high demand.
Developed through partnerships with industry leaders, the program benefits from close collaboration with local engineering firms and national laboratories. Brian Burnett, president of Bohannan Huston, Inc. and chair of the department's advisory board, notes the growing industry preference for education beyond bachelor's level. According to Burnett, UNM's program produces better-prepared professionals while minimizing workplace training needs.
