Structural
Technically challenging and forever fascinating, NMSU’s Structural Engineering groups perform analysis, design, construction, and evaluation of buildings, bridges, and other structures to ensure public safety. These groups continue to push the boundaries of next generation materials, systems, and design.

Geotechnical
Dealing with the design, analysis, and construction of foundations, slopes, retaining structures, pavements, excavations, tunneling, earth dams, earthworks, and other systems made of or supported by soil or rock, NMSU’s Geotechnical Engineering Research groups have been engaged in federally funded research studies and have received numerous awards and recognition.
Faculty
Environmental
For over 30 years, the Civil Engineering Department has actively developed educational and research programs in various aspects of environmental engineering, to include sustainable engineering solutions for environmental problems to protect humans and our environment. Our groups focus on surface, groundwater, and wastewater treatment, quality analysis, and pollution control; solid and hazardous waste systems design; aquatic chemistry; environmental microbiology; and mass transfer of pollutants in engineered and natural systems.
Faculty
Water Resources
NMSU’s Water Resources Groups have engaged with the design and management of hydraulic structures and water resource development both domestically and internationally.
Faculty
Transportation
NMSU’s Transportation Engineering research strengths are Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Traffic Signal Systems. The Driver Simulation Laboratory is a place where students can model driver behavior and crash probability.
