Candidates should have a strong commitment to teaching excellence and external funding for research/educational programs. Candidates should have an established record of collaboration and recruitment with high schools and community colleges. Lastly, candidates should have a demonstrated commitment to cultivate an understanding of the rich and varied cultures of New Mexico and to the success of the university's mission to serve local and global communities.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is committed to excellence in both undergraduate and graduate education offering BS (ABET accredited), MS and PhD degree programs. A team of 19 full-time faculty, and several research and part-time faculty, support the activities of close to 705 undergraduate students and more than 100 graduate students. We support both a strong core of mechanical engineering and interdisciplinary education that include the Space Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and NanoScience and MicroSystems Engineering programs.
