NMSU的EP是新墨西哥州唯一的工程物理学位课程。适用于希望将科学和数学应用于现实生活中的技术问题的学生。合作教育和实习的机会可以为学生提供动手工作的经验，这对于希望毕业后立即就职的学生而言非常重要。该计划由工程学院和物理系（艺术与科学学院）联合提供。工程物理学结合了物理学和工程学的精华。EP是对物理学的基础知识以及将这些基础知识应用于以下四个工程学科之一的研究：航空航天工程，化学工程，电气工程或机械工程。学生将在所选领域及其他领域获得更深入，更全面的理解。
A strong grasp of underlying physical principles behind the development of new technologies is necessary to keep up with new developments in a high-tech world. The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Engineering Physics degree program is designed to provide quality education to students for immediate employment with technical jobs in private industries (especially high-tech industries), research laboratories and public sectors. The program trains students with a combination of engineering knowledge, physics principles, mathematical background, problem-solving strategies and effective communication skills. The B.S. in Engineering Physics also provides an excellent preparation for graduate studies in either physics or an engineering discipline.<br>The B.S. degree in Engineering Physics confers an engineering credential. Students in the program complete an engineering core curriculum, as well as a rigorous course of study in physics and mathematics. A strong laboratory component prepares students in experimental techniques and technology using state-of-the-art equipment. The B.S. degree in Engineering Physics is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, Inc.
