建筑工程是工程，建筑和建筑管理的结合。新墨西哥大学的建筑工程专业本科课程是为那些想要在建筑行业工作并享有专业工程师资格的人设计的。它与“施工管理”程序相似，但更侧重于工程和技术课程。学生有机会与导师一起进行现实生活中的项目，例如规划和设计从废水处理泻湖到80英尺高的人行天桥等设施的建设。
Construction Engineering, a blend of engineering, construction, and construction management courses, prepares students to work in the construction industry as professional engineers. It is similar to Construction Management but with more emphasis on engineering and technical courses. This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
