The College of Engineering at New Mexico State University will host an Engineering Technology Forum and Exchange on Thursday, Feb. 18 from 1:30-5 pm in the Physical Science Laboratory Auditorium on the NMSU campus. The purpose of the forum is to foster relationships and information sharing among engineering-based businesses and research faculty. The forum will feature presentations by engineering faculty about their current research in the areas of homeland security, energy technology, space systems, health care and transportation infrastructure. Participants will have the opportunity to share information and ideas about emerging technologies and engineering research and development opportunities with other businesses and NMSU engineering faculty. There is no charge to participate or exhibit in this event. Registration is required for exhibitors. Charter members of the NMSU College of Engineering Technology Forum and Exchange will have the opportunity to plan and shape future technology forums.

NMSU College of Engineering Technology Forum and Exchange Become a charter member of the New Mexico State University Technology Forum. Each year New Mexico State University will sponsor the Technology Forum and Exchange. This inaugural meeting will be on February 17-18 during NMSU’s Engineering Week. The Forum’s purpose is to have graduates from our engineering program spread across the United States and Internationally, meet one another and share information about technologies you are working on personally, or technologies your company’s are working on that are unique and innovative. It will also be time for former NMSU graduates now working in industry and government to share information about themselves and their company’s in a special environment. We expect those ‘charter’ members who participate will share ideas about emerging technologies with other engineering oriented businesses and NMSU engineering faculty and invited engineering student leaders preparing to meet technology challenges.
