As part of the land grant mission of NMSU, a business or individual who
seeks technical assistance can
apply online to access the service. M-TEC works
with new businesses, individuals and existing organizations that are seeking to
start or expand a business. M-TEC also works with NMSU faculty and staff in
support of research initiatives. The M-TEC team consists of engineers,
machinists, fabricators, and students and has many years of combined expertise.
The
online application asks potential customers to describe the economic
development potential, as a means and rational for taking on a project. M-TEC
can provide many engineering and training services related to mechanical/
electrical design and manufacturing to get a project from concept to finished
product. Our goal is to see a business or individual succeed in creating a new
company, growing an existing business, creating new jobs or adding wealth to the
community. M-TEC has assisted over 300 business and individuals and many success
stories.
M-TEC supports workforce development by providing
short course training activities and by
partnering with New Mexico High Schools and Community Colleges through programs such as
Project Lead The Way.
