ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ reconnects its historic mining identity with the future of engineering, innovation and industry partnership.
ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ held its first classes as the State School of Mines and Metallurgy at El Paso.
The last Mining Engineering class graduated.
ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ relaunches Mining Engineering.
ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ established a deep-rooted legacy in mining and materials education from its foundation as a university in 1913, creating the core values ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ Miners hold highly through to modern times: excellence, integrity, innovation and resilience.
The nickname “Miners” reflects ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ’s original mission: to train engineers and leaders for the mining and materials industries that fueled regional and national growth. Mining engineering shaped the University’s identity for decades. Although the last mining engineering class graduated in 1966, its legacy has endured, woven into ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ’s culture, mascot and traditions. With the relaunch, ÇÑ×ÓÊÓÆµ proudly reconnects this historic identity with the future of engineering.
