Mineral Engineering at New Mexico Tech

<p>I am looking to be a mining/mineral engineer and I am looking at New Mexico Tech. Although NMT calls it "mineral engineering," their program is ABET accredited for mining engineering. I have been having trouble finding information on the program. I know New Mexico Tech isn't a well known school, but it has been harder to find information on the mineral engineering department since it is such a niche major. </p>

<p>What companies recruit at NMT (one of the students who won an SME Coal scholarship interned with Peabody)? How big is the department? How are the teachers? Will I be able to get a job with a major mining company?</p>

<p>Anybody know anything about the Mineral Engineering Department at New Mexico Tech?</p>
