Accessible faculty

Most School of Engineering classes have less than 20 students. Here's how one student sums it up: "I have been blown away by the care and concern evidenced by the professors at UNM towards their students. My engineering professors at UNM were available to answer my questions, in and outside of office hours, and also through email. They spent as much time as I needed, sometimes over a half an hour on a problem, to help me understand difficult concepts."
