 The following is a production of New Mexico State University. Human nutrition classes using computerized diet analysis have come a long way from the early cooking classes taught at the turn of the century at New Mexico State University. The home economics curriculum at what was then called the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts reflected the times with classes in special dressmaking, millinery and art needle work. As a crisis years of the Depression and World War II changed society, the curriculum also changed to stress family care, food preservation and nutrition. In 1953, New Mexico State University established the innovative O'Loughlin House, a live-in laboratory giving students first-hand the experience of home management. Today, home economics has expanded to include consumerism, fashion design and even restaurant management. For the early years, I'm Carla Aragón.
