Future Students
Economic challenges and environmental needs. Security concerns and medical dilemmas. Structural complexities and design complications. Cities, states, nations—the entire global community—face ever-increasing demands for new scientific knowledge and sophisticated technologies. The world needs engineers.
The world needs you.
NC State Engineering draws bright and curious students from diverse backgrounds who share a desire to address society's engineering and technological needs. Our students are grounded in math, science and engineering principles complemented by humanities, arts and social studies. We guide them toward specializations and inspire them to solve tough problems with skill, ingenuity and resourcefulness.
At NC State the integration of research and education is the cornerstone of our engineering curricula. Our undergraduate students work alongside graduate students and faculty researchers conducting groundbreaking research in fields such as bioengineering, nanotechnology, energy and environmental systems, information and communications technology, critical infrastructure, transportation and logistics, advanced materials and manufacturing, robotics and sensor technology and service sector engineering.
The College has engineering degree programs in nine academic departments, three affiliated departments in other colleges, the Integrated Manufacturing Systems Engineering Institute and the Operations Research Program. We offer 18 bachelor's (B.S.), 17 master's (M.S.) and 13 doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees and provide opportunities for research, including interdisciplinary research, at both graduate and undergraduate levels.
Outside the classroom there are scholarship and other enrichment opportunities for students, including student organizations.
For students who are unable to come to campus, our Engineering Online program offers eight engineering graduate degree programs, as well as certificate programs and the site-based 2+2 program for undergraduates looking for an engineering degree but attending another institution.
We also offer pre-college K-20 programs that allow students of all ages to experience the excitement of engineering firsthand.
