Welcome to the NC State Engineering Foundation

The NC State Engineering Foundation, Inc. (NCSEF) works with alumni, friends, corporations and foundations to secure support that is vital for the continued improvement of the College of Engineering. Gifts support scholarships, fellowships, professorships, academic programs, faculty research, and other initiatives that are not typically supported through state appropriations.

We invite you to make an investment in NC State Engineering and its people. Already a leading college of engineering in the nation, NC State Engineering is poised and well-positioned to reach greater levels of achievement and recognition. Participating in our shared, unlimited future honors the support and philanthropy that have lifted the College to its current position.

To learn more about ways you can invest in and connect with the College, please take a moment to browse the Foundation Web site. Our "Alumni & Friends" section details the increasing number of ways that alumni can interact with the College. The Walk to Page Hallsection for Corporations provides information for corporations that wish to connect with NC State Engineering students and faculty.

We hope you will find this information helpful in understanding the importance of philanthropy in fulfilling the mission and vision of the College, and in determining how your support can best make an impact.

Dean's Message

“One of our top priorities is to become one of the foremost leaders in engineering education, research and extension. To achieve this goal, we face major challenges, such as substantially increasing the number of outstanding faculty, doubling our PhD production and research activity, and creating even more opportunities for the growth and development of our undergraduate students. To accomplish this, we clearly need the support of all of our alumni, friends, students, faculty, staff, and constituents. Together, we can build upon our already strong foundation as we move into an exciting new era for the College of Engineering at NC State University.”

— Louis A. Martin-Vega, Ph.D., P.E.
