Cleaner energy. Faster computers. Stronger buildings. Sleeker machines. Healthier lives.

Researchers in the College of Engineering are finding cutting-edge solutions to real-world problems. With more than 20 research centers, institutes and labs, NC State engineers are shaping our future.

Want results? In 2007-08, our annual research expenditures exceeded $109 million. The College ranks 17th in the nation in research expenditures and 14th in the nation in industry support, among all engineering colleges according to the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) in 2007. Much of the work is done on Centennial Campus, which was named the top Research Science Park of the year by the Association of University Research Parks (AURP) for 2007.

Behind it all are the people. Nearly 80 faculty members have received Presidential and National Science Foundation recognitions for achievement. And with 18 bachelor's, 17 master's, and 13 doctoral degree programs, the College gives students plenty of on-the-job training so they can put those degrees to work.

Below is a list of the College's centers, institutes and laboratories.
