Whether you are looking to earn an undergraduate degree or are planning for an advanced degree, we have you covered. Build your future and help make the world a better place at the College of Engineering at NC State.
The college’s total research expenditures in 2023-24, a key measure of overall research activity, consistently places it among the top schools in the U.S.
“Th[e] culture of collaboration and shared learning really defines [NC State]…, and it’s made a big impact on how I see engineering — not just as a technical field, but as something built on community.”
Researchers are pioneering innovative sensor technologies and AI algorithms to transform guide dog training and selection processes to better meet the need for more guide dogs.

Applications are now open for the Campus As A Classroom sustainable student internships. This interdisciplinary, year-long program offers paid opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students to advance sustainability through impactful, hands-on work with campus departments.
“Travel gives you a global perspective you can’t get otherwise. No matter where you are in the world, we’re all just trying to get along in life, eat good food and be with loved ones. I’ve been to Russia, China, parts of Asia and all throughout Europe, and —governments and ideologies aside — people are pretty much the same everywhere. That was an eye-opening experience for me.”
Alumni Adam Elhammoumi and Jess Nguyen started an endowed scholarship fund to send paper science and engineering students abroad.
670 million microplastics flow into the Pamlico Sound from the Neuse River Basin each year.
NC State Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering researchers found an innovative approach that relies on something called soft dendritic colloids. The cleansing particles’ sticky nature allows them to attract and cling to microplastics — even in the wet, salty conditions of seawater.
The cleansing particles descend naturally, picking up more and more microplastics as they go down. But how do they return to the surface? The microcleaners also contain a bit of magnesium, which reacts with water to make them bubble up.
Their research paper showed that the cleansing particles can “swim” and collect microplastics for up to half an hour.
“There’s a quote that ‘To whom much is given, much will be required.’ I think as student-athletes, we’re given a lot. A lot of people care about us, and we’re given all of these resources. So we have to do our part to give back to the community as well, to give back to our peers, to give back to those who are going to be the next generation as student-athletes.” — Caden Tolentino
Caden’s one member of the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes. They provide mental health support to their peers, organize volunteer opportunities and advocate for protections for student-athletes.
Which would you choose: clean air or clean water? New research shows that the payoffs for choosing clean water outweigh the risks. Learn more at the 🔗 in our bio.
