Graduate students in the College of Engineering
Graduate students in the College of Engineering play key roles in the important work that takes place in our departments and more than 20 centers, institutes and labs, including two active National Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers — ASSIST and FREEDM.
They closely interact with our award-winning faculty members who stand among the best in the nation — 3 National Medal of Technology and Innovation recipients, 18 National Academy of Engineering members and 2 Directors of National Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers.
They work and study in the state-of-the-art James B. Hunt Jr. Library on Centennial Campus; gain valuable experience through teaching assistantships; and connect with future employers at the NC State Engineering Career Fair, one of the largest events of its kind in the nation. After graduation, our students go on to top-notch positions in industry, academia and research laboratories.
