Celebrating Innovation, Collaboration and Impact

NC State’s College of Engineering has long participated in the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Conference.

This year, we’re excited to welcome you to the Wolfpack’s home state, as we head just a few hours from our campus to the ASEE 2026 Annual Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. This year’s theme is Engineering Education-Where Legends Take Flight and Innovation Races Forward and we’re excited to bring NC State’s expertise to peers from across the country. 

We hope to see you there and invite you to connect with fellow engineering educators at NC State University’s ASEE Reception! We’re gathering for beverages and hors d’oeuvres at the NASCAR Hall of Fame across the street from the conference venue.

Date: Monday, June 22
Time: 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Location: NASCAR Hall of Fame, 400 East Martin Luther King Jr Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28202
