In our labs

It’s a sound that may be familiar to students attending class in Engineering Building III (EB III) on NC State’s Centennial Campus — a roar that’s reminiscent of a commercial jet preparing for takeoff. In reality, it is the sound of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering’s supersonic wind tunnel, located in an annex building on the back side of EB III. The building is also home to a closed-loop subsonic wind tunnel operated by the department.

From the Dean

Welcome to the spring 2019 issue of NC State Engineering magazine. While our engineering departments still provide the underlying framework of our College, increasingly, the practice of engineering and engineering education is driven as much or more by cross-cutting societal challenges and the solutions they need, as it is by traditional engineering disciplines. This reality  has made interdisciplinary work a focus of engineering education and research at NC State.
