From the Dean

Welcome to the spring/summer issue of the NC State Engineering magazine. This issue celebrates the launch of Think and Do the Extraordinary, The Campaign for NC State. Launched during the 2016 Homecoming Weekend, this capital campaign is critical for the future success of our College and University. Without the support of our alumni and friends, NC State and the College of Engineering cannot continue to provide the highest quality education and research environment for our students and faculty.
