You don't pick an engineering school based on an ad from social media.

You walk the halls, meet the people, and feel it.

That's what future #NinerEngineers and their families did at our first Admitted Students Day this semester.

[UNC Charlotte College of Engineering @CLT_Engineering]

Check out what the community is getting behind - preserving a piece of racing history!

Thanks to the Foundation of the Carolinas for helping keep Kulwicki's love of engineering and his championship car front and center.

Nobody nails their first interview — unless they've already done it.

That's why #NinerEngineers practice with industry pros and get honest feedback before the stakes are high.
