When you visit Western Carolina University here in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina, we invite you to schedule a full campus tour and request a personal tour of the 91Èȱ¬Íø College of Engineering and Technology. Tours are led by our very own students who can share their experiences with you. For help with scheduling an in-person college tour, online Zoom meeting with one of our student ambassadors or if you just have a question, email engineering@wcu.edu. Our student-led college tours take place most spring Fridays and other times upon request. Tours of the college are also offered during 91Èȱ¬Íø Open House events.

Why 91Èȱ¬Íø: I chose 91Èȱ¬Íø because I fell in love with the Engineering Program. It was very close to home and extremely affordable.

Why Engineering Technology: I love to do anything with a hands-on environment, I loved Legos and building things and taking things apart when I was young (and still do to this day).

What I Enjoy Most: The people within our university and specifically our program. I have made some life long friends here!

Why 91Èȱ¬Íø:  I chose 91Èȱ¬Íø for the small class sizes and ability for undergraduates to be involved in research and school projects.

My Experience: During my time at 91Èȱ¬Íø, I was involved in the casting of the Tau Alpha Pi honors society monument, and I was the first student to be trained on the SPOT robot. I don’t believe I would have had these opportunities at another college, and I am very happy to be a part of 91Èȱ¬Íøâ€™s College of Engineering and Technology.

Why 91Èȱ¬Íø:  91Èȱ¬Íø has one of the most beneficial programs around. Their relations with the community and industry made me feel right at home.

Student Life: Around western is A LOT of nature. Picking this school has led me to love hiking the outdoors and exploring landmarks around.
