In 1999, North Carolina State University (NC State) ranked among the nation's leading universities in the number of baccalaureate degrees in engineering and computer science awarded to women. Currently, women comprise about 20% of NC State's undergraduate engineering enrollment of 5,097. More than 700 minority students are enrolled in the undergraduate engineering and computer science program. Programmatic efforts responsible for NC State's success begin with elementary and middle school visits designed to encourage children to view mathematics and science as fun disciplines for which they have ability. These visits continue through high school with more overt recruiting. A weeklong campus residential program exposes high school students to engineering and computer sciences. Summer and early freshman year experiences are offered to bridge high school to college and to foster student acclimation and maturation. Undergraduates are enrolled in a student mentoring program and, as upperclassmen, become eligible to participate in research activities.

1999年，北卡罗莱纳州立大学（NC State）在授予女性工程和计算机科学学士学位的数量上名列全国领先的大学之列。目前，北卡罗来纳州立大学工程专业本科招生人数为5097人，其中女性约占20%。700多名少数民族学生就读于工程和计算机科学本科课程。北卡州立大学的成功始于小学和中学的访问，旨在鼓励孩子们将数学和科学视为他们有能力的有趣学科。这种拜访一直持续到高中，并且更加公开地进行招募。一个为期一周的校园住宿项目让高中生接触到工程和计算机科学。夏季和大一早期的经验提供桥梁高中到大学和促进学生适应和成熟。本科生参加了一个学生指导计划，作为高年级学生，有资格参加研究活动。
