SCHEDULE A TOUR OR VIRTUAL VISIT
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 WCU College of Engineering and Technology. Tours are led by our very own students who can share their experiences with you. To schedule an in-person college tour, online Zoom meeting with one of our student ambassadors or just have a question, email engineering@wcu.edu. College tours often take place on Fridays and and also during WCU Open House events.
Meet Our Student Ambassadors
Alex B.
Major: Engineering Technology | Hometown: Leesburg, FL
Why WCU: I chose WCU for the small class sizes and ability for undergraduates to be involved
in research and school projects.
My Experience: During my time at WCU, 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 WCU’s College of Engineering and Technology.
Tanner D.
Major: Construction Management | Hometown: Jacksonville, NC
Why WCU: WCU has one of the most beneficial programs around. Their relations with the community
and industry made me feel right at home.
My Experience: The family atmosphere at Western is by far what sets us apart. Everyone on campus
from administrators to students cares about each other and will help any way they
can.
Student Life: Around western is A LOT of nature. Picking this school has led me to love hiking
the outdoors and exploring landmarks around.
Josh M.
Major: Mechanical Engineering | Hometown: Hendersonville, NC
Why WCU: I chose WCU because it was close to home, and and I chose engineering because I found
myself wanting to understand how machines are made and designed.
My Experience: I love WCU because of the student-to-teacher ratio. The teachers know the students'
names and actually care about their success.
