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.
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.
