We are in the RDU area, which is booming as is the CLT area. So, NCSU and UNCC are basically 1-2 for my son. I am not sure if he will get into NCSU because he is not a very high stat kid. UNCC is a definite match.

For civil engineering, there is also NC A&T as well as NCSU and UNCC among public universities in North Carolina. The only other school in the state with civil engineering is Duke. See https://amspub.abet.org/aps/category-search?disciplines=15&countries=US&states=NC .

Be aware that NCSU has competitive secondary admission to major after entering as engineering-first-year.
