If you want to get in the automotive industry the connections are definitely there at NC State. The main reason being Nascar is right down the road. They heavily recruit from Clemson and NC State which have 2 of the top Auto programs in the area. Clemson specifically being a top 10 auto program due to their International Center For Automotive Research but NC State is really not far behind. You mention some other great colleges you are interested in. I’m sure as long as you do your part you can go to any of them and become sucessful. They just wouldn’t have the connections to the industry like NC State has since it’s right in it’s backyard.

Here is a list of the last job fair if you want to take a look at what companies come and recruit on their campus. They had 372 companies attend! That to me is VERY impressive.
