Virginia Tech College of Engineering graduate from NC State or Clemson College of Engineering graduate at least that is how it is in the Carolinas. We may think we are special but employers see us all as coming from good schools. As a VT Engineering graduate myself, in many instances, I find the Clemson and NC State Engineers more personable and easy to work with probably because I grew up in Western Virginia and not NOVA. In last 25 years, I also have hired more NC State people than any other college and they have all been very good to excellent and I have found a few Virginia Tech grads to have personalities similar to a computer chip.
