College of Engineering Mourns Loss of Dean Emeritus

Dr. Nino A. Masnari, distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering and dean emeritus of the College of Engineering at NC State, passed away May 19. His long list of academic and leadership accomplishments included increasing philanthropic support for the college, and Masnari and his wife, Judy, also endowed a scholarship for engineering undergraduates. In 2006 the college named the main entrance to the engineering building cluster on Centennial Campus the Nino A. Masnari Engineering Gateway in recognition of “his many contributions to educational and research program development ... and for vision and leadership in moving the College of Engineering to Centennial Campus.”

Breaking New Ground on Centennial Campus

In late February, contractors began site work for Engineering Building Oval, the College of Engineering’s newest academic and research building, scheduled to open in June 2020. The future home of the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and the dean’s administration is the next step in the unification of the college on Centennial Campus. The facility also represents a first-of-its-kind infrastructure project for NC State, using a unique public-private partnership.
