To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Course Advisor has created its Best Value General Engineering Technology Schools in North Carolina ranking.

Our ranking of value is based on the quality of a program as defined in our per sticker price dollar. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.
