In more recent times there has been the Office of Extension and Engagement, which became the Office of Extension, Engagement and Economic Development in 2005. A unit within the office has been the McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education, which opened in 1976.

The North Carolina State University Office of Extension, Engagement and Economic Development (EEED), before 2005 known as the Office of Extension and Engagement, provides leadership and vision for University partnerships with external communities in the land-grant tradition. Separate from the Agricultural Extension Service (later the Cooperative Extension Services), a Division of Extension existed at North Carolina State College (later University) as far back as 1924.

The EEED was mandated to stimulate faculty to address the needs of the citizens of North Carolina and the larger community. To do this, the EEED issued grants meant to encourage faculty and staff to initiate new and innovative programs focuesed on business, industry, government and societal problems and opportunities as well as develop collaborative partnerships between other colleges.

NCSU Extension is the public face of the university. The university remains relevant to the people of the state by taking knowledge created at the university to citizens of the state through a system of educational programs and technical assistance. The EEED also encourages the professional development of NCSU faculty through the issuance of research grants.
