WHEELING Bluefield State College President Robin Capehart on Tuesday said the college is looking to fill a “critical” need for engineering technology programs in West Virginia’s Northern Panhandle, and bringing a proposed Engineering and Manufacturing Center to a former hospital campus in Wheeling will do just that.
Capehart met with Wheeling city officials Tuesday during city council’s first meeting of 2021.
