Nice arms that I’d never seen before, for the North Carolina State University Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, from their webpage:

A little hard to see, but I assume that since the NC State nickname is "Wolfpack" the two animal heads in chief are wolves. So "Argent on a chevron Gules five lozenges of the field, on a chief embattled Gules two wolves’ heads Argent."

 

 

(edited based on seeing the image a little bigger on a different computer)

That is one I didn’t find.  Thanks.  Did you see others from NC State U?

No; I looked around a little, but probably not exhaustively.

The only way the blazon might be improved is by mentioning that the two heads are couped.

Take another look at the blazon I posted.
