Terry Forliti helps sex-trafficking survivors find a different life, but she knows what it’s like to be on the other side, caught in a spell of addiction, homelessness and enslavement while grasping the bars of a jail cell. Forliti, sober since 2008 and now the executive director…
As a youth growing up in southern Maryland, Oliver Myers would lose himself in science fiction and wonder if he could build an X-wing fighter or create a force field like the one that protected the U.S.S. Enterprise. Wysheka Austin was a student at Easley High School…
Top researchers from across the country are developing new technology to control an unusual property of light that could make it possible to channel through fog, murky water and thermal turbulence, potentially leading to new ways of communicating and gathering data. The research brings together researchers from…
A new Clemson University lab that researchers are calling “a cutting-edge solution to help fight COVID-19” could be stocked with 13 sample-handling robots and have a staff of about 50 students fully trained as early as November. The COVID-19 Clinical Diagnostics Lab started off by testing the saliva of athletes and Tiger Band members and […]
With $4 million in funding from the National Science Foundation, a new project called A2 proposes to build on the success of Clemson University’s Center for Aviation and Automotive Technological Education using Virtual E-Schools (CA2VES). CA2VES launched in 2012 to create and deliver accessible e-learning material for a nationwide audience to support aviation and automotive technological education. […]
Employers can soon expect more Clemson University engineering graduates to enter the workforce with advanced language and culture skills that will set them up for success in international businesses, a cornerstone of South Carolina’s economy. A new collaborative initiative, “Engineering + Language,” is expected to prepare engineering…
In an August 7 post, we highlighted the connection between South Carolina industry and in their senior capstone course. ABB, a global leader in electrification, robotics, automation, and motion, is a regular partner with Clemson Mechanical Engineering capstone via their Mechanical Power Transmission (MOPT) group based in…

Srikanth Pilla spends his days collaborating with some of the world’s most well-known car companies. But the prolific researcher and automotive engineering professor didn’t actually drive until he was 21 years old — shortly after he’d left India and moved to the U.S. to pursue his master’s…
Clemson University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering partners with South Carolina industry in many ways. One very active way is in the final “capstone” undergraduate course that every senior takes. Students must demonstrate mastery of the engineering design process by proposing solutions to real, current topics. And where…
