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…
Clemson University is strengthening its ability to conduct research and offer courses in artificial intelligence, a fast-rising technology that is beginning to revolutionize industries ranging from advanced manufacturing to healthcare. About 80 faculty members are banding together to launch the new Clemson Artificial Intelligence Research Institute for…
The world can expect more rainfall as the climate changes, but it can also expect more water to evaporate, complicating efforts to manage reservoirs and irrigate crops in a growing world, according to a Clemson University researcher whose latest work has been published in the journal Nature…
Clemson University students and faculty have always known “there’s something in these hills,” and now the rest of the world is starting to understand, too. Clemson was cited alongside some of the nation’s most elite universities in “10 Innovative Engineering Institutes,” an article in Mechanical Engineering, the…
The long-term future of South Carolina’s advanced manufacturing workforce is coming sharply into focus over the next month as students across the state join a competition that could win them a tour of Clemson University’s research facilities. The Clemson University Center for Advanced Manufacturing has challenged students…
Two Clemson University freshmen are thinking outside the box– and shining a light inside it– to combat COVID-19 at the grocery store. Carleigh Coffin and Ashlyn Soule said they are designing a device that would be located at supermarket checkout lanes. Groceries would be placed on the…
Researchers have developed a new way of simulating heart attacks in a lab and then using the engineered tissue to screen drugs that show promise for treating patients with heart damage, according to a new article in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering. Corresponding author Ying Mei, an…
Move over R2-D2, because here comes UR5. The Star Wars droid is make-believe, but UR5 is a real-life robot in Yue “Sophie” Wang’s lab at Clemson University. She and her team are using the UR5 robotic arm and its mobile base to research how robots and people…
Two mornings a week, Fadi Abdeljawad of Clemson University goes into a nook just off his kitchen, stands in front of his open laptop and teaches a mechanical engineering course to about 30 students who are scattered across the country because of the COVID-19 outbreak. One wall…
Maybe the photo shows you in a bar, and your friends from church just wouldn’t understand. Or maybe the picture of you suntanning at the beach reveals a little more skin than you would like your co-workers to see. Billions of photos have been posted to social…
