Among the many things that Covid-19 taught us, one thing is that there isn’t anything that we won’t try with Zoom. We held virtual award and graduation ceremonies, virtual social events, online meet and greet hours for incoming sophomores to meet faculty and staff. Is it ideal or easy? The short answer is no. But, […]

Laura Redmond1, Atul Kelkar1, Cameron Turner1, John Wagner1, Yue Wang1 and Matt Castanier2 1Clemson University, 2U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC To facilitate rapid virtual prototyping of autonomy-enabled ground vehicles, validation and verification (V&V) processes must be created that ensure the accuracy and suitability of rapidly deployable computer models through digital and physical datasets. In addition, the […]

Automotive autonomy technology is changing economies and global industries — and is also a driving force behind military modernization. Bringing these self-driving vehicles to life on- and off-road requires new concepts and algorithms to be tested expeditiously and cost-effectively — all of which happen through virtual prototyping. Assistant Professor, Dr. Laura Redmond is heading up […]

Congratulations to Dr. Naser co-author of Structural Fire Engineering. This hands-on guide clearly explains the complex building codes and standards that relate to fire design and presents hands-on techniques engineers can apply to prevent or mitigate the effects of fire in structures. Dedicated chapters discuss specific procedures for steel, concrete, and timber buildings. You will […]
