This project will be the research and development engine for the CAAV5 Conference, Oct. 14-17, 2020. Working with the Watt Family Innovation Center, we will develop and deliver a fully online conference including a student organized Hack-a-thon. Learning will encompass how we move from in-person content delivery to online/digital and virtual public space. There is the potential for various social and behavioral research projects related to this project. We plan to work with an industry partner, Mozilla.

This project will cover the design and development of medical devices capable of production by small industry. Design challenges including PPEs and a breathing apparatus for medical disasters. Building on work started in Spring 2020 in the School of Architecture we will extend the design, development, and testing of protective devices for medical personnel and first responders. We will seek to produce FDA approved designs and design improvements for existing devices and develop new designs. We will work with CURF to secure necessary forms to manage any technology transfer issues.

It’s a selfless sentiment seen time and again among the Clemson community since the COVID-19 crisis began. At the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities (CAAH), a group of research professors, graduate students and 2020 graduates took 18 3D printers normally used to make scale models and repurposed them to make face shields. Led by Winifred Newman, director of the Clemson University Institute for Intelligent Materials, Systems and Environments (CU-iMSE), and Shan Sutherland, lecturer and manager of the Digital Design Studio and Materials Lab, the group set up five workspaces scattered far apart in the 55,000-square-foot Lee Hall to ensure social distancing and safety.

Prototype Sim(PLY) houses have been built and tested in South Carolina. Now, the system is set to debut commercially in British Columbia as part of an effort to build affordable housing for teachers, nurses, police and firefighters.

The College/Underserved Community Partnership Program (CUPP) is a federal program that connects the intellectual strengths of College faculty, staff, and students with small or underserved communities. Project ideas are generated by community leaders, and CUPP personnel from branches of the federal government help to connect the projects to University people who may want to address the identified needs. Clemson campus engages in high-impact practices – research, service-learning, project-based curricula – with our graduate and undergraduate students. Faculty and professional staff and students are welcome to think creatively about how the community needs may fit with our educational priorities. Many projects are highly applicable for cross-College collaboration. If you are interested in learning more about any of these project ideas and to get started with community leaders, please contact Associate Dean Dr. Bridget Trogden, Trogden@Clemson.edu.
