Thanks to everyone who came to the December Graduate Reception sponsored by the Jansen Family Scholars. Graduates and their friends and family were able to have time to mingle and celebrate their accomplishment in the beautiful setting of Kresge Hall at the outdoor lab. Thanks to Dr. Mocko and his team for putting together such […]

Clemson ME Graduate Steven Fredericks has a new position at University of Minnesota where he is leading a research team droplet spray in crop fields. The lab recently acquired a new low-speed subsonic wind tunnel in a gift from WinField United, a leader in the field of agriculture. The wind tunnel is used in simulating […]

Over 650 elementary school students from local schools visited the department today to learn about science and experimentation, specifically with wind tunnels. Teams from ME 4010 built their wind tunnels then gave demonstrations today for the children. They learned about the physics of how the wind tunnels worked, how they were built and how they […]

Dr. Cameron Turner’s ME 8700 class held an end-of-semester robot soccer tournament today on the second floor of the Fluor Daniel Building. 48 students were divided into teams of three to build robots that could play soccer with a ping pong ball. Four robots would then be assigned to each soccer team. Each robot was […]

Congratulations to Dr. John Saylor who had a reply to an Op Ed piece published in the New York Times. Read the article.  

Congratulations to Jennifer Brown for receiving the Joanne Frances Prien Memorial Scholarship from the Georgia Engineering Foundation (GEF) this fall. Mrs. Brown is currently a PhD student in mechanical engineering.   Comprised of nine professional engineering societies and four associate member organizations, GEF awarded over $80,000 this year to 45 outstanding young engineers from across […]

Mechanical Engineering Honors Students Mikayla Bridges, Nathaniel Brown, Tristan Woods, Michael Ferguson, Cormac Kelly and Jeremy Davis presented posters on their research in the atrium of Fluor Daniel. The posters will be displayed for several days for those who wish to view them and learn more about the research being done in ME. 

On Tuesday, November 20th three Mechanical Engineering Students spoke to Dr. Schweisinger’s class about their Study Abroad experiences. Students were then given an opportunity to ask question and learn more about their personal experiences and travels. Matt Fleck spoke of his experiences in Esslingen, Germany where he studied in an automotive engineering program. Owen Skonecki, […]
