Girl Scouts Engineering Day at Clemson is designed help to spark a STEM interest in girls. It gives them the chance to participate in a variety of engineering projects and experiments alongside Clemson faculty, students, and industry sponsor’s. They learned about mechanical engineering, with the help of ME’s Dr. John Wagner, by operating remote-controlled cars with various […]

Dr. Mohammed Daqaq will be on sabbatical from January 2015 to January 2016. He will be primarily with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Munich, and will also be visiting the University of Roma and several more universities across Europe. His research group is among the first and few in the world that explores the role of […]

Clemson University professors Richard Figliola and Ethan Kung work on new engineering technologies to perform “virtual vascular surgeries” on patients to help predict surgical outcomes and make surgical decisions before a patient actually goes under the knife. Work they are conducting can mimic a patient’s anatomical geometries as well as overall physiology in order to […]

Congratulations to Dr. Yue Wang! She has won the prestigious NSF CAREER Award this year, for her project “Cooperative Control and Decision-Making for Human-Agent Collaborative Teams” This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program grant addresses control and decision-making for human-robot collaborative teams. The project has two main research thrusts. The first thrust examines a team […]
