Automation Engineering Corporation grants
first CU-ICAR graduate fellowship
Automation Engineering Corporation and Clemson University announced
recently the first Endowed Graduate Fellowship in the Center for
Automotive Design and Development at the Clemson University International
Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR).
 The
endowment of $100,000 will support graduate students working toward
degrees at the new Carroll A. Campbell Jr. Graduate Engineering
Center on the CU-ICAR campus in Greenville.
Automation Engineering’s gift is the first with the sole purpose
of benefiting students working on their two-year Master of Science
graduate degrees. “To be able to contribute to the education
of the brightest engineering students in the country was something
we could not pass up,” said Gary Foster, Automation Engineering’s
president.
AEC’s commitment of $100,000 will be matched by the State
of South Carolina, under legislation establishing the Research Centers
of Economic Excellence, to generate a total of $200,000 in endowment
funds.
The Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research
is a 250-acre research campus in Greenville, with public and private
partners working with the university to develop the technologies,
processes and workforce of the future.
