Interim Department Chair
Welcome Welcome to the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at Clemson University. The ME Department at Clemson is well recognized internationally for its excellence in engineering education and scholarship. We are one of the largest academic departments in South Carolina and a significant source of engineering graduates for the nation. Our faculty are proud of their significant contributions to the development of knowledge and educational innovations in mechanical engineering. They are a dedicated group of engineering professionals. The department has undergone substantial changes in the past several decades, but we remain committed to continued improvement in our educational process, excellence in engineering research and our service to society. In the ME Department, you will find a balance between the Clemson tradition of excellence with a spirit of entrepreneurship in both education and research. Our curriculum is periodically revised to keep it relevant to the profession and the need for lifelong learning. Funded research activities maintain us at the cutting edge in various fields including automotive engineering, mechanical and manufacturing systems, engineering mechanics, and thermo/fluid sciences. We offer fully accredited academic programs leading to Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in mechanical engineering and M.S. and Ph.D. in automotive engineering. Our graduates of these programs are highly marketable. We prepare our students to become technical leaders who can function as valuable, productive and responsible members of society. Our graduate research programs span a broad and diverse range of topics. The ME Department is made up
of 34 tenured/tenure track faculty, 3 emeritus faculty, and 5 visiting faculty. We have 483 (sophomore through senior year) undergraduate
students, 204 graduate students, and 12 technical and administrative
support staff. In a typical year, we award 150 B.S., 39 M.S.,
and 7 Ph.D. engineering degrees. Donald Beasley |
