ME at Clemson University
Welcome
Mechanical Engineering is arguably the broadest engineering degree, one that emphasizes the fundamental engineering sciences as they apply to mechanical and thermal systems with applications in diverse areas including energy, materials, transportation (automotive, aerospace, marine...), health, manufacturing, and consumer products. The Mechanical Engineering BS is often the basis for advanced degrees in ME or in various engineering fields (bio-, environmental, industrial, systems, automotive, aeronautical, nuclear, ...) or also in other professions (law, medicine) and in business.
The Clemson University ME department has significant strengths in the theoretical and applied, computational and experimental areas of mechanical engineering and in many interdisciplinary areas. Our faculty is very active and well known for its research and scholarly contributions in the fluids and energy areas, in the Nano- and MEMS areas, in design, in manufacturing, in mechanics and in bio-technology.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at Clemson University is one of the largest degree granting academic programs in the state of South Carolina with over 600 undergraduates (sophomore through senior) and around 90 MS and 60 PhD students (Fall of 2011). The department typically graduates between 150 and 200 undergraduates, 30 - 50 MS and 10-20 Ph.D. per year.

Seminar Series
The Department of Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series consists of exceptional speakers whose research span the range of the Mechanical Engineering discipline. Through this series we seek to expose our faculty, graduate students and undergraduate researchers to a spectrum of topics in areas both similar to and complementary to those areas investigated within the department. Below is a list of speakers slated for the upcoming semester as well as speakers from previous semesters. For more information, contact: Dr. Ardalan Vahidi at (864) 656.4718 or avahidi@clemson.edu.
