Summer 2008 — Vol. 61, No. 3

Open for business

When BMW unveiled its new X6 Sports Activity Coupe earlier this year, it shined its good news on Clemson’s Carroll A. Campbell Jr. Graduate Engineering Center at CU-ICAR (Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research).

The Campbell Center, which opened last fall, features state-of-the-art research, testing and educational facilities in an environment that allows students and faculty to interact daily with industry researchers.

CU-ICAR is a new model for economic development in South Carolina, matching Clemson’s strengths in automotive engineering with the state’s vibrant automotive economic cluster including BMW, Michelin, Timken and other industry leaders.

Look for the latest on CU-ICAR in the fall/Nov. 2008 issue of Clemson World.
