| A
big advantage of attending a major research university as an undergraduate
is the opportunity to collaborate with faculty and graduate students
on exciting research projects and industry partnerships. The college
regularly partners with businesses, government agencies and industries
to discover practical solutions to real-world problems. Students
become valuable team members in research groups that are tackling
economic, ethical and environmental issues.
With
more than $100 million in sponsored research support annually,
Clemson is one of the National Science Foundation’s top-100
research universities. Research in the College of Engineering
and Science alone attracts more than $50 million annually in competitively
sponsored grants. As a result, Clemson houses some of the most
sophisticated research centers, laboratory facilities and testing
instrumentation in the Southeast.
Research
Experiences for Undergraduates
The
College of Optics at the Univeristy of Central Florida,
in coordination with Clemson University, will run a National Science
Foundation sponsored program of Research Experiences for Undergraduates
(REU) during the summer of 2009. During this time, 2 students
from this program will carryout internships at COMSET within the
School of Materials Science & Engineering summer program series.

The
Center for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films Research
Experiences for Undergraduates program places promising students
on interdisciplinary teams in the Center, which is located on
the Clemson University campus. During the program students work
on projects that integrate all aspects of fiber and film system.
Students participate in activities that heighten their appreciation
of the challenges of fiber and film study and sharpen problem-solving,
critical thinking, research management, and communication skills.
