Welcome | About MSE

 

The School of Materials Science and Engineering is one of the most exciting and dynamic units in the Clemson University system and enjoys the University's full support. The University is investing $ 70 million over five years to develop an advanced materials industry cluster. The linchpin is a $ 21 million Advanced Materials Research facility, anchored by the nation's top optical materials laboratories and coupled with a state-of-the-art electron microscopy facility. The 111,000 square foot facility opened in 2005. In addition, two ($10 million and $8 million) endowed faculty positions in optical fiber and advanced fiber-based materials, respectively, will bring the brightest faculty in the field to the University. Currently, 18 full time tenured or tenure-track faculty carry out teaching and research in the School’s Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Polymer and Fiber Chemistry (PFC) and Textile Management (TM) undergraduate programs. Additionally, the School offers graduate programs in MSE and Polymer Fiber Science (PFS). The present faculty is largely tenured associate or full professors, with two tenure-track faculty at various stages of progression towards tenure, 15 Research Associates/Professor and Adjunct Professor. This year, the School has welcomed it’s first Distinguished Visiting Professor who will occupy a part time position. We have 16 emeritus faculty affiliated with the School of which 5 carry out varying levels of activity within the School. In addition, 14 administrative and technical staff members support faculty and students of the school.
