Dr. Cindy Lee - Chair
Cindy Lee joined Clemson University as a Professor of Environmental Engineering and Science in 1990. She has participated in research and education, primarily in the chemistry of environmentally significant organic compounds. Her specific research interests involve the fate and transport of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), especially polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); pesticides; and petroleum. Lee and her research group use enantioselective chromatography to understand the transformations and transport of chiral contaminants through soil, sediments, water, and biota. Prior to joining Clemson, she graduated with her Ph.D. from the Colorado School of Mines.

Department Directory
The Department of Engineering and Science Education (ESED) at Clemson University was established in 2006, and our Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education was established in 2011. In that short time, the young, dynamic ESED department has experienced outstanding success, boasting three faculty NSF CAREER award winners and two NSF Graduate Research Fellowships (among the first awarded in the area of STEM Education).
Several professional organizations have recognized our faculty and their research: an AAAS Fellowship (2012-13), an election to the APS executive committee of the Forum on Education (2013), the Helen Plant Award for the Best Non-traditional Workshop by ASEE/IEEE in 2008 and again 2014, the Class of '39 Award in 2019, the highest distinction for a faculty member at Clemson, Fellows of the American Society of Engineering Education in 2019. Since the start of the Certificate in Engineering and Science Education, more than 35 graduate students have leveraged their certificates to compete successfully for faculty positions in engineering and science. On average, it is the most active certificate program in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences at Clemson.
