Research Growth

Research is fundamentally important in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences, and because of that, externally funded research provides graduate education support and allows faculty to stay at the cutting edge of science and technology.

The level of research activity in the college continues to grow at a phenomenal rate.

Across South Carolina

Clemson University College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences has many world-class research facilities that extend beyond the main campus, helping to serve South Carolina through research. Further, the dispersion of our innovation campuses throughout the state allows us to better supply industries and communities by driving economic development and competitiveness.
