Course Details

Exploring Engineering

Exploring Engineering is a course developed through partnership with the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics, Clemson University General Engineering and the Clemson University Center for Workforce Development. It is designed to expose students to the many engineering disciplines and the opportunities available for students in each program at Clemson. As students work through each module’s content, they will learn about the each department and their programs, what they’ll study in a particular major, facilities that house each program, research opportunities available to undergraduate students, career opportunities in each program and resources on how to get involved. Along with course content, periodic assessments will help students examine what they have learned.
