Alum Greg Beckwith knows how to balance school, work and family life. His journey to an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering was unconventional, but it provided him with the skills he uses today at Michelin.
Fabio Matta’s next-generation building materials include fiber-reinforced plastic bars — essentially, glass fibers immersed in a strong polymeric resin. They are stronger than steel, don’t corrode and are lighter than traditional materials — all qualities that make them ideal for bridge and infrastructure rehabilitation.
For centuries, the "paradox of strength and ductility" has challenged material scientists: making a metal stronger typically makes it brittle and prone to fracture.
A group of University of South Carolina students has planned and organized TEDxCongaree Vista, featuring speakers whose topics are likely to spark conversation and inspire action.
