Using structural health monitoring technology, Giurgiutiu, Banerjee and Yu work like doctors, evaluating the 'health' of America's safety-critical structures by looking at their well-being beneath the surface.
David King's dreams about a career in aerospace started while watching astronauts walk across the moon. From hundreds of thousands of miles away, Neil Armstrong and others inspired King to reach for the stars, but it would be mentors and colleagues right here on Earth that would help him become a prominent leader in the industry.
Very few high school valedictorians can tackle a 200-pound running back. Not many Division 1 college football players can tackle the rigor of a mechanical engineering degree. But this University of South Carolina Class of 2020 graduate did both.
Mechanical engineering associate professor Lingyu “Lucy” Yu describes her work in nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring as being something like a medical doctor.
As today's aircraft grow thinner and lighter to allow for greater fuel efficiency, Yi Wang is developing technology to ensure safety is not sacrificed as cost efficiency of aircraft production is increased.
In seven years, the McNair Center has gone from a simple dream to a full-blown reality. Using a model that pairs industry partners directly with faculty and students, the center has made itself an integral component of SC's aerospace industry and a key player in its future.
The first 12 students accepted into the university's Bridge to Doctorate program bring diverse life experiences but share a common commitment to science and community.
Kevin Gagnon's parents did not have the opportunity to receive four-year college degrees, but they worked hard to make sure he did. In Kevin's four years at UofSC, he gave his parents plenty to be proud of.
Ramy Harik, associate professor of mechanical engineering, has been recognized as one of the 20 most influential professors in the field of smart manufacturing.
It wasn't just one factor that led to Abby Delnoce receiving one of the nation's most respected STEM student awards. But, through the support of her family and the UofSC community, Delnoce has received the Department of Defense's SMART Scholarship.
Through a NASA University Leadership Initiative, the UofSC CEC aerospace team will revolutionize the materials and technology used to create aircraft, the speed and cost that parts can be produced at, and aircraft's overall strength and durability.
Mike Matthews of the College of Engineering and Computing has received the Michael J. Mungo Graduate Teaching Award. The award recognizes Matthews' long-standing commitment to the college's graduate students during their time at the university and beyond.
Chemical Engineering Professor Ed Gatzke has received the Outstanding Faculty and Staff Partner Award from the Division of Student Affairs and Academic Support. The award recognizes a member of the UofSC faculty who has demonstrated significant support for the division, the division's programs and services and the overall quality of campus life.
In its first year, the Peer Mentorship Program at the CEC paired 203 incoming freshmen with 186 older CEC students. At least once a month the mentors and mentees met to discuss social, academic and career-oriented topics.
Chemical Engineering junior Alexis Lewis took home the top prize in The Proving Ground SCRA/Fluor Fan Favorite Track competition. The Proving Ground gave UofSC students and alumni with entrepreneurial aspirations a chance to share their business ideas in a Shark Tank-like competition.
As coronavirus cases increase, researchers at the UofSC and Clemson are combining their technical expertise and national networks to bring face mask cleaning and disinfecting processes to the state's hospitals.
