Outreach Programs
Community Engagement
Increasing community enrichment through outreach programs helps to foster the love of learning at any age. Here, at the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences, we hope to encourage the number of individuals interested in STEM.
Explore. Seek. Discover.

On-Campus Initiatives
PEER & WISE
The mission of PEER & WISE is to educate, recruit, and retain underrepresented populations in STEM fields through mentoring, academic coaching, counseling, and academic enrichment. Hands-on opportunities are fundamental to our goal of encouraging students to choose careers in STEM.
Please sign up to volunteer if you would like to support the PEER & WISE program with its mission to increase the number of students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
Sneak Preview
Sneak Preview brings top-performing students from around the state together to explore majors in engineering and computer science at Clemson University. Participants hear from campus representatives and attend informational sessions regarding their major of interest. Students also have a chance to meet current PEER & WISE mentors to hear their Clemson story.
STEM DAY
STEM Day is a program partnering with schools and organizations in the Upstate of South Carolina to bring middle school students to campus. Participants engage in hands-on STEM activities with Clemson faculty and students and feel like a Clemson student for the day. The goal of the day is to introduce the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to underrepresented students in the area.
NEXT Engineers
Greenville Engineering Camp, sponsored by the GE Foundation in conjunction with PEER & WISE, is open to any current 8th or 9th grader who lives in Anderson, Greenville, Oconee, Pickens, or Spartanburg counties. Students complete design challenges inspired by real-world scenarios, such as building bridge prototypes and creating their own pressure-powered cars. All Engineering Camps are free of cost.
Outreach Opportunities
Additional opportunities are provided by individual departments and programs. Tours, school visits, and professional leadership webinars all extend community engagement and growth.
Upcoming Events
The College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences and the University regularly hold outreach events throughout the year for K-12 and adults. These events include virtual and in-person, throughout the state.
