Community
Fostering a Diverse Community
At ME, we envision a thriving community where all persons are afforded an active voice and a transparent and timely mechanism to address their concerns or views. The department is further guided by the Clemson University CEBA office, which boasts over 30 programs and initiatives, plus 7 committees.
ME Town Hall
The ME Department hosts a Town Hall the Thursday of week 12 of every semester between 6-7 PM at Fluor Daniel Engineering Innovation Building 132. What should you expect when attending the Town Hall? At the Town Hall, the committee and/or the Department Chair will update all attendees on the efforts of the department. A variety of initiatives will be implemented to spark group conversation about important current topics.
