Students in workshop

Welcome to Engineering

This workshop introduces students to resources available to them as current General Engineering (GE) students. Students will also have a chance to hear from a panel of upper-level students about life as a Clemson student and life as an engineering student and learn tips/advice on navigating through their first year as engineering students!

Major Discovery event in Watt

Find what makes each discipline unique

Multiple opportunities are available to learn about engineering majors and careers. Attend one of our events or classes, or take on a project with a major focus to delve deeper into what makes each engineering discipline unique.

Meet the Majors

At our annual fall event, meet department representatives and hear students talk about their experiences in each program. This event provides students with the opportunity to learn more about the different majors within CECAS. Students will meet department representatives, as well as senior students and ambassadors. Upper-level students will talk about their experiences and how to navigate through the program.


Major Discovery Night

Major Discovery Night is a major exploration event in the spring, hosted in conjunction with the Engineering Honor Society, Tau Beta Pi. Students meet and network with engineering alumni, who can give insight into careers and opportunities. The engineering department faculty and staff are in attendance to answer questions.


Major Discovery Seminar: ENGR 1000

This one-credit introduction to the engineering majors seminar occurs in the Fall semester. You will learn information about the engineering profession, best student practices, and potential career paths. Invited presenters and faculty will provide lectures and demonstrations. Pass/No Pass only.

GE Creative Inquiry Projects

Creative Inquiry (CI) is the imaginative combination of engaged learning, cross-disciplinary interactions, and undergraduate research unique to Clemson. Faculty mentors lead team-based investigations, which typically span a year or more. Students take on problems that spring from their own curiosity, from a professor's challenge, or the world's pressing needs around them. Please view the General Engineering list of CI Projects for incoming students. The sign-up process for these CI projects is different in your first semester.
