K-12 Outreach Programs

CU-ICAR recognizes the value that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education programs have to enhance the nation’s global competitiveness. To help build the pipeline of students prepared to meet our nation’s workforce needs, Clemson University’s Department of Automotive Engineering and the CU-ICAR partnership office have established a number of programs reaching students across South Carolina.

 

 

All Girls AUTO Know

For 12 years running, CU-ICAR & Southern Automotive Women’s Forum partner to bring over 300 young women to the CU-ICAR campus. The goal is to empower and expose girls to the automotive industry with a focus on automotive engineering. The day-long event at CU-ICAR’s AT&T Auditorium is coordinated twice a year with Greenville, Spartanburg, Union, Anderson County and private schools across the upstate. We don’t ask for their most gifted students, we ask for students who would benefit most from the day. Participants are automotive companies & schools including Michelin, BMW, Draexelmeier, SAGE, Clemson WISE, and Greenville Tech.
