More than 160 organizations have joined South Carolina’s engineering industry group, the South Carolina Engineering Cluster (Columbia, SC), which was established nine months ago.
The cluster is designed to promote engineering as a career choice for young students. It represents government, economic development, academia, engineering companies, and professional societies aiming to promote engineering in South Carolina.
The Engineering Cluster has received a grant from the S.C. Department of Education to allow middle and high school students in the state to participate in hands-on science and engineering classes through Project Lead the Way, a national, nonprofit education program. The program’s goal is to encourage students to go into the engineering field.
More than 45,000 South Carolina engineers are developing new technologies and designing major projects around the world in almost every industry including electronics, automotive, chemical, biotech, energy and infrastructure.
More information can be found at the South Carolina Engineering Cluster.
