Clemson University - Sustainable Infrastructure Model Senior Capstone Project
Was selected by professors to participate in a senior capstone that developed designs for sustainable infrastructure on and around Clemson's campus. The project goal was to produce designs that are eventually built. Project involvement was with the Water Resources Team that was tasked with developing plans including a cistern to capture and reuse of rain water
the design of the reuse irrigation on athletic fields
and permeable pavement along SC 93. Considerations where taken into account via stakeholder involved charrettes including Clemson Campus Planning
The City of Clemson
Clemson Athletic Department
Clemson Area Transit
and local business owners.

Think globally to remain competitive - Upstate Business Journal
Whether it’s studied abroad or in a classroom close to home
global dimension provides context to education. The engineering students who are working in Haiti are learning not only how to become engineers
but why they should become engineers.
Aaron Gordon has been getting the education of a lifetime over the last seven months
but his \"classroom\" is more than 1
200 miles from Clemson University's campus. A junior majoring in civil engineering
Aaron has been overseeing efforts to provide clean water and sanitation to communities in Haiti's Central Plateau as part of Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries.

Global positioning systems (GPSs) have been used by both public and private entities to collect the locations of transportation assets and other spatial data including traffic signs
bus stops
bridges and culverts
and incident locations. In combination with geographic information systems
GPS data enable asset managers to track changes in assets and conduct “what if” assessments to aid in improved system management. This research explores the use of GPS to inventory individual parking space data
and subsequently generate a geospatial parking management system for Clemson University. On a growing college campus
with new buildings now occupying former surface parking lots and peak parking utilization rates reaching 95 percent
accurate and aggressive management of this commodity is a priority. While handheld GPS data collection devices provide opportunities to locate individual parking spaces for development of comprehensive space-by-space parking inventory maps
most published parking inventory studies have been conducted with pen and paper
limiting data to counts by lots or street segments. Collecting GPS locations for individual parking spaces provides a unique challenge due to the relative proximity of one space to another. Even small spatial errors that are inherent in GPS data collection not only are apparent but could compromise effective use of the data. This research combines the use of Wide Area Augmentation System–enabled GPS with digital aerial/satellite imagery and computer-aided design (CAD) as-built drawings to locate and inventory individual parking spaces. A methodology was developed to enhance the GPS locations to match the underlying CAD and aerial maps.

Analysis of Cost Estimation Disclosure in Environmental Impact Statements for Surface Transportation Projects
Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC) is a service learning course that is supported through the Creative Inquiry program at Clemson University. CEDC was started by seven civil engineering students in 2009 wanting to use their knowledge to make a difference in the world. Their mission is to work with local communities in Central Plateau of Haiti to develop sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life. \n \nOver its four years
the program has grown from 7 students to roughly 90 per semester
from one STEM department to 30 departments representing all 5 colleges at Clemson. CEDC’s interdisciplinary approach has encompassed Clemson’s campus and offered an innovative international learning opportunity to the student body by fostering critical thinking
problem solving
and professional skills. The impact of CEDC is evident in the magnitude of its student
intern
faculty
and industry participation. Eight student interns have spent at least seven months each in Haiti to train community members and to oversee projects
including the installation of the first chlorinated municipal water system in Haiti’s Central Plateau serving a population of over 5
000. Subsequent smaller projects in remote villages have impacted thousands more. In total
over 90 students have travelled to Cange
Haiti for short-term experiences and hundreds of student credit hours have been earned. \n \nThe program engages students representing multiple disciplines and at all stages of their undergraduate and graduate careers as they work in collaborative teams. Individually
CEDC students have developed a distinctive character shaped by service and collaboration
in the spirit of Clemson’s mission of engagement. As the organization has evolved from a single civil project to a global service-learning enterprise
it fulfills Clemson’s mission to become a research university with a global vision.
