About the CoEE:

This CoEE improves clinical education and patient safety through the use of simulation technology. Its goals include improving the quality of delivered care, advancing the practice and training of the medical workforce from student nurses to practicing physicians, and becoming an international focal point for health sciences education and innovative research in education and safety.

"The CoEE Program is fulfilling its promise to the citizens of South Carolina to build our state’s competitiveness in high‐growth industries. Just six years since its inception, The Clemson University Center for Automotive Research (CU‐ICAR) was recently named the Association of University Research Park’s Emerging Research/Science Park. CU‐ICAR has grown from an idea and an empty 250‐acre tract of land to a thriving research campus where university researchers and partners focus on advancing the automotive sector. CU‐ICAR would not exist without the CoEE Program."

James F. Barker
Clemson President
