Clemson University & Greenville Technical College

Clemson University (Clemson, S.C.) is partnering with Greenville Technical College (Greenville, S.C.) to compete in the three-year Battery Workforce Challenge collegiate competition. This opportunity allows students to explore the world of vehicle electrification, a critical industry set to redefine the way we view transportation.

Students will have the opportunity to learn about EV batteries on an unprecedented level through hands-on research and in-person workshops.

The team is hosted at the Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research, where participants will have access to a state-of-the-art facility. Clemson University and Greenville Technical College are honored to hold this role in the BattChallenge.

The Clemson University & Greenville Technical College team looks forward to playing a significant role in fostering the next generation of electrical and automotive engineers.

Our mission is to push the boundaries of battery technology with mission-focused innovation, creating energy solutions that drive sustainable transportation forward. We’re committed to tackling real-world challenges with focus, collaboration and a relentless pursuit of excellence. 

Our three goals targeted for year two of the BattChallenge include:

• Provide the best prototype design of our team's battery module by the end of year two without any faults and meet the industry-level standard
• Elect our new hardware lead for the team in replacement of one who is graduating
• Increase communication channels between the teams for ease of communicating meeting-related things
