Last month, Cohort 3 of Next Engineers Greenville celebrated a milestone three years in the making. Since the program's launch, students have come to Clemson's campus twice a month — for 180 hours total — to engage in team-based, project-driven learning that mirrors the real work of engineers in the field.

#NextEngineers volunteers made a huge difference in 2025! You reached over 8,700 young people, sharing your career experiences, encouraging students to ask questions, and showing young people what it's really like to be an engineer. As one student shared, your "mentorship and encouragement have played a big role in shaping my interest in engineering." Thank you for all that you do in inspiring the next generation of engineers! - in partnership with GE Aerospace Foundation

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! In 2025, our volunteers clocked over 9,100 hours of coaching and support for #NextEngineers participants - continuing to be an integral component of the program! https://lnkd.in/gxStd7yF #Engineering #STEM
