Members and friends from the Clemson University & Greenville Technical College's Battery Workforce Challenge team represented the program at Clemson's annual community STEM outreach event. The BWC team was present along with another student organization, Theta Tau.

We displayed various science experiments to dozens of local elementary school students. These experiments dove into various concepts like Bernoulli's Principle and the classic "potato light bulb," which demonstrates how a simple battery works. Teaching students about STEM is key to strengthening the future generation of engineers and technicians.

Clemson University was excited to host Chinmay Sapre to campus yesterday. Chinmay and Vikrant Rayate are both Stellantis mentors for Clemson's BattChallenge team. We discussed deliverables and our path of action for the remainder of the academic year. Clemson is glad to have to have these mentors (and alumni) on the project!

An internal combustion engine (ICE) is not very efficient at turning fuel into usable energy. Its overall efficiency is far lower than that of an EV. Here's a comparison of ICE versus EV powertrains:

As the Fall 2024 semester ramps up, is entering its second year in the Battery Workforce Challenge. This is a three-year program where students design, develop, and fabricate an electric vehicle (EV) battery pack to sit inside a Stellantis vehicle.

For team members in the second year, this means more hands-on projects and opportunities to see their work get transformed into a real-world application.

The program is funded and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy , Stellantis , Argonne National Laboratory, and more.

For those interested in joining this semester, it is an incredible opportunity to learn more about EVs, battery management systems, and vehicle integration. Interested parties should reach out to Dr. Jeff Zhang, [email protected].

Clemson University recently hosted Michael Bly, SVP, Head of Global Propulsion Systems of Stellantis, at its Greenville automotive campus, CU-ICAR. As part of the Battery Workforce Challenge, Stellantis is a primary sponsor, and the students enrolled in the program will regularly interact with engineers and representatives from the automaker. Clemson was glad to show Stellantis around our state-of-the-art facility!

Clemson University is excited to announce its selection for the Battery Workforce Challenge, a three-year program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and Stellantis. This extended research opportunity allows Clemson students to explore the world of vehicle electrification, a critical industry set to redefine the way we view transportation.

Clemson students will have the opportunity to learn about electric vehicle batteries on an unprecedented level through hands-on research and in-person workshops. The program is offered at the Clemson International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) campus, where participants will have access to its state-of-the-art facility.

Clemson University is honored to have a role in the Battery Workforce Challenge. With efforts from the Department of Energy and Stellantis, Clemson will play a significant role in fostering the next generation of electrical and automotive engineers.
