CU BRAND POLICY / ARCHITECTURE
In order to protect use of the name “Clemson University,” the wordmark, the seal and University tiger designed in 1995, the academic logo designed in 2009, and other official subordinate graphic symbols, the Clemson University Board of Trustees has determined that the name “Clemson University,” the word “Clemson” used in the context of Clemson University, the University seal, the University tiger, the Academic logo, and other authorized symbols shall not be used for any noncommercial official, quasi-official, promotional or similar purpose by any organization, group or activity without the express approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, to ensure consistency in representation of the Clemson Brand, non-authorized logos, wordmarks or symbols may not be used to represent Clemson University or any of its colleges, schools, divisions, departments, programs or offices without the express approval of the Board of Trustees.
Lastly, University units using Clemson University funds to produce publications or other communications materials must include approved Clemson branding.
The Board delegates to the administration the responsibility for implementation of this policy, including authority to develop and publish guidelines for appropriate use of Clemson University’s name, symbols and logos, with approval of the Administrative Council, with the proviso that the final academic logo design will be approved by the Institutional Advancement Committee. In these cases, “the administration” refers to the Office of Creative Services of the Division of Advancement.
In keeping with existing procedures, responsibility for monitoring use of symbols created in the Athletic Department will be delegated to the Athletic Department.
Adopted by the Clemson University Board of Trustees on February 12, 2009.Academic logo approved on April 17, 2009.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, COMPUTING AND APPLIED SCIENCES BRAND ARCHITECTURE
1. The Clemson brand is ferocious, and the college can leverage this and add to its strength. We can tell a powerful story with clear, consistent communications.
2. Brand strength is about more than having a logo family. What we say is as important as how it looks. The new college brand requires that all college communications convey academic excellence, entrepreneurship, intellectual capital and technological innovation.
3. Do we have to follow these guidelines? Yes. It’s better for Clemson and it’s better for the college. The strength of any brand depends, in part, on consistency. The Office of Creative Services is ready to help at 864-656-2467.
4. Because people think at the department level, we describe engineering, computing and applied sciences as three diverse but equal pillars supporting a stronger college unit. “Clemson Engineering” or “Clemson Computing” or “Clemson Applied Sciences” is appropriate language if used in conjunction with the Clemson Wordmark. This approach will allow college communications to better reach and motivate their target audiences.
5. We discourage the use of acronyms such as “CECAS” in place of the full college name. Why? Acronyms that arise out of a need for shorthand internal communication are often confusing and alienating to external users.
6. Research was conducted with a wide range of Clemson constituents to compare responses to the Clemson wordmark alone and enhanced with a symbol. When the wordmark is paired with a symbol, Clemson is 13 times more likely to be perceived as a high-quality academic institution.
7. The use of any Clemson icon requires adherence to the University licensing program guidelines. (See Licensing, p. 29.)
8. We have incorporated a new graphic element: the icon. The icons convey the mission and vision of the college through modern, interesting design that conveys topical categories in our core focus areas: collaboration, global impact, communication, innovation, economic development, leadership, education, research, entrepreneurship, sustainability, excellence and technology.
9. The square shape should be incorporated as much as possible into all publication designs. The regularity of a geometric shape like the square communicates structure and organization; its right angles represent order, mathematics, rationality and formality. The rectangle is the most commonly encountered shape in design. A square is less common, communicating that the college offers something different and unique within the framework of excellence.
10. Orange is still the No. 1 color at Clemson. We can dial Clemson Orange up or down, though, depending on need. Other colors in the expanded color palette give us a great degree of flexibility in conveying the serious nature of our school. (See Extended Color Palette, p. 16.)
11. Our brand architecture has a photography style characterized by people engaged or absorbed in research and hands-on learning. Photos are cropped tightly on their subjects. (See Photography, p. 24.)
12. Our newsletters, Web pages, Facebook, Twitter, email and PowerPoint communications should reflect the new brand architecture. Messaging, color palette, typography, photography and logos need to be consistent through every medium.

MISSION / VISION / POSITIONING
MissionOur mission in the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences is to create future graduates who can be productive in a global economy. Because today’s global citizen is expected to have experience beyond his or her primary discipline, our academic structure encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration. Engineering, computing and applied sciences represent independent degree programs that stand united in contributing to the overall success of the college. In addition, we provide a number of experiential learning opportunities that require students to transfer academic knowledge and experience from the classroom to real-world work environments.
We support the college’s mission and the University’s strategic initiative to remain among the top 25 national public universities by demonstrating what makes Clemson distinct through image, words and graphics.
VisionOur vision is to create engineers and scientists who are critical thinkers entrepreneurs and innovators who understand the social and business implications of their work. When attracting new and retaining existing talent, we should seek out individuals who are able to communicate their ideas coherently and work effectively in teams. Above all, the college provides leadership that works toward solving society’s big problems.
PositioningThe students who come to Clemson are the best and brightest, and they have been for over a century. We have established a palette of tools that, when combined, tell the story of our college and our institution as a whole; reflecting our commitment to undergraduate research and top-ranked academics from a setting of intense beauty with a heart and a drive to be the best.
Positioning ToolsOur visuals should demonstrate innovation, creativity, ingenuity and academic excellence:
• Real-life stories of successful students and faculty
• Powerful storytelling imagery that evokes the sense that to come to Clemson is to share in the future of this cutting-edge industry
• An inventory of logos that embody the college’s key brand attributes and categories of research and development
• Graphic sans serif typography (with the exception of limited Goudy usage) combined with collage effects, sleek design elements such as graphic lines through fonts and illustration-style images and logos, interesting shapes for publications — especially the use of the square.
• A color palette that draws from industry, while also pulling from the natural backdrop of the school

EDITORIAL STYLE
For a quick, clear reference, see the Editorial Style Guide at clemson.edu/brand.
Accuracy and consistency are essential to maintaining a positive, professional image of the college and the University. The Department of Creative Services has created the Clemson University Editorial Style Guide, a nonacademic in-house reference source for writers and editors of Clemson promotional and marketing materials, including those for the college.
In brief, the Associated Press Stylebook (AP) is the preferred style source and Webster’s New World Dictionary, Third College Edition is the preferred dictionary. The Chicago Manual of Style is preferred for issues not addressed by AP.

FULL-COLOR LOGO
The primary college logo is a marriage of Clemson icons. Clemson University’s academic symbol is the stylized face of a tiger, based on the University’s centennial flag and coat of arms. Below the tiger face, the date “1889” appears, which is the year of the institution’s founding and a star, representing our military heritage.
The college name is written in Trade Gothic, which is part of universitywide branding.
8College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Brand Guidelines
ONE-COLOR LOGO
The one-color version of the primary logo can be either Clemson Orange or black. No other colors are to be used for this version. The sanctity of the brand is reliant on consistent and tasteful use of this, our trademark image.
Use the all-black logo when the project is black-and-white or has no Clemson Orange.
The Tiger Paw logo may still be used sparingly, but it should be reserved for non-academic purposes only.
9College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Brand Guidelines
LOGO REVERSAL
Logo reversals should be done with care. A partial logo reversal can be used over darker value college brand colors by reversing “Clemson” and keeping the rest in Regalia.
Full logo reversal can occur on either Clemson Orange or black when the symbol, wordmark (and tagline/sub-brand title when included) are reversed. Supporting primary brand colors should never be used for full logo reversals.
A two- or one-color version of the primary logo may appear against a background of tints of any color within the palette. Please make sure that the contrast between the logo and the background is sufficient for legibility. Logo reversals on tints are not recommended.
When printing over photography, the logo can be partially reversed or printed in one or two colors. The logo should be large enough to be clearly identifiable, and the surrounding area must have very little pattern and provide distinct contrast so the logo is legible and stands out.INQUIRY, DISCOVERY IN ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE SPRING 2015 COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE

10College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Brand Guidelines
LOGO CLEAR SPACE
The college logo must be protected and elevated, always having a clear space around it where no other elements appear (such as no typography, other logos, graphics or photos that intrude upon the logo).
The clear space for both versions of the logo is “X,” or the width of the counter (the inner space) of the “O” in Clemson.
Be mindful of maintaining this clear space, and do not place the logo too close to the paper’s edge, any folded edge, any cuts or embossing.

UNACCEPTABLE LOGO APPLICATIONS
Do not use non-college colors for the logo or any of its parts. This includes unacceptable use of brand colors. Do not add any effects such as bevels, drop shadows or outlines. Do not stretch or bend the logo, or alter its proportions.
Do not reverse the logo except as detailed in this guide. (See Logo Reversal, p. 9)
Do not use the logo over a tint unless it provides excellent contrast and legibility. Do not partially reverse a logo out of a tint or screen, and do not use any tints other than those in the palette. If in doubt, check with the Office of Creative Services.
A partially reversed logo over a photo can work, but do not use a busy photo, or a photo that is too light to provide sufficient contrast.
The logo must contain “College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Science.”
ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE
12College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Brand Guidelines
UNIVERSITY MARKS TO AVOID
Don’t use these outdated logos. Materials with the Engineering and Science mark, either with the Tiger Paw or the academic shield, can be used until supplies run out.
The Tiger Paw logo may still be used sparingly, but it should be reserved for non-academic purposes only.
The seal is reserved for use by the President’s office. The paw should be reserved for use less academic in nature.
13College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Brand Guidelines
COLLEGE DEPARTMENT LOGOS
All media produced by the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences, its departments, clubs, organizations, events and other affiliations must include the college logo. When a club or group is the primary producer, the club or group logo should be the most prominent, and the college logo should be in sign-off position (on the back cover of brochures and bottom right-hand corner of posters). This reverses for college-produced events and publications. Logo placement, clear space and color treatments should adhere to all guidelines detailed at clemson.edu/brand.

Graphical icons are a device that can be used to convey the mission and vision of the college and its core values. Through repetition within single documents and over the broad spectrum of publications and materials generated by college, these icons should become a “key” to communicating those ideals that the college embraces and seeks to foster.
Icons may be white on an orange background or Innovation on a white background, contained in a circle.
Icons may be screened back. Icons may be used without a label. If used with a label, it should appear as it is shown here.
No other colors or backgrounds may be used with the icons.

THE ICONS AS GRAPHIC BACKGROUND
When a visual element is needed as a component of design, icons can be used behind text in varying sizes. Icons can be a dotted line (the dot should be equal to the weight of the line) or a solid line, in either Hartwell Moon or Howard’s Rock. No other colors are permitted when using this graphical treatment.
a conversation with the DeanClemson’s land-grant tradition“After being appointed dean, I had the opportunity
to reflect on how the land-grant traditions of Clemson
impact the mission of a 21st-century college of
engineering and science. Our founder, Thomas Green
Clemson, envisioned an institution that would help
build the material resources of our state. Traditionally,
this has been accomplished through excellent
research and scholarship, coupled with an extension
service for sharing the new knowledge and technology
with our citizens. While this model is still in place,
Clemson has added a new dimension by creating
innovation campuses at strategic locations throughout
South Carolina to facilitate closer collaboration with
key economic players. Consider, for example, our
investments in automotive and transportation research
at the Clemson University International Center for
Automotive Research (CU-ICAR), the advanced
materials research being conducted at our Advanced
Materials Center, the restoration industries, and
environmental and sustainable technologies at the
Clemson University Restoration Institute (CURI), and
the biomedical research at the Clemson University
Biomedical Engineering Innovation Campus (CUBEInc).
These innovation campuses allow us to connect with
industry locally, nationally and globally, and the College
of Engineering and Science needs to be fully engaged
with all of these, taking a leadership role.”
On the nature of the college“The key to understanding the nature of our college
can be found in its very name — engineering and
science. This combination sets the stage for a unique,
collaborative environment — a synergy that gives
faculty the freedom to push boundaries and explore
innovative solutions. I think that we need to build
bridges beyond our college and, just as important, that
these efforts need to be institutionalized if we are going
to be successful. One example could be a partnership
that would lead to a graduate degree in business
engineering or in entrepreneurship and innovation. To
be successful, the global citizen of the future must have
experience, not only in his or her primary discipline,
but also skills beyond. We can only provide those
experiences for our faculty and students if we look at
collaborative opportunities that exist on the education,
research and service fronts. Such collaboration is key if
we are going to move this college forward.”

THE USE OF LINES
Half-point lines when used in a design harken to the days when drafting and engineering were in lockstep, and they convey the historical nature of our college, as a school with an agricultural history and mechanical roots. Visually, these lines also reflect contemporary ideals.
The lines can either be single or double, and they may cross. The lines must be .5 point, unless it is a double line. This may be created by setting the weight to 4 points and choosing the line style to “thin-thin.”
Lines cannot be used in any other color or weight.
The use of curved lines that vary in weight should be discouraged.
21College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Brand Guidelines
THE THREE PILLARS: TYPE TREATMENT
The above type treatments are not replacement logos and must be used in conjunction with the official college wordmark. For example, it’s appropriate to feature one of these type treatments on a webpage if the college wordmark is in the header, or to use one on the back of a business card if the college wordmark is on the front. Type treatments are also acceptable in various other contexts when the intent is to emphasize a specific part of the college — engineering, computing or applied sciences. Keep in mind the goal is to creatively highlight one of three distinct pillars supporting a collaborative unit while still recognizing the college as a whole.
Colors used for these type treatments include Clemson Orange and Innovation.
The Office of Creative Services is available to answer any questions regarding guidelines at 864-656-2467.

The colors seen here are Blue Ridge from the primary color palette and Innovation from the extended color palette. Use these color variations in place of or in addition to Clemson Orange.
Full or partial reversals can be used over any college brand color. The same rules regarding color usage for logos apply to these type treatments. (See logo reversal, p. 9.)
Because the purpose of these color variations is to call attention to only one of the college pillars at a time, only one type treatment should be used on a single page at a time. When referencing the college as a whole, use the college logo. CLEMSON

Trade Gothic has been a staple of graphic design for many decades. These typefaces were developed, in part, to bridge the gap between quirky, grotesque fonts of the late 19th century and the carefully modulated typefaces that emerged in the mid-20th century. Because Trade Gothic does not display as much unifying family structure as many other sans-serif families, it appears to be more hand-worked. But the dimensions of this font frame up well: They are bold without being distracting and the letters are tough and upright, communicating strength.
The brand equity of the Clemson wordmark is of utmost importance, so retaining the Goudy Oldstyle typeface for limited usage is strategically beneficial in some limited usage.
Titling Gothic Skyline communicates innovation and cutting-edge ideals. This font should be used only in all caps.
This suite of three typefaces provides a comprehensive collection of fonts for any college publication, and it has been comprised so that it is all that is needed to create appropriate and effective emphasis in all the college communications.
24College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Brand Guidelines
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photos create compelling visual stories and people often look first at images before words. With this in mind, select every image for maximum communication. Photography should convey the University’s brand attributes — family, service, leadership, tradition, inspiration, collaboration, competition, focus and determination, and bold energy.
Posed photographs should appear as natural as possible. Posed shots are at risk of losing vital energy, which translates into weaker impact. Allow subjects to walk, talk, move, and comfortably be themselves. Subjects should seem unaware of the camera. Ideally, subjects are not working alone, but rather are collaborating.
In most cases, photos should be tightly cropped.
Portraits The college vision can be powerfully conveyed through a portrait photo that puts the subject in a relevant context while creating a sense of place. Photos should capture a moment infused with real emotion and should communicate tenacity, spirit, challenge or achievement or a combination of these attri-butes.
Particularly in a lab setting, subjects should be wearing the gear/uniform/lab coats that would be required in that relevant setting.
Photographs should seem natural while conveying energy, action and engage-ment. Subjects should be photographed in an environment that corresponds to the purpose of the portrait. For example, if a student is studying electrical engineering with a focus on public policy, consider shooting in a lab setting, where power grids or other electrical equipment can be manipulated.
Photographer Guidelines • Shoot in high resolution color, using 24-bit or higher color depth.• Shoot wide so photos can be cropped from all directions. • Format should be high resolution JPEG files (.jpg), TIFF (.tif) files
or RAW.• Bitmap files should be a minimum of 9 inches across by 12 inches high,
at a resolution of 300dpi – or 2700 x 3600 pixels.

blue ribbons and prize money. He used
the cash to help pay for college. More
importantly, he developed an appreciation
for the practical application of one’s studies. Nearly three decades later, Summers finds himself
molding the next generation of engineers, connecting
undergraduate and graduate students alike with industry
partners and getting them the experience and education
they need to be successful in work and in life.
Real-world opportunityMost engineering programs require a senior capstone
project, but the industry-sponsored projects that Clemson’s
mechanical engineering program makes available,
particularly to its undergraduates, are unique.
Summers leads a Creative Inquiry program of about a
dozen mechanical engineering undergraduates who divide
their time between developing prototypes of new and
improved power tools and presenting their work to industry
officials for consideration.
“I enjoy getting students the training and the
experience of working on real projects,” Summers says.
“They’re working on physical deliverables and making
industry connections.”
Lately that’s meant building and testing power tools —
hand sanders, drills and the like — on behalf of Anderson-
based Techtronic Industries North America (TTi) to make
those tools more portable, more efficient and quieter.
“Hands-on” has meant doing design work for NASA,
studying traction and resistance issues in the wheels of
lunar vehicles. And it’s meant working with Greenville-
based BMW exploring metal foams for use in their cars’
headlights, to improve their efficiency and hold up against
harsh road conditions.
“Industry will always have interesting problems to
consider,” says Melur “Ram” Ramasubramanian, chairman
of the mechanical engineering department and the D.W.
Reynolds Distinguished Professor. “Our students are able
to provide fresh ideas and innovative solutions. And by
partnering with business, they gain real-world experience
before they even graduate. It’s a win-win.”
Marketable productsJustin Moylan, a mechanical engineering graduate student
from Mount Pleasant, works about 20 hours per week
with TTi, but he started with the company last year, while
working on his senior design project at Clemson. His
study? Designing a solution to the noise emissions of
power tools — in other words, to engineer something that
would contain the sound but allow heat generated by the
mechanism to escape.
“The end goal is coming up with something innovative,
something novel,” Moylan says, “and ultimately come up
with a product TTi can get on the market.”
He hopes his product will make its way to the market
sometime in the next year or so.
Adam Bidwell, a native of Orangeburg, is a senior
mechanical engineering student and is a part of Summers’
current Creative Inquiry undergraduate research team.
Summers advises the group, but he says the students are
the ones actually working in the Fluor Daniel building lab,
discussing, designing, writing about and then building
the prototypes that will be presented to TTi managers,
marketers and engineers.
Those exercises and experiences are setting the stage
for a bright future: Adam is already talking to several
companies about potential job opportunities.
“I’ve gotten so much experience. I’ve been able to
take what I’ve learned and actually apply it to industry,”
Adam says. “It allows me to get industry experience
without having to leave campus.” R

There are many motivations for pursuing biosystems engineering as a field of study:• Concerns about a limited fossil fuel supply (the U.S.
Department of Energy reports 40 years for petroleum; 65 years for natural gas)
• Desire to reduce air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels, including CO2, sulfur and mercury, which cause climate change and negative health effects
• Concerns about traditional manufacturing that cause pollution• Desire to limit water pollution caused by runoff (construction
sites, urban lawns/streets, septic tanks)
What will I do with a BE degree?Biosystems engineering evolved from agricultural engineering and still maintains close ties to sustainable production of food, feed, fiber and fuels. Your career options with a biosystems engineering degree are varied:
• Producing biofuels/renewable energy to avoid using fossil fuels that pollute the environment
• Producing pharmaceuticals and biomaterials without using toxic chemicals in “green” processing
• Designing communities to have less impact on the natural environment and restore damaged ecosystems
• Treating storm water with natural treatment systems• Making the world a more sustainable place

(Diverse Issues in Higher
Education)
With bright ideas, we can better the Earth. Biosystems engineers help develop forward-thinking
ideas by coming up with new system designs — ones that minimize ecological impacts and maximize sustainability. These scientists apply engineering design and analysis skills to biological systems such as living organisms (microbial cultures, animals, humans), ecosystems (lakes, forests, watersheds) and natural resources (surface water, groundwater, soil, air), and then they incorporate fundamental biological principles to preserve ecological balance.
The field focuses on the sustainable production of biorefinery compounds (biofuels, bioactive molecules, biomaterials) using metabolic pathways found in nature and green processing technologies. further, biosystems engineering encompasses the design of sustainable communities utilizing low-impact development strategies (bioretention basins, rainwater harvesting) for storm water retention and treatment — and ecologically sound food and energy-crop production.
Clemson offers two emphasis areas for its BE degree:• Ecological engineering (focus on nonpoint source
pollution control, storm water retention/treatment, low-impact design)
• Bioprocess engineering (focus on biofuel and biopharmaceutical production, bioreactor design, biological waste treatment)
Clemson offers faculty research and expertise in many fields relating to bioprocessing and ecological engineering:• Sustainable biofuels • Bioproducts formation • Environmental remediation• Microbial kinetics• Bioreactor modeling• Water quality• Irrigation and drainage• Hydrology and water resources engineering • Enzyme and fermentation technologies for biofuels

Dear Colleagues and Friends:I am very pleased to present you with a brief summary of the accomplishments and activities of our Department during the past academic year. The Department had again another exceptional year. We currently have 182 undergraduate and 120 graduate students working with 20 tenure track faculty members. New research awards, several of which are from keen national competitions, reached $4.5M in the past year, while the research expenditures totaled $2.7M. This is a testament to the hard work and impressive productivity of our talented faculty, students and staff. Dr. Stephen Moysey received the prestigious NSF CAREER award, increasing the number of CAREER award recipients in the Department to five. Dr. Kevin Finneran was named Kavli Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, a program that recognizes young scientists who are leaders in their field. Dr. Tim Devol was named as the Toshiba Endowed Professor of Nuclear Engineering, a corner stone position in the Department that is responsible for our nationally recognized and unique nuclear environmental engineering and science program. Dr. Annick Anctil joined the Department as our new Environmental Sustainability faculty. Her major research interest is in sustainable energy; in particular, photovoltaics, where she uses life cycle assessment to identify the main issues of current technologies and propose alternative solutions. We organized another very successful Hydrogeology Symposium (20th!) with over 350 attendees and 30 exhibitors. We are also very proud of the accomplishments of our students; several of them have received impressive national awards (e.g., NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, Fulbright Award) and recognitions, some listed on the next page. There are many more accomplishments that I cannot fit in this limited space. Please visit our web page to learn about them.

Degradation of military high explosives and insensitive munitions by mixed biological-abiotic interactionsDr. Finneran and his students examine the degradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and the 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) to determine the mixed biological-chemical reactions with iron and extracellular electron shuttling molecules that degrade them in both defined systems and contaminated environmental media in a DOD funded project. The fastest and most complete RDX degradation pathway is via extracellular reduced intermediates. Formaldehyde is the dominant reaction product, and this pH dependent reaction is very fast – with rates on the order of hours between pH 8 and 9. An emerging contaminant, DNAN, also quickly degrades by hydroquinones and Fe(II) via direct reduction. They have coupled these reactions to a phototroph that generates reduced extracellular metabolites, Rhodobacter sphaeroides, to use sun energy for generating the reducing equivalents needed to drive the reactions.
innovative Well Testing Technique to Make CO2 Storage SaferWells deform when fluid, like CO2, is injected into the subsurface. Drs. Murdoch and Moysey have a project sponsored by the Department of Energy to evaluate the feasibility of measuring and interpreting these small deformations in deep wells in order to reduce costs and risks during CO2 storage. The results of poroelastic modeling indicate that casing deformation should be at least a few microns to several tens of microns during CO2 injection. These are tiny deformations, but they are huge compared to the resolution of downhole
