It’s the “why” behind the scent of pluff mud, and the thought of making use of this vast natural resource, that’s behind an on-going undergraduate research project in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Citadel.

The Project Management program at The Citadel Graduate College hit the trifecta for me: convenient, affordable and well-respected, said graduate student Sara Massey.

The availability of highly skilled engineers prepared to help lead the development of A.I. and its associated industries in the Charleston, South Carolina area is vital to the state’s competitiveness and its economy. The Citadel School of Engineering, one of America’s oldest engineering programs, is meeting that growing demand.

The state’s Civil Engineer of the Year, as named by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) South Carolina Section, is Simon T. Ghanat, Ph.D., P.E., a professor in The Citadel School of Engineering.

Dr. Gregory Mazzaro, a professor of electrical engineering at The Citadel, is spending the summer working on an ongoing project with the Army Research Lab in Adelphi, Maryland. He and his teammates continue to develop a unique, “nonlinear” radar designed to find hidden objects.
