 | How Ford Helped Clemson
For the past few years, Ford has been working with students in Clemson University’s Deep Orange automotive program. Now in its 12th year, Deep Orange is a two-year Masters program that teaches by doing — it assembles students into teams and challenges them to design and build a fully functioning concept car. Working collaboratively with each other, faculty and industry veterans like those of us at Ford, students get a first-hand look at how a car goes from concept to reality.
