Tim Guggisberg

Tim Guggisberg serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor in Clemson University's College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences since Spring 2020, following a 26-year industrial career at Michelin spanning the United States, France, and China with eight years in international assignments.

His educational background includes:

• Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech (2002)
• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University (1993)

Guggisberg's research centers on sustainable international engineering education models, with particular emphasis on US-Mexico collaborative programs. His work examines structural frameworks for embedding cross-border initiatives into standard curricula while addressing cultural integration challenges and long-term viability through industry-academic partnerships. This bridges his extensive process engineering and project management expertise with pedagogical innovation.

His 2022 publication reveals emerging trends in binational program sustainability, highlighting organizational strategies for maintaining engineering education partnerships amid geopolitical and institutional complexities. The research positions international experience as critical for developing globally competent engineers through structured curriculum integration.
