Grace Crocker

Dr. Grace Crocker is a Lecturer in the General Engineering Program at Clemson University, where she has held roles including Graduate Teacher of Record and Research Assistant. She earned her Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Civil Engineering from Clemson University (2022, 2019, 2018 respectively), along with an Engineering and Science Education Certificate. Her research focuses on structural innovations like precast concrete systems and 3D-printed construction materials, alongside multidisciplinary engineering education initiatives.

Her peer-reviewed work includes studies on failure modes of 3D-printed structures, precast concrete wall design, and undergraduate research experiences in architecture-civil engineering collaborations. She teaches courses such as Engineering Disciplines and Skills, Programming and Problem Solving, and MATLAB Programming. Professional experience includes roles as a structural engineering intern and geodetic technician.

Notable projects involve tessellated precast concrete systems and interdisciplinary research projects involving architecture and civil engineering students. Her teaching and research emphasize practical applications of engineering principles and student-centered learning methods.
