Manufacturers from Europe and Australia as well as those from the United States and Canada attended. During this conference attendees addressed several issues including innovations in brick masonry, global trends influencing research and development, and production technology and practice. Not only does the brick industry benefit from the research center, but also Clemson University, as the center provides hands-on education for students in the Department of Ceramic and Materials Engineering. In the future, the center's research team hopes to include other Clemson University departments such as architecture, construction science, and civil engineering to further research in building construction. Earnest is published by the College of Engineering and Science at Clemson University for the alumni and friends of the College.
