The opportunity for undergraduate students to participate in state-of-the-art, faculty-mentored research projects is part of Clarkson University's commitment to providing real-world, hands-on learning experiences. Students gain experience in critical thinking and the skills needed to tackle open-ended problems. They also gain insights into career opportunities and enhance their professional credentials for future employment or advanced degree programs.

Clarkson offers rigorous degree programs and concentrations in traditional fields of engineering as well as interdisciplinary programs that focus on emerging areas of study.

Clarkson’s longstanding emphasis on creative problem-solving and cross-discipline collaboration means that you will apply the knowledge you learn in the classroom directly to real-world problems  - from tackling an environmental problem to reengineering an airplane wing to reduce drag or design a motor for greater fuel efficiency.  As a student at Clarkson you'll learn  the fundamentals,  but you'll also learn about teamwork, collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership.
