Learning Experience

By using a hybrid model of education, the Clarkson MSEM degree combines limited on-site classes in either Beacon, New York, or New York City, with synchronous online learning. Adult education is predicated on the sharing and questioning of ideas and theories to mold new best practices. The on-site portion of the program allows participating students to meet faculty as well as their peers and develop the rapport necessary for success in an online setting. The synchronous class sessions provide the platform from which participants can leverage the diversity, experience and expertise at the heart of the MS in Engineering Management program. This creates a true online learning community, built on the principles of collaboration and problem-solving.

Corporate Partnerships & Participating Companies

IBM, Turner Construction, United Technologies Corporation, Urban Engineers and the National Society of Professional Engineers help shape the program to ensure it meets the specific needs of industry leaders now and in the future. It’s a successful formula for companies and students. As their capstone project, Clarkson MSEM students take what they’ve learned and apply it to a project developed in conjunction with their companies.
