Leading Innovation. Benefiting Humanity.
For years, a certain subset of engineers have devoted their insight and expertise to projects that benefit humanity. They defy current trends and use their extraordinary talent to find ways to improve the collective human condition. A sizable number of these visionary engineers are Clarkson graduates. Care to join them?
Our undergraduate engineering programs in the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering prepare you for tomorrow’s challenges in two distinctive ways. First, our curriculum is team-based and interdisciplinary, just like today’s workplace. Since engineers don’t work in isolation, we don’t believe they should learn in isolation either. To build entrepreneurial competence and learn how to forge relationships across disciplines, our engineering programs provide opportunities for every student to do hands on projects at the intersections of science, engineering, technology, arts and business.
Second, we emphasize innovation in the development of technology that serves humanity. We don’t pursue engineering for the sake of engineering. We encourage students to consider the social consequences of projects by looking at the economics, ethics and environmental impact of every engineering decision.

Aerospace Engineering
Our undergraduate bachelor’s degree program in aerospace engineering prepares you for a career in the aerospace industry by providing the knowledge to understand the social, ethical and environmental context of aircraft workings. Courses in areas such as aerodynamics, propulsion, aircraft structures, flight mechanics, stability, flight control and aircraft design are key for successful program completion. In the aerospace engineering capstone course, you work in teams to design an aircraft and apply the solution process to a real-life problem.
The undergraduate bachelor’s degree program in chemical engineering at Clarkson offers a unique and personalized educational environment designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the chemical engineering principles. Specializing in applications of these principles in materials engineering, environmental engineering and biomedical engineering through minors and concentrations is also possible.
Small class sizes and low student to faculty ratios allow close interaction with the department faculty that have a combined expertise in all modern areas of chemical engineering. As a student in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) department, you’ll have the opportunity to work on research projects for course credits that lay the groundwork for success in applied research and development. After graduation, you will be an intellectual leader in industry, en route to an illustrious career.
Civil engineering encompasses several distinct disciplinary themes such as architectural engineering, construction engineering, environmental engineering, structural engineering, and water resources engineering, and at Clarkson, we give our students opportunities to be successful in all of these areas.
Building your future is something that must be earned, and in Clarkson’s civil engineering undergraduate bachelor’s degree program, you do just that. You gain experience working on projects and research that influences the future. In the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), courses in the civil engineering major are taught in a project-based and challenge-based manner.
The computer engineering undergraduate bachelor’s degree program is constructed so that you develop a working knowledge of engineering design based on a broad spectrum of concepts, principles and techniques. Offered through the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Computer Engineering courses provide you with skills in C/C++ and Java in the context of modern integrated development environments. You gain experience with hardware description languages (HDL) and industry standard simulation, synthesis, debug and verification tools for FPGA hardware design. Ultimately, your skills are showcased in a design project that you complete as a capstone to the program.
Concepts are balanced in hardware, software and systems, along with a strong set of communication and teamwork skills that industry leaders seek.
As an electrical engineering major at Clarkson, you will have the opportunity to select from programs in electrical engineering, computer engineering and software engineering, as well as various minor programs. Our team-based, collaborative approach encourages you to apply knowledge and skills to solve practical, real-world problems. Teamwork and leadership skills, creative problem-solving, research and analysis and evidence-based problem-solving, combined with your education, provide a strong foundation for a successful career.
If you are interested in engineering, but you don’t know what field you’ll like the most, Engineering Studies is a great place to start.
In our Engineering Studies undergraduate major, you can enroll in engineering, beginning with common core curriculum, and wait to declare a major until your second year at Clarkson. This gives you a chance to explore different academic areas, while taking full advantage of all of Clarkson’s resources. You will be able to move into or out of one or more engineering studies degrees without extending the time you need to graduate.
In the environmental engineering undergraduate bachelor’s degree program at Clarkson, you will learn how to develop and implement technologies to solve problems such as meeting clean water supply needs and protecting public health. Other areas of interest and study you will focus on include addressing the issues of acid rain, global warming, and reducing pollution, all while maintaining or improving the quality of life we enjoy. The environmental engineering major is offered through the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE).
In Clarkson’s mechanical engineering undergraduate bachelor’s degree program, we offer areas of study in machine design, robotics, manufacturing processes, thermodynamics, fluid flow, composite materials and much more. You can study anything from biomechanics and assistive technologies for people with disabilities to automation and robotics systems. You can even learn about the design of ships, submarines, aircraft and spacecraft.
The undergraduate bachelor’s degree program in software engineering involves applying engineering principles to the construction of such software.
At Clarkson, software engineering is unique in its collaborative nature, spanning multiple departments. We combine the expertise, knowledge and experience of faculty from the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science to deliver you mastery of theory. This collaborative approach provides you with knowledge and understanding of software processes, honing your ability to develop effective and cost-efficient software systems.
Clarkson University’s undergraduate aerospace, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, mechanical, and software engineering programs and undergraduate engineering and management program are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org. Read more.

“It is hard to say what Clarkson has helped me with — except to say “everything.” The community at Clarkson has made me who I am as a person today. I study more than I used to, I am able to achieve more, I have a great group of friends (that I trust unconditionally), and I can easily see my path to a job after I graduate. It is not just about studying itself, though. It’s about how I study and who I study with. I have a community that is willing to help me solve any problem.”
