Innovation & Entrepreneurship

The future of business and engineering education is the same: both are linked to innovation and to developing leaders who understand innovation and how to create a culture that promotes creative thinking.

The Innovation & Entrepreneurship department at Clarkson is unique in that its purpose is tri-fold. Faculty in these departments focus on research, community-based outreach, and student-faculty projects. Both the outreach efforts and projects are conducted through Clarkson's new Shipley Center for Innovation.

The Shipley Center for Innovation, previously known as the Shipley Center for Leadership and Entrepreneurship, is now serving as an engine of campus-wide economic development and faculty research. It is also home to the Clarkson Consulting Group, an undergraduate and graduate course that works with local companies to solve business issues, from making a business plan to conducting marketing and consumer behavior research.
