ABRIEFHISTORYOFCLARKSON(ThefollowingsummaryhasbeenexcerptedlargelyfromAClarksonMosaic,ahistorywrittenbyProfessorEmeritusBradfordB.Broughtoninconjunctionwiththeinstitution’s1996Centennial.)TwomonthsafterahighlysuccessfulPotsdambusinessman,ThomasStreatfeildClarkson,wascrushedtodeathwhiletryingtosaveoneofhisworkersinhissandstonequarryonAugust17,1894,hisfamilybeganplanningamemorialtohim:aschool.
Choosingastheirrationaleaphrasewhichhissistersandniecesfeltaptlydescribedtheirbrother—Thomas’favoriteBiblicalquotation,Aworkmanthatneedethnottobeashamed—thefamilyopenedtheThomasS.ClarksonMemorialSchoolofTechnologyinSeptember1896,inTheMainBuilding(“OldMain”)whichtheycommissionedtobebuiltonMainStreet.
Tothefiveyoungmeninthepreparatoryclass,eightmenandfourwomeninthefreshmanclass,sixcoursesofinstructionwereoffered:electricalengineering,domesticscience,art,machineworkandsmithing,woodworkandpatternmaking,andnormalmanualtraining.By1907theschoolwasofferingadditionalbachelor’sdegreesinmechanical,civilandchemicalengineering.Recognizingtheneedforagymnasium,thestudentsbeganafund-raisingcampaignforthe$11,000neededtobuildoneintown,spurredonbya$5,000giftfromtheClarksonfamily.By1912,thissecondSchoolbuildinghadbeenerected.Thatbuildingbecamethelibraryin1956afterthenewAlumniGymnasiumopened.WhenthelibrarymovedtotheEducationalResourcesCenterin1978,theoriginalbuildingbecametheLiberalStudiesCenter.WhentheNewYorkStateBoardofRegentsofferedscholarshipstoqualifiedstudentsattendingcollegewithinthestatein1913,Clarkson’sBoardofTrusteesvotedtochangetheschool’snametoTheThomasS.ClarksonMemorialCollegeofTechnology;theheadofthecollegebecamepresidentinsteadofdirector;andJohnPascalBrooks,aDartmouthgraduate,andoneofthemenonWalterCamp’sfirstAll-Americanfootballteam,becamethefirstClarksondirectortobearthetitleofpresident. Hockeybeganin1921onarinkbehindOldMain,andsoonmovedtoabiggerrinkbuiltbythestudentsinIvesPark.Notuntilthehockeyarenawascompletedonlandacrosstheriverin1938didtheteamhaveabuildinginwhichtoplay.ThatfacilitywaslaternamedforthefoundingforcebehindClarksonhockey,MurrayWalker,ownerofWeston’sBookstore.WalkerArenaprovidedhomeiceforClarksonteams,whichhavefrequentlyachievednationalranking,untilCheelArenawascompletedin1991.
ThomasClarkson’snieces,MissAnnieClarksonandMissEmilyMoore,triedtohavetheentireschoolmovedtoanewcampusonahilloutsideofPotsdam(hencethenickname,the“hillcampus”),withagiftof$1.5millionin1929.However,becausethatmoneyshranktohalfamillionwithinayearduetothestockmarketcrash,theplansforthemovehadtobeshelvedforover30years.Sincethen,thecampushasmovedalmostentirelytothehill,althoughsomeadministrativeofficesandtheprogramsinhealthsciencesremainontheoriginaldowntownPotsdamcampus.

RespondingtoapleafromNewYorkGovernorThomasDeweyafterWorldWarII,Clarksonadmittedhundredsofreturningveterans.Havingnospacetohouseorteachthemby1946,ClarksonrentedtheNewYorkStateSchoolfortheDeafinMalone,N.Y.,40mileseastofPotsdam.Forthenextfiveyears,freshmenandmanysophomoresspenttheirfirsttwoyearsinMalonebeforemovingtothePotsdamcampusfortheremainderoftheirClarksoneducation.Thatbranchclosedin1951.
WiththatfloodofveteranscametheTrustees’realizationthattheCollegewouldhavetoexpanditsfacilities,andexpandthemitdidoverthenext20years,addingnotonlyfacilitiesbutgraduateprogramsinengineering,science,andmanagement,includingPh.D.programsinmost.
Duringthatpost-warperiod,andthroughthemid-1980s,Clarksonexpandedbothofitscampuses,withmanynewresidencehallsonthehillcampus,includingHamlin-Powers,theQuad,MooreHouse,PriceandGrahamHalls,Woodstock(originallyplannedformarriedstudenthousingonly),andtheTownhouses.Besidethem,itbuilttheEducationalResourcesCenterin1978andtheaddedrecreationalfacilitiesoftheIndoorRecreationCenterin1980.Thedowntowncampusalsowitnessedexpansionduringthoseyears;PeytonHallforchemicalengineering,DamonHallforcivil,ClarksonHallforelectrical,andLewisHouseforastudentunion.ClarksonalsograduallytookoverSnellHallfromSUNYPotsdamforclassroomsandofficespace.
Inthefallof1991,twosignificantdevelopmentsoccurredonthehillcampus.ClarksonopenedtheCAMP(CenterforAdvancedMaterialsProcessing)building,aresearchandteachingcomplexwith70state-of–the-artlaboratories,designatedaNewYorkStateCenterofAdvancedTechnology.ThebuildingwasconnectedtotheexistingRowleyLaboratoriesand,inthefallof1996,allengineeringdepartmentswereconsolidatedintheCAMP-Rowleycomplex.

Coming off the National Championship title in 2014, the Women’s Hockey team enjoyed another highly successful season, claiming their second straight ECAC Hockey regular season crown and made their third consecutive appearance in the NCAA playoffs to post a 24-10-3 mark.
For the second straight year the Men’s Hockey team gained a home-ice berth in the ECAC Hockey playoffs while competing against some of the top programs in the country. The Men’s Basketball team set the school-record for most wins in a season (20) and reached the championship game in the Liberty League Tournament. For the first time in more than a decade the Women’s Basketball team advanced to the conference playoffs, posting an 18-8 record.
Both the Alpine and Nordic ski teams continued to dominate in the USCSA and were once again among the top programs at the nationals.
The Baseball team enjoyed one of its best seasons ever with a 24-9 record and reached the conference tournament for the 10th time in 13 years.
In its second year as an NCAA program, the Softball team saw a massive step forward by recording 18 wins and was awarded an ECAC playoff bid.

A professional elective in Engineering & Management is a 3-credit course (or equivalent) that predominantly covers engineering or engineering management knowledge. Examples of such courses include: any sophomore, junior or senior-level course in engineering; any junior or senior level course in a topical knowledge area(s) in the Guide to the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge, 3rd edition, ASEM, 2013; courses focused on information technology. At Clarkson University, the E&M professional electives are:
172
· Any course in the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering of 200-level or higher (prefix ES, ME, AE, CE, CH, EE, BR) for which the student has the prerequisites, except for ES 238 Introduction to Energy Systems, ES 300 Engineering for Non-engineers, EE 268 Machine Intelligence or Stupidity, and BR 200 Intro to Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering, Science and Technology;
· Any 300-level or higher EM course; · HP 390 (3 credits), HP 490 (3 credits), if the research is Engineering & Management based. Transfer courses from other universities will be assessed against the definition above by the Director of E&M, or course faculty member(s) designated by the Director, for their professional elective status. Course designations: ES – Engineering Science ME – Mechanical Engineering AE – Aeronautical Engineering CE – Civil and Environmental Engineering CH – Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering EE – Electrical and Computer Engineering BR – Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering EM – Engineering Management HP – Honors Program SeeAcademicRequirementsfordetailsoftheClarksonCommonExperienceincludingtheFirst-YearSeminar,theClarksonSeminar,KnowledgeArea(KA)courses,UniversityCourses(UC),andrelatedrequirements.StudentsarerequiredtotakefivecourseswhichcoverfourofthesixspecifiedCCEknowledgeareas;oneUniversitycourse(UC)mustspantwoKnowledgeAreas.ProfessionalExperienceRequirementismetwhenstudentcompletesEM120,EM121,EM432andEM456ortherecognizedequivalentsofthesecourses.BeginningwiththeClassof2017,allstudentswillparticipateinaproject-basedprofessionalexperiencesuchasco-op,internship,directedresearchorcommunityprojectrelatedtothestudent’sprofessionalgoalsB.S.inInnovationandEntrepreneurshipThismajorisdesignedtoleverageexistingstrengthsinInnovationandEntrepreneurshipbyofferingstudentsacross-disciplinary,flexiblemajorthatprovidesstudentswiththeknowledgeandskillsto:•Developandmanagetheinnovationprocess;•Planandcommercializeinnovations;•Evaluateandmanageinnovationopportunities;•Participateinandmanageideationandthenewproductdevelopmentprocess;•Understandthelegalandpolicyissuesassociatedwithnewventures;and•Stimulateandmanagethecreationofnewbusinessenterprisesbothwithinandexistingcorporatestructureandasstart-upenterprises.Towardthisend,studentsarerequiredtohavefundamentalknowledgeofthecreativeprocess,marketanalysisandresearch,consumerbehavior,commercializationandorganizationaldesign.Studentsmaythenalsochoosetodeepentheirknowledgebyfurtherstudyinnegotiations,e-business,venturefinance,managementoftechnologyandprojectmanagement.StudentsearningadegreeinInnovationandEntrepreneurshipmustcompletetheClarksonCommonExperienceandcomplete120creditsincludingthefollowing:33creditsofClarksonCommonExperiencerequirements(includingtheClarksonSeminar,twomathematicscourses{calculusandstatistics},twosciencecourses{oneofwhichmustincludealab},fiveknowledgeareacourses,andatechnologycourse);42creditsoffoundationcourseworkinbusiness;30creditsofspecializedbusiness
