Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers make an impact in almost every aspect of modern society. It's hard to think of something that exists in our world that a mechanical engineer hasn't had a hand in designing or producing. As a mechanical engineering major, you can look forward to good job prospects, a high salary and varied work. 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. You'll gain hands-on experience working on projects alongside world-class faculty members, whose research activities cover a wide range of areas, from optimizing luge sleds for the U.S. Olympic Luge Association to creating the newest ducted wind turbine technology. As a mechanical engineering graduate, you'll leave Clarkson with the ability to apply principles of engineering, science and mathematics to model, analyze, design and realize physical systems.

Official secondary school transcript, mark sheets or national exam scores. If you have already taken graduation exams, you must provide the result report. This includes WASSCE (West Africa), CAPE (Caribbean), Grade 12 boards (South Asia), etc. Two letters of recommendation. Personal statement or essay (250-650 words). Test optional: SAT/ACT scores. If submitted, the scores will be taken into consideration during the admissions process. Clarkson also accepts self-reported test scores. Clarkson SAT code: 2084, Clarkson ACT code: 2698. SAT/ACT- Clarkson strongly recommends that international applicants provide SAT/ACT scores. International applicants may send unofficial SAT or ACT scores. These may include scores reported by you on the CommonApp, those that appear on your high school transcript, or scanned copies uploaded in your application.
