MathEcon: leveraging data to tackle societal challenges
EC313
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Clarkson University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are able to understand and apply mathematical concepts and techniques in the context of economics. The course will build upon basic economic theory and mathematical concepts to focus on topics such as: static/equilibrium analysis, comparative statics, unconstrained and constrained optimization, and applications involving uncertainty and strategic behavior. Projects with a focus on environmental sustainability and policies are of special interest.
Smart Sourcing: Category Analysis and Supplier Evaluation
OM/EM371
Take your organization to the next level with student-consultants from Clarkson University! Our project-based experience allows students to work on a main project throughout the semester, connecting with you through virtual communication tools as needed. These students have in-depth knowledge of supply and demand processes, enabling them to conduct a category analysis of purchases/spending. This analysis covers short- and long-term availability and costs for the category. Additionally, they excel in supplier evaluation and selection, creating suitable metrics based on criteria such as financial health, cost, quality, delivery, innovation, and best practices. The result? A comprehensive evaluation of vendors and a top alternative recommendation.
Supply Chain Environmental Management
OM671
Companies increasingly adopt supply chain strategies and practices to advance environmental and business objectives. However, the cost-benefits of these environmental initiatives are difficult to evaluate. This course aims to provide the skills to understand and assess these issues by helping students learn the critical elements of environmentally responsible supply chain management. The tools and skills related to green/environmental design, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and services in supply chain operations. The pedagogical approach involves a mix of lectures, journal article readings, in-class discussion, case studies, textbook chapter reviews, and term project. Reh School ’s Mission Statement We integrate high-impact, interdisciplinary scholarship with teaching excellence to develop business leaders who combine business acumen, analytical thinking, technical expertise, and a global perspective to benefit business and society.
Category Analysis + Supplier Selection
EM/OM 371
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Clarkson University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this course have an in-depth knowledge of the supply and demand process and will use their insight to perform a category analysis. A category analysis answers questions about the short- and long-term availability and cost for the category. The other aspect of the project is about supplier evaluation and selection process. This includes developing an appropriate metric for supplier selection for example financial health of the supplier, best practices, cost, quality and delivery history of the supplier. Based on these aspects, the vendors can be evaluated and a best alternative can be suggested.

Engineering and Management Capstone
EM 456
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Clarkson University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. This course a culminating technical experience for students who have completed a foundation engineering science education (i.e. mechanical, chemical, and electrical courses that are required by traditional engineering majors). Primarily designed for Engineering and Management (E&M) program, this capstone course will involve a real world technical problem that requires application of the knowledge gained in previous engineering science and management courses, along with process design principles.
Healthcare services analysis or consulting project
HC 637
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Clarkson University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this course will work on small scale analysis of specific healthcare project in a hospital, medical practice, health insurance plan, private company serving healthcare sector. Typical projects would involve improving efficiency of some organizational practice, marketing a product or service, developing recommendations for assisting healthcare workforce, or organizational response to public health issues and trends. Students would research and assess the problem, research best practices or generate new ideas, and make recommendations. A project will be completed by a team of 4 students. 10 weeks, beginning April 1, 2022.
