constrained optimization online communication engineering statics economic theories mathematics economics researchLooking 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.
Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the students and the organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:
- A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
- A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations

Project Examples
Students in groups of 2-3 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.
Project activities that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Understand a wide range of mathematical methods used by economists in academia and industry.
- Develop simple mathematical models of social phenomena.
- Write a simple but well developed report with quantitative and qualitative analysis.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
A representative of the company will be available to answer questions from students in a timely manner for the duration of the project.
A representative of the company will be available for a pre-selection discussion with the administrator of the course to review the project scope.
