Engineering Clinics

The Clinic concept is the signature facet of Rowan's unique engineering curriculum. Inspired by the medical education model, the clinic program is the place where students, faculty, theory and engineering applications converge. It's the place where students experience a hands-on approach to learning about engineering, under the guidance of credentialed engineers. Clinics are a continuous and substantial part of the curriculum and thread the entire four-year undergraduate program.

Clinics deliver the following goals of the engineering curriculum:

Hands on - Students apply what they are learning about.
Integrated - Demonstrate correlations with supporting course work.
Multidisciplinary - Involve students as a community of problem solvers.
Teamwork - Emphasize the advantage of effective teaming.
Communication - Develop excellent oral and written communication skills.
Entrepreneurial - Reinforce value-based engineering.
Contextual - Help students understand the big picture.

First Year and Sophomore Year Clinics

Background and Partners

Junior / Senior Engineering Clinics in ChE

Junior and Senior Clinic is four consecutive semesters where students have the opportunity to choose a project they are interested in. Students can change their project each semester or stay on the same one for several years. This unique program provides students with real world experience in solving real problems that companies and engineers face every day. In many of these projects, students work closely with outside companies in industry to help them solve issues and create innovative ideas that have never been tackled before. Students are using their years of training to work with organizations and research teams which will help them make that transition from education to a industrial and or researched based setting. These projects tend to be very hands-on and get students working in the lab with researchers and other engineers. When these clinic projects are running and you witness over 100 teams working together, it is a very exciting time to be in the College of Engineering at Rowan University.
