Clarkson Construction Engineering Management Consulting Group (C3G)

 

As a part of commitment by the Clarkson CEM Program to hands-on and co-curricular education, Director Erik Backus along with Bill Olsen and Jim Billings launched the Clarkson CEM Consulting Group in 2017.  This in-house Clarkson University capability provides pre-professional consulting in planning, engineering, and construction areas.  This business enterprise uses students in an experiential learning mode in order to deliver products that the targeted market segments would not be otherwise able to conduct using professional consulting services.  Likewise, these efforts help to build community economic opportunities by jumpstarting projects that would otherwise not be able to be done absent some key preliminary work.  The goal has been to generate further professional work and efforts that can aid in the development of a more robust North Country economy.
