Hands-On Experiences With SPEED Teams
There’s no better way to get hands-on engineering experience than by joining one of our 13 SPEED (Student Projects for Engineering Experience & Design) teams, which are 100% run by students.
Why Participate in SPEED?
4
Clarkson's SPEED Teams have captured four national championships in the past six years.
Design, Build, Fly, SAE Clean Snowmobile, & Construction Management took home top honors.
Fact: 100% of SPEED Teams are student-run. Students manage everything from recruiting members and setting budgets to bringing designs to life. Teams average 15 to 20 members, so participants build skills in leadership, teamwork and communication.
Fact: Employers demand SPEED skills. Get real-world experience that looks great on a résumé and attests to your ability to strategize, solve problems and achieve results. And, because many teams are sponsored by companies that hire Clarkson students for internships and jobs, SPEED can give your career a boost.

Face a New Challenge
Each of our 13 SPEED Teams centers on addressing a unique challenge. Uncover a solution by applying classroom lessons to an in-depth, months-long project that pits you against some of the nation's best thinkers and doers. In the process, you collaborate with other students, exchange ideas and make friends for life.
