[500 words about Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is an institute for S.T.E.M. students, with the exception of an Economics as a double major. RHIT has approximately 1700 undergraduate students and approximately 100 graduate students. The faculty members at RHIT are teaching-oriented, and have long office hours for students. Many faculty members are heavily involved in extracurricular clubs. Innovation is <u>the</u> buzz word on RHIT campus. The “I” word is used in President Speeches, on the positive aspects back of t-shirts, and with every design-teams goal. The Dean of Innovation and Engagement, Bill Kline, provides as an excellent support for the newly built, Brahnam Innovation Center (BIC). &nbsp;The BIC is home to a multitude of competition teams. These teams include, but are not limited to: Human Powered Vehicle Team, Rose-Hulman Efficient Vehicles Team, Robotics Team, Concrete Canoe Club, Grand Prix, and Eco-Car. There are also a number of clubs and teams that are located elsewhere on campus. Battle bots, Linux Users Group, Engineers without Borders, and Odyssey of the Mind Club provide innovative experiences for both students and faculty. Students are also encouraged to engage themselves in independent research project. RHIT’s Independent Project/Research Opportunities Program (IP/ROP) is design to help a student with a desire for research and a faculty member tackle special project outside the required curriculum. Funding for these projects is provided by IP/ROP sponsor: ArcelorMittal. At the end of the quarter, students present their research at the End-of-Quarter Symposium. These students have access to the Myers Center for Learning & Research, a building with a MiNDS clean-room, biomedical labs, 3D print shop, and more. Entrepreneurship ecosystem is gaining a following on RHIT campus . Over the past 3 years, the development of a student group Rose Innovative Student Entrepreneurs (RISE), initiated by a UI Fellow Wilson Kurian, has generated the beginning of movement on campus. Rose StartUp, an all day workshop devoted to Speakers and small break-out session. RISE has also networked with local entrepreneurs in the two gaps you believe will enhance greater Indianapolis region to host Venture meetings. In these meetings, students and entrepreneurs can socialize and learn about the focus of the meeting. Entrepreneurship classes are also present within the Engineering Management Department. Ihave heard from a multitude of students that they have an interest in participating in this class. Unfortunately, some of these students do not have scheduling flexibility to take the prerequisites required for these classes. &E ecosystem nbsp;Another program on your RHIT’s campus]is the Leadership Advancement Program.&nbsp; This program provides students with educational opportunities for leadership that match their opportunities for developing technical skills. The program includes a Leadership Academy, Leadership Workshop Series, Case Study Competition, Crisis Simulations, and Leadership Speaker Series. RHIT can improve the overall quality of campus by enhancing the awareness and establishing fundamental elements of I&E to students. A strategy to complete this goal requires the addition of Non I&E courses, Inspirational venues such as StartUp Stories, and workshops teaching about patents, startups, and grant writing. Another strategy for RHIT would be to create an undergraduate incubator, a Fighting Engineers Angels group, and EnterPrize Development.
