<h2> Student innovation and entrepreneurship </h2>
<h3>Introduction:</h3>
<p>Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is an engineering school with approximately 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Located in Terre Haute, IN, Rose-Hulman provides a variety of clubs and coursework promoting innovative solutions. Although innovation is integrated into the culture of Rose-Hulman, entrepreneurship is beginning to create a presence on campus.</p> </p><p>"I think that this school encourages professionalism and self drive, but not entrepreneurship exactly. I think that this school focuses on getting students ready to become innovators, but doesn't give them the skills to embody the mentality of an entrepreneur through classes.Not so say that some students aren't entrepreneurs, but that they gain this through their own accord."
