Rose-Hulman Ventures is focused on providing unique educational opportunities for our students by assisting technology-driven businesses in the development of new products and services.  Our project managers, student interns, and faculty provide the expertise to complete the design, prototyping and testing of commercial products and services.

We are steadfast in our commitment to offer students the best engineering professional practice experience possible within an academic program. That means hands-on projects in collaboration with companies where outcomes are both educational to students and value-added to companies.

That unique combination yields substantial results. Students capitalize on opportunities that empower them to make the transition from exceptional students to exceptional employees, ready to tackle any engineering challenge. Over 60 companies have launched new products or penetrated new markets as a direct result of that expertise.
We differentiate ourselves in the following ways:
