Working With Us

We offer project engagement as a way for businesses and organizations to connect with the technical expertise at Rose-Hulman Ventures. Whether your organization is an emerging company immersed in bringing new products to market or an established organization in need of supplementing your engineering expertise, our talented students and unique project management approach deliver technical solutions that help to shape your business.

The Process of Project Engagement

Clients
Technology-based companies face a variety of challenges in their efforts to achieve success in today’s increasingly competitive marketplace.  The problem of bringing the right products and solutions to market quickly and efficiently is a universal challenge.   Often, companies need additional competencies and technical resources to achieve these goals.  Rose-Hulman Ventures understands the close link between business success and the right technical solutions.  To help you achieve success, we provide technical assistance to small and large technology-based companies through project agreements involving Rose-Hulman students, faculty, and project managers.

Scope

Our client companies define the project.  We work together to analyze your needs, discuss our capabilities, and then define a project scope agreement.  We work to ensure project agreements provide an outstanding educational experience for our students as well as deliver valuable project results to the client company.  Projects may last from one month for a simple task to a multi-student team working for months on larger projects.  Project schedules are not tied to the academic calendar of the Institute.   We adhere to client specifications and industry standards while identifying optimal tools and technologies to help your business succeed.

Students and Faculty
We assemble the team for your project with Rose-Hulman students, faculty, and project managers.  Leading the multi-disciplinary student project teams are full-time project managers or Rose-Hulman faculty members.  Students are hired for a specific project by matching their skills and interests to the project needs.  Students work part-time during the school year and full-time during the summer months.  In collaboration with project managers and the client, students discover opportunities to learn in the context of real projects in a professional environment while being responsible for deliverables.

Infrastructure

We are located on the south campus of Rose-Hulman in a 35,000 square foot facility at Aleph Park, a Certified Technology Park.  Our strengths include modeling, prototyping, and simulation across a variety of applications and our office and laboratory facilities are allocated to the needs of your project. We also have access to the facilities and laboratories of the main campus of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. 

Funding and Fees

In engineering services agreements, clients cover the cost of student time and project materials with time charged at rates comparable to a new engineering hire. Discounts are available for extended project agreements. We deliver value to both small and large companies through engineering services agreements.

When an agreement is finalized, we’ll create a customized plan for you. This is where you will receive the full benefit of experienced and talented students, faculty and project managers who will develop a solution to your project on-time and on-budget
