Engenius Solutions: Creating An Entrepreneurial Revolution At Rhit

Undergraduate engineering is changing at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology through Engenius Solutions. Funded by a grant from the Lilly Foundation, Engenius Solutions allocates financial and intellectual resources in an effort to help undergraduate engineers think like entrepreneurs as well as engineers in their careers. Project ideas are solicited from students, faculty, staff and the general public for evaluation by Engenius Solutions. Those ideas that meet the specific criteria establish by Engenius Solutions are accepted and the idea is then developed and prototyped by teams composed of undergraduate engineers. Engenius Solutions then provides the necessary resources to assist their clients in commercializing the developed idea. The organization is led by four undergraduate students who are overseen, but not hindered by, a group of six faculty and staff members.
