Sustainable Engineering
at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

Sustainable engineering rests on the triple bottom line: people, environment, and economics. A life-cycle approach to engineering requires a substantial understanding of engineering principles; therefore, HERE students will have both a solid background in engineering fundamentals and the experience of a sustainable approach.

HERE: A living-learning community
focused on sustainability

In addition to your excellent Rose-Hulman engineering, science and mathematics education, you will:

  • Enjoy a unique educational and residential environment focused on sustainability
     

  • Learn how to use specialized materials assessment software, such as EduPack 2011
     

  • Design and implement real sustainable engineering projects on the Rose- Hulman campus, courtesy of a grant from Procter & Gamble
     

  • Work with faculty from engineering, sciences, and humanities with expertise in sustainability studies
     

  • “With a growing concern in industry for sustainability from both an environmental and an economic perspective, students will benefit from early exposure to sustainable engineering solutions.” – Dr. Kathleen Toohey, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
