Through the generosity of J. B. Wilson, a prominent
consulting engineer of Indianapolis, a program was
established in 1973 to emphasize career opportunities in
the field of consulting engineering and to provide selected courses which would be beneficial to students interested
in consulting engineering careers. A Consulting
Engineering Council consisting of practicing consulting engineers and selected members of the faculty
administers this program.

Listed below is a program guide of recommended courses
for a student interested in consulting engineering. This is
not a degree program but is a supplement to the normal engineering degree programs. Some of the courses are in addition to the normal engineering degree programs and
may result in a student earning more credits than are
required for the B.S. degree in a specific discipline.

Students desirous of pursuing the Consulting Engineering Program should enroll in the Program by filing a
declaration-of-intent form with the Chairman of the Commission. In order to be certified as having completed
the Program, a student is required to successfully
complete the prescribed list of courses, complete the requirements for a degree in Engineering, and take the Fundamentals of Engineering examination prior to
graduation.

Upon completion of the program, the student will receive
a Certificate of Completion at the time of his graduation
from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Completion of the program will be noted on the student's official transcript
but not on the diploma.
