National Spotlight Continues To Shine On Rose-Hulman
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
continues to receive national recognition
on several fronts.
- For the ninth consecutive
year, Rose-Hulman was
ranked as America’s best
college or university that
offers the bachelor’s or master’s degree
as its top degree in engineering, according
to a national survey of deans and
senior faculty conducted by U.S. News
& World Report. In addition, every
Rose-Hulman engineering degree program
that is included in the survey also
retained its number one ranking. Those
programs are chemical, civil, computer,
electrical and mechanical engineering.
The departments have been ranked as
the best each of the eight years the
departmental rankings have been
conducted.
- Rose-Hulman Institute is listed among
the “100 Best Colleges” in the October
2007 issue of CosmoGirl magazine.
The list, created
using baseline data
provided by the
Princeton Review,
identifies America’s top co-ed colleges
and universities based on what experts
recommended as the best all-around
criteria for young women: small class
sizes, great job-placement programs,
leadership opportunities, prominent faculty
and strong women’s sports teams,
according to CosmoGirl’s editors.
- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology’s
leadership role in adapting electronic
E-portfolios to sharpen its educational
mission, broaden students’ skills,
improve graduates’ job-placement rates,
and give the institution better ammunition
for proving its worth to accreditors
was highlighted in a spring issue of The
Chronicle of Higher Education, the
nation’s top publication for higher education
information. In that article, senior
reporter Paul Basken points out that
Rose-Hulman is one of a small but
growing number of institutions using
an old idea – the long-term compilation
of student classwork – in a new computerized
format that lets the college
directly score student performance campuswide
on a list of specific skills.
- Rose-Hulman Institute of
Technology’s dedication to
providing students individual
attention and great
classroom experiences has
been highlighted in the March issue of
Design News magazine regarding the
crisis in engineering education. The
national magazine highlights Rose-
Hulman for being “a small, elite”
college that offers a “successful alternative
to the big university model.” Editor
John Dodge points out that Rose-
Hulman is focused on “turning out a
well-rounded individual instead of
someone maxed out in math and
science in their respective field or
students victimized by more bad
instructors than good.”
