From Brain Surgery to the Superbowl: Internship Opportunities at Rose-Hulman Ventures
One thing we pride ourselves on here at Rose-Hulman is providing our students real-world experience and exceptional internship opportunities.
And our guest today is passionate about fostering innovation and solutions-oriented product design right here on campus. Brian Dougherty is the Senior Director of Rose-Hulman Ventures, a product design, rapid prototyping and development firm located on Rose-Hulman’s south campus. He is also a Rose alum from the class of 1993!
Today, Brian will share what Rose Ventures is all about with our student hosts Isaac and Reese.
He highlights the variety of projects students are working on through the program from software development to medical devices, and how these challenging projects prepare students for the workforce.
Creating a best internship experience at Rose-Hulman Ventures
09:15: People are sometimes shocked or a little skeptical of this, but the truth is that an internship experience at Ventures is among the best in the world. And primarily because myself and the full-time engineering staff down there—well, the whole staff down there—our jobs exist to make it the best internship in the world...09:49 So unless that company invests heavily in their internship culture, which some do, a lot of times, that experience can be a little bit lacking. So the way we create that experience, though, is by putting our interns in positions where they have to deliver.
What’s unique about Rose-Hulman Ventures?
30:19: That intersection of driving that value for the client. In a real project in a way that maybe the student interns never had any idea that they could even do.
That's where that educational opportunity happens. And we're unique in doing that. We've been doing it for a long time now, and we've been a very open book about how we do it, but it's really a testament to the culture of Rose-Hulman that most other schools haven't really figured it out yet.
Rose-Hulman Ventures is an engine for driving innovation
24:32: Rose-Hulman Ventures is an engine for driving innovation for our clients. So usually, they have an entrepreneurial idea but no idea how to make it work. They don't have the resources, the building blocks, or the skills that they need to figure out how to make this idea come to reality. And we do that.
