Here at Rose-Hulman, we really believe in hands-on experience, and our innovation center are filled with opportunities to get dirty. In this podcast episode, we are digging into Rose Hulman's Branam Innovation Center (BIC) and Kremer Innovation Center (KIC).
For this conversation, we are joined by Lee Dagle, the administrative assistant for the BIC, the KIC, and engineering design, as well as Garrett Hart, a Rose-Hulman electrical engineering student who is very involved in the BIC as well.
Lee & Garrett chat with our student hosts Isaac and Reese all about how these centers provide students with tangible experiences, fostering innovative thinking and practical learning outside the classroom. They discuss how the centers enable students to express their passions and have an accessible platform to experiment and take risks, and share a bit about what all the student teams at the BIC and the KIC are working on lately.
Episode Quotes:
The whole mission of BIC
16:42 [Lee Dagle] Our role is simply to assist you. We are to assist you to do the best that you can do to get to competition and compete with all the other, whether they're large or small. We want to empower you. [The] bottom line is we want you to gain the skills and have all the knowledge in manufacturing, creating, revising, and learning how to pivot when you fail. Basically, we want you to become a better engineer before you even graduate.
How passion fuels success in the BIC and KIC
23:19: [Lee Dagle] It's your passion. What is your passion? And I think that the BIC and the KIC shine when the students come down with their passion, and this is what they love, and we're going to do what we can to help them be successful.
The power of a maker space mindset
24:32: [Garrett Hart] When you put a bunch of people in a building, that is just a huge maker space that also has the mindset and ideology of, like, just ask, and they'll stop what they're doing and drop what they're doing to help you or even work with you for, like, this multi-year effort of developing rocket engines, you can do so much there.
