The BIC & KIC comprise nearly 30,000 square feet of multidisciplinary workspace where student project and competition teams design, develop, and bring their ideas to life.
Cross-Cutting Programs
In the real world, you’ll work with people from a variety of disciplines. That’s why we’ve built cross-cutting programs and emerging opportunities into the Rose‑Hulman experience. Students and faculty can enhance their understanding through a hands-on approach, and apply it in the real-world. Learn about our cross-cutting programs below.

Cross-Cutting Programs
Consulting Engineering Program
This program is a supplement that can enhance a student's traditional engineering degree with selected courses beneficial to students interested in consulting engineering careers.
Data Science
We offer a multidisciplinary minor in data science, one of the fastest growing disciplines in the United States.
Engineers Without Borders
Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is a multi-national, non-profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to improving life for people living in developing countries through sustainable engineering projects.
ESCALATE
Join students from a variety of disciplines in this living-learning community with a special focus on entrepreneurship.
Grand Challenges
We have joined the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenge Scholars program to tackle some of the world's toughest problems.
HiSHiP
A collaboration of the electromagnetics and high-speed design, micro- and nanoscale devices and systems, and silicon photonics groups, the HiShip laboratory is a design, simulation, fabrication, and measurement facility used in projects with industry and collaborative applied research with other outside groups.
iGEM
Rose-Hulman students can participate in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, known as the premier collegiate synthetic biology event.
