Is it time for IU to buy

[indy1203]

Rose Hulman? An engineering school would enhance
IU academically by offering a more varied curriculum,
a curriculum more in tune with the needs of 2018 and
beyond job market. An engineering school would seem
to go hand and hand with a school of medicine now and
in the future.

I did not look it up but I suspect that IU is one if not
the only school in the B10 not to offer an engineering
degree.

Now the real reason why IU needs an engineering
school in my opinion, the opportunity for an
engineering degree would attract more athletes
than say a degree in English Lit., not talking about
those athletes destined for the NFL or NBA but
those with above average athletic talent destined
for the job market. jmo

IU's Kelley is one of the best business schools in the country. I think that provides plenty of enticement for student-athletes. Ask Nick Linder, for one.

It certainly is an interesting possibility. Is it a possibility for this to happen? Has there been any discussion of this?

One thing that floats in my mind, is . . . "Is there such a thing as a school being TOO big?"

No argument here about Kelley, but instead of
the next Jamie Dimon what if the athlete would
prefer to be the guy that invents the new
improved Jarvik heart?

Is it a possibility, I am not aware of any thing
in the works or even talk about the possibility.
I started thinking about it after PU bought
Kaplan College.

Too big, it seems to work for UM, Penn State
& Ohio State to name a few.

IU announced an intention to explore a limited engineering curriculum a number of years ago but that initiative was quickly tabled in deference to the long term public cooperation between Indiana and Purdue to provide complementary degree programs wherever possible and feasible. That’s dissolved somewhat (both have well respected business schools, as an example, though each retains a distinct “flavor”), and there was s additions overlap in other disciplines. But Iu has graduate law and medical schools while Purdue has engineering, agriculture, etc.

IU would never acquire RH (if that was even possible), let alone do it for athletic reasons.

lol, I would never expect IU to make the purchase
for athletic reasons, it would just be lets say
an unintended consequence.

Interesting suggestion. Rose would be an excellent addition. A Rose Hulman degree is considered more prestigious than a PU degree, at least in Electrical Engineering.

Plus, it would just piss off PU to no end. So that right there is a good reason to do it!

This is nice RBB but this is only a computer engineering program that is just getting off the ground. It has nothing to do with Mechanical, Civil, Industrial or Chemical Engineering which is where almost all engineering students reside today.

I think it is a good idea for the future for IU and it may be an avenue to open the other disciplines in the future, but Purdue fought this move hard and lost. They will no doubt double their efforts if IU were to attempt an expansion into the real engineering areas.

Sounds like a win/win situation to me.

Sounds like a good start. I have a friend
that was in the IU informatics program
and received multiple job offers years
before graduation.

Oh I know but I think it’s the best we’re going to get.

 

[jayhoosdogbuff]

iI think it’s crazy tha IU doesn’t offer an engineering curriculum - and that’s not what the Informatics school is by the way
When “I went to IU 35 years ago it was said PU did but
IU offered many programs PU didn’t _ well, I’m guessing not too many majors anyone gives a damn about.
An competitive engineering program can only be a win in my book.

One school has a world famous engineering program. The other is Rose-Hulman.

Does IU offer a degree in English Lit? And I was once told that the state commission on higher ed decided to create Purdue and split the disciplines that the two schools teach. And that's why IU doesn't have an engineering school or an ag school and why the medical school is IU's and the vet school is Purdue's and why the Krannert School should not exist.
It might have been York Wilburn who told me that ...

There is some truth in this, as I mentioned in an earlier post, and it directly relates to the considerable state funding that has inured to both schools and the desire for them to complement the other in terms of offerings. Purdue's business school somewhat stepped over that line, though it's generally had more of an engineering and manufacturing focus in contrast to IU's. Both, by the way, are well regarded.

Because you posted this on the Football board, you must have had some sentiment about how this combination would benefit IU football. Care to share?

Much like me, I'm guessing he's still frustrated at our clearly getting worked in our missing on that 5'9" 150 DB from North White...!!! While we didn't actually officially offer the guy, we "true" fans know that means the Rose just beat our fanny recruiting-wise...
That no offer ploy is just a smokescreen...

Actually, I think it's a good idea for both schools... Screw pu if they don't like it. Did they check with IU before opening Krannert?

You need to get out more, Pat. The Rose grads I know all have staff of PU grads that report to them.

Get out where, to Richmond, Columbus, Seymour? You need to get out of Indiana. Trust me, when I do business in Canada and throughout Europe and Asia, no one is asking about Rose-Hulman

Yes, in Indiana, where they know both PU and Rose grads.

Rose is a small school - they don't crank out Engineers like a production line, a la PU.

I've done a lot of business in Europe. Trust me when I tell you they haven't heard of PU, either.

 

[PatKline]

Yes, well, it would be highly unusual for the brothels of Eastern Europe to have a need for the best trained engineers in the world. However, if you visit a research facility, board room, or government agency, your results might be different.

I'd say the brothels of Eastern Europe provide far more professional service than the average PU grad.

I defer to your expertise on the brothels of Eastern Europe. I, of course, have no experience there.

However, my profession brings me into frequent contact with the best and brightest scientists throughout the world, over multiple generations, jurisdictions, and disciplines, and I can assure you that a Purdue engineering degree is highly respected, to the point of worship.

 

[82hoosier]

I think it’s a great idea to provide students athletes the opportunity to earn an engineering degree while at the same time attending a University with an attractive campus and coeds.

 

[Crimson Crush]

Purdue engineering program is solid. Nobody will deny that. However, it is ranked behind the University of Illinois and Univ of Michigan in our own conference and MIT, Stanford, Cal, Georgia Tech and Carnegie Mellon nationally. What Purdue engineering probably offers among all is more bang for the buck. A lot of those schools ranked above Purdue have out-of-state tuition that is nearly double that for Purdue.
A solid degree that is highly regarded but not necessarily as prestigious as others. It still will net it’s undergrads a solid career.

"a Purdue engineering degree is highly respected, to the point of worship"

Is that the same religion that sacrifices small animals?

 

[Courtsensetwo]

You may want to look at some data on this before making yourself look foolish. RH is a very highly respected engineering school..very.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Indiana has BS, MS and PhD programs in Intelligent Systems Engineering, a market-driving interdisciplinary concept that blends information management with numerous engineering disciplines including computer, molecular and others.

The programs are preparing future industry leaders with cross-functional skills unlike the traditional disciplines of mechanical, electrical and aerospace. Purdue does those things well, but this opportunity prepares for start up and corporate leadership. It is very well positioned.

I understand that there are some extremely remote areas of the 3rd world where they are revered but mostly for the fact that they don't need to be tenderized prior to roasting....

Rose-Hulman is a fine institution; however, its reputation is regional. Purdue, on the other hand, is recognized as not just one of the best engineering schools in the country but in the entire world.

No one is passing up a chance at a Purdue or Rose-Hulman BSE to get an interdisciplinary degree.

Uhh...Yeah... I'm certain the cannibals of Papau still speak highly of you fellows in the part of the world where time seems to stand still...

Most of the rest of the world has moved on but I understand they still "worship" you guys and can't wait for your return...

I heard that there was a small smattering of their language that was only just translated involved in their pur-n-gin-ear ceremony: "next time I hope they bring some hot sauce".
