<p>Students currently attending can answer please?</p>
<p>For ME students what % of exams or tests are Multiple choice; vs % of grade that is based on class projects/lab projects. For a school with a professed hands on approach does this also equate to grading those hands on experiences or projects for students with diff. learning styles?</p>
<p>How available is tutoring for student with learning differences or those that did not get 700 + on SAT's (math etc.)</p>
<p>Are there any internships, research , or co-op learning opportunities during the year?</p>
<p>Can students take classes during the summer if they wish to do a arranged winter internship?</p>
<p>How large are the lower div. core classes? Have any of you gone abroad for a term?
Or is it possible to take a leave for a term and not fall out of sequence to work/study abroad?</p>
<p>Thanks for a future reply..........Oh.....what does everyone do on winter weekends, or 3 day weekend who does not have a home w/in driving distance? Chicago? Or?</p>
<p>Great questions. I’ll start and the current students can finish.</p>
<p>I have contacted the ME Department Head about the first question and will pass on what he says in his response…stay tuned.</p>
<p>Tutoring is free and available in the Learning Center Monday through Friday 9 am-4:50 pm and Sunday through Thursday 7-10 pm.</p>
<p>Internships, by our definition, are only during the summer. Co-op work experiences occur when other students are back on campus attending classes. Research happens year round.</p>
<p>Rose-Hulman only offers 2 or 3 classes most summers, which is not enough to offset a winter co-op job.</p>
<p>Largest class, period (Chem 1), is 34 students.</p>
<p>No such thing as a three day weekend here. Classes are in session for Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, MLK Day, etc. There is one four day weekend that is in the middle of fall quarter called Fall Break.</p>
<p>Current students will need to fill in the rest…look for their insights. If there is anything else I can answer, just let me know.</p>

<p>Heard back from the ME department head. Here is his response to your question:</p>
<p>"Most ME course exams are problem-based meaning you need to apply some sort of engineering/science analysis to answer the question.</p>
<p>Some of these exams have multiple choice problems or questions that require a written answer. I don’t have a good feel for what % of our problems fall under this category.</p>
<p>A broad course grade definition and weight to determine the final course grade would be 75% Exam, 15% Lab, 10% HW. And this varies b/c some courses are all lab, some have no labs.</p>
<p>All course work/exams are graded on the same standard, independent of learning style or learning disability. Students with documented disabilities can request additional exam time."</p>
<p>Well I myself has been accepted into Rose Hulman, tough only 500 can get in. Anyways, I heard that it is kind of in a depressing area for a college town and it only offers a bachelor.
But it is ranked very highly for engineering, and I was wondering credits I earn now throw my Project Lead the Way courses how they
would transfer over. Also what about sports on
top of this. Having heard the rigourous work
load, the football coach gave me a call the
other day and I expressed concern in this. I
like engineering, but at this point I don’t know
whether to attend Rose where you pretty much
have to do engineering, or other schools like
Wisconsin or Purude where they offer strong programs in engineering that are past undergrad, on top of other strong suits like business in case I don’t want to do engineering. It will for sure be a tough decision, but the appeal of a number 1 engineering school is especially strong with me coming from a school which every student has a laptop, very engineering and technology orientated, and the only school in Milwaukee, WI to offer biomedical engineering. Thanks for hearing me out.</p>
<p>I can’t answer whether the town is depressing…that is for every person to decide, but our graduation rate is amongst the highest in the country for engineering. So if it is depressing anyone, it’s not enough to make them leave. Unfortunately, we do not offer credit for PTLW courses.</p>
<p>As for sports, close to 60% of our student body were varsity athletes in high school. It is a very athletic campus…much more so than most people initially expect. 30% of our students are NCAA athletes for us. The graduation rate for our athletes is higher than it is for the overall student population. They do very well both on and off the field.</p>
<p>Oh, and we offer Masters degrees in every engineering area so it isn’t just a bachelor’s school. Our engineering programs are amongst the largest in the country, i.e. our Biomedical Engineering department is one of only 71 ABET accredited programs in the country and first in Indiana, and our Masters in Biomedical Engineering has been offered even longer than the Bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>If you have any other questions, please let me know.</p>
