Branam and Kremer Innovation Centers

Teams huddle ahead of intense competitions, clubs unveil new innovations, and individual students tweak their latest projects in the Branam and Kremer Innovation Centers. The spaces are alive with activity, with wide-open workspaces where students collaborate across majors and bring their ideas to life. 

The BIC and KIC aren't just places for people who are experienced builders and tinkerers. They host classes where you can learn the hands-on skills you need to make the inventions and projects you’re dreaming of. Some of our training opportunities include classes in welding, machining, and hand forging, and general shop practices and safety. 

Students also use the BIC and KIC for senior design projects and competition teams. Keep scrolling to learn more about these and other opportunities to practice innovation.

Experience Life in the BIC and KIC

The foundational knowledge you learn only gets you to the batter’s box. Now, you’ve got to do something with it. You’ve got to solve problems, you’ve got to innovate and you’ve got to come up with new products. And that’s what Rose does, and that’s where they excel. Not many colleges have that mindset.
