A day of entrepreneurial workshops followed by a chance to compete in an Investor Pitch competition, with intent to inspire Rice students to be the innovators and entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

SCREECH is an opportunity for graduate students to deliver a 90-second snapshot of their research. Competing participants will highlight the objectives and impact of the diverse graduate research projects being done in Rice University’s School of Engineering.

Now is your chance to show how beautiful engineering research can be! RCEL is sponsoring an engineering art contest that’s open to undergraduate and graduate students.

Don’t miss the chance to enter Rice’s first undergraduate entrepreneurship competition of the year! This competition is open to ANY undergraduate student or undergraduate team with a business concept or idea.

A group of engineers from industry will discuss technology, innovation, and how you can grow your career in technical roles. Also featured will be a cross-section of leaders from corporations and start-ups, and they will have broad backgrounds which cover multiple disciplines.

RCEL invites you to an evening with reddit.com founder Alexis Ohanian as part of his national tour to present his new book “Without Their Permission.”

How to Build Your Graduate Experience towards an UNCONVENTIONALLY Successful Engineering Career
Three distinguished panelists will speak from R&D experience:

“Developing Engineering Leaders: Effectiveness in the First Five,” will be hosted at Rice University and organized by the Rice Center for Engineering Leadership (RCEL), and will consist of interactive educational workshops, plenaries, networking exercises, and motivational reflections from distinguished engineers who are positively impacting the world today.

Since more than 2/3 of Engineering undergrads do research before they graduate, there are some good posters and potential posters out there that should be in the symposium. Participating gives you good practice in explaining to others what it is you are doing in research — particularly valuable if you’re planning on attending grad school!

Join other students and corporate representatives in a networking reception where you might just make the connection for a great internship for next summer!
