"Working together with multi perspectives we get a better perspective." -Dr. Particia Brackin


"In our country, more of the exercises may be about knowledge, but in America it is more about the practice or the project.

Aware of the differences, Chinese college students visited Rose-Hulman and worked on projects with American students, studying Rose-Hulman's approach to hands-on learning.  Facilitating the exchange were Professors Jianjian Song, a native of China, and Patricia Brackin.

"Theory without practice doesn't work, but practice without theory is very inefficient, said Brackin. Blending two learning approaches in this way is just one example of enrichment through diversity.

"This is the culmination of what we went to school for." -EJ Oruche.

Oruche was the electronics specialist on the team that gave 5 year-old Michael Amerman a robotic arm.  The young boy reacted to his new dexterity aid: "Mommy I look like a robotwith this new arm!  Can I keep it?"  Having been part of the arm control's design, Oruche responed, " We wanted it to be fun for him."  As a result, the team included a joystick element in the control.
