The Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen in the George R. Brown School of Engineering provides a space and programs to enable undergraduate students to design, prototype and deploy solutions to real-world engineering challenges. To create the full circle of real world experience that has societal impact, interdisciplinary teams tackle problems proposed by industry, the community, partners in the Texas Medical Center and abroad. The OEDK is more than a place where design happens — it is also a hub of activity and a social center that emphasizes creativity and experimentation. The next generation of engineers will face incredible challenges that will require them to have more than a deep understanding of engineering fundamentals — they also must have the ability to work in and lead diverse teams during all phases of the design and technology development process and to effectively communicate ideas. The OEDK offers different programs which give the students opportunities to get a deeper and even more well-rounded design experience. By supporting OEDK, you invest in our student leaders experiential learning through design projects, summer design experiences, leadership roles workshops, design challenges and outreach opportunities.
Every gift, no matter small or large, makes an impact.
Whether you choose to give back through an annual gift, establishing an endowment or supporting another funding priority, every dollar counts. In fact, most gifts to Rice Engineering are less than $1,000 but together they add up to millions for student awards, academics, research and programs so we can educate leaders and tackle grand challenges. If you are interested in discussing how you can make a non-cash gift such as appreciated stock, Donor Advised Fund (DAF), IRA Charitable Rollover, or through a deferred gift vehicle such as a bequest, please contact engdev@rice.edu and we would love to help facilitate that donation.
Your official tax receipt will automatically be sent to the email address you provide. Your investment provides a distinctive academic experience that encourages top research from our faculty and prepares our graduates to lead and succeed throughout their careers.
