Rose-Hulman to House International Partnership

An international partnership created to expand education to meet the increasing need for engineers to work in the rapidly growing field of wireless technology has moved its operations to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, according to the institute's news bureau.

The Global Wireless Education Consortium (GWEC) which was created 10 years ago and previously located in Arlington, Virginia will be headquartered in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Rose-Hulman.

GWEC will continue to serve as a central point of contact for new teaching materials, recruitment opportunities for business and industry, and internships for students, according to GWEC Chief Operating Officer Fred Berry, who is a professor and head of the ECE department.

Berry noted that discussion is underway to conduct the first GWEC Summit in 2008.
