TheResidential Option for Science and Engineering Students (ROSES) program provides studentswith not only close proximity to fellow engineers through centralized housing, but classes thatgroup these students together in math, physics, and chemistry. The students are also required toenroll for a customized engineering course housed in the College of Engineering.
