The Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen (OEDK) provides a space for undergraduate STEM students to design, prototype and deploy solutions to real-world engineering challenges. The OEDK is a 20,000-square-foot space, including a central work area with over 75 work tables, conference rooms, a classroom, a wet lab, rapid prototyping equipment, large format printers, designated woodworking area, a machine shop, and access to a welding shop. OEDK provides a collaborative hub where STEM students tackle real-world design challenges, many of which are proposed by industry and partners in the Texas Medical Center and abroad.
==Entrepreneurship in OEDK==*OEDK encourages entrepreneurship through the senior design projects that are required of most Rice engineering students.*“The [[http://oedkVenture Challenge]] is a key component of the 'entrepreneurship pipeline' we are building for undergraduates.riceStudents test their ideas at the [[November Elevator Pitch Competition]] and receive honest feedback from judges on their commercial potential.edu/statisticsWith expert mentoring from the Rice Alliance, they refine their ideas into full business plans for the Rice University Venture Challenge,” said Mark Embree, director of [[Rice Center for Engineering Leadership| Usage StatisticsRCEL]]and professor of computational and applied mathematics. *The OEDK curriculum offers an educational environment where students can learn business planning and entrepreneurship as well as communication skills, through interdisciplinary design projects and interaction with industry professionals.
