About
Founded in 2009, RCEL’s mission is to prepare engineers to become inspiring leaders, exceptional team members, effective communicators, and bold entrepreneurs. RCEL enhances a traditional engineering education by providing skills not typically covered in the Rice engineering curriculum. Through a series of curricular and co-curricular learning experiences, RCEL students learn to create and communicate a vision, build a high-performing team, form and execute collaborative plans, and create innovations that endure.

Certificate in Engineering Leadership
The Engineering Leadership Certificate is an accredited academic credential aimed at preparing students for leadership roles after graduation. The program supplements the core curriculum of the School of Engineering, allowing students to learn fundamentals of engineering leadership, practice their leadership skills while participating in engineering-based hands-on activities, give and receive coaching, and critically reflect on their leadership experiences through a series of structured self-assessments.
The Engineering Leadership Certificate requires all students to participate in a qualifying summer internship, by enrolling in ENGI 241 - Professional Excellence for Engineers.
