SMU

As a nationally-ranked private university with seven degree-granting schools, Southern Methodist University (SMU)’s strategic commitment to applying its resources to solve real world problems and its expertise in the science and art of innovation make the school a natural partner for RFSW. With the insight that creativity and innovation should be the forefront of building a sustainable workforce, the Bobby B. Lyle School of Engineering at SMU has grown 400 % in eight years. The Lyle School’s Deason Innovation Gym (within the Caruth Institute for Engineering Education) is a creative space for students, faculty and staff dedicated to fostering the science of innovation and using it to impact the community.
