 Academic Approach and Educational Innovations
 Rensselaer is anchored by two vibrant roots:
 <ul>
 <li type="disc">
 One root, written into the <a href="http://www.rpi.edu/about/history.html" title="History" itemprop="url" target="_blank">school's founding documents</a>, is the application of science to the common purposes of life. This kept the focus on engineering solutions to national and international needs and challenges. <a href="http://www.rpi.edu/about/alumni/index.html" target="_blank" title="Rensselaer graduates" itemprop="url">Rensselaer graduates</a> constructed the canals, roads, bridges, skyscrapers, and basic infrastructure of America, which helped to form the basis for 20th century society.
 </li>
 <li type="disc">The second root, also built into the school's origin, was the employment of unique educational strategies. In the earliest days, after initial instruction, students taught what they knew to each other since teaching reinforces learning. Likewise, students performed scientific experiments rather than watch faculty conduct them, as had been the common practice.</li>
 </ul>
 
 
 The Rensselaer Plan 2024
 
 
 
 Armed with our intellects, our energy, and a bold vision for the future, we launched a process to realize the mission of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in new and tangible ways. We conceived and implemented <a href="http://www.rpi.edu/president/plan/index.html" target="_blank" itemprop="url" title="Summary">
 The Rensselaer Plan
 </a>, to bring new meaning, and new substance, to the question we ask ourselves as the first technological university in the nation: Why not change the world?
 
 We began our journey of transformation where necessity demanded. We have made major investments in our people, programs, platforms, and partnerships; and, together, we have brought about a true Renaissance at Rensselaer. These investments have enabled us to transform Rensselaer into a top-tier technological research university with global reach and global impact. That transformation serves as a solid foundation on which we will build even greater achievements in the future.
 
 Our journey of transformation continues, under <a href="http://www.rpi.edu/plan/summary.html" title="Summary" itemprop="url" target="_blank">
 The Rensselaer Plan 2024
 </a>. In the same spirit as its precursor, the revised Plan is evergreen, prepared to grow and evolve, as the Institute grows and evolves. In advancing The Rensselaer Plan 2024, we are moving from transforming Rensselaer to Rensselaer being transformative: transformative in our students' lives; transformative in our innovative pedagogy, nationally and internationally; transformative in the global impact of our research.
