PROJECTS (VIP)
Enabling research experiences
for undergraduate and graduate
students from any discipline that
build technical and workplace
skills in a highly supportive and
inclusive environment.
Vertically Integrated Projects provide a curricular
structure to facilitate students engaging in authentic research alongside faculty. Faculty are encouraged to set up VIP courses related to their scholarly
work and then students can enroll in these courses
repeatedly from sophomore year through graduate
school. This enables the students to grow - both in
the research work and in the habits of mind that
enable future success; while also enabling the
faculty to have a team to collaborate with on their
research projects.
HIGHLIGHTS
Added 8 new projects with 9 faculty from the College Arts
& Sciences, College of Innovation + Design, College of
Engineering, and College of Business and Economics.
Hosted a successful, virtual VIP showcase for students to
share their work with the campus community.
Our entry with Georgia Tech about VIP won an honorable
mention in the National Academies’ Idea Competition for
the Symposium on Imagining the Future of Undergraduate
STEM Education.
