Presentations by students in the VIP program (Vertical Integrated Projects) based in the Department of Computing and Information Sciences. The panel is chaired by Francisco R. Ortega. The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program aims to involve everyone on campus in innovation. VIP unites undergraduate education and faculty research in a team-based context. Undergraduate VIP students earn academic credit, while faculty and graduate students benefit from the design/discovery efforts of their teams. VIP extends the academic design experience beyond a single semester, with students participating for up to three years. It provides the time and context to learn and practice professional skills, to make substantial contributions, and experience different roles on large multidisciplinary design/discovery teams.
