Abstract While historically underserved students derive differentially greater benefits from participation in research with faculty, they engage the activity at lower rates than their peers. In contrast to national trend, Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program Georgia Institute of Technology enrolls representative proportions Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino respect campus population. This study examines student persistence VIP course sequence race ethnicity. The model is...
Purpose This paper aims to share the University of Strathclyde’s experience embedding research-based education for sustainable development (RBESD) within its undergraduate curricula through use an innovative pedagogy called Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP), originated at Georgia Institute Technology. Design/methodology/approach discusses how aligning VIP with SDG framework presents a powerful means combining both (RBE) and (ESD), in effect RBESD curricula. Findings The reports on...
Abstract A survey of papers in the ASEE Multidisciplinary Engineering Division for last three years shows main areas emphasis: individual courses; profiles specific projects; and capstone design courses. However, multidisciplinary education across all disciplines requires a larger-scale model that can be incorporated into any discipline, is both cost effective scalable, one fully engages benefits faculty. consortium 19 US 5 international institutions has come together around such model,...

Abstract A survey of papers in the ASEE Multidisciplinary Engineering Division over last three years shows main areas emphasis: individual courses; profiles specific projects; and capstone design courses. However, propagating multidisciplinary education across vast majority disciplines offered at educational institutions with varying missions requires models that are independent disciplines, programs, which they were originally conceived. Further, can propagate must be cost effective,...
Twenty-two colleges and universities have implemented the Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) model, which consists of multidisciplinary teams, long-term large-scale projects led by faculty, enrollment students from different academic ranks, ability for to participate multiple years.At Georgia Institute Technology, analysis university exit surveys found VIP participation correlated with a meaningful effect size on three questions: degree students' education contributed their work in team;...
Abstract Universities, colleges and academic departments acknowledge the need for more collaborative, multidisciplinary, entrepreneurial, global education. Unfortunately, this is no trivial task. Centuries of tradition have produced institutional silos, reinforced by layers policy cultural differences between departments, colleges, non-academic units. Successful multidisciplinary programs require programmatic administrative innovation that meet faculty, student needs leverage available...
The European Higher Education Area and the US National Academies of Science, Engineering, Medicine have called on higher education to support interdisciplinary learning. recommend evaluating against relevant criteria, but beyond listing student majors, institutions cannot easily quantify interdisciplinarity in education. Rao-Stirling diversity index, which incorporates measures cognitive distance, is used research. This study extends use index context to: (1) determine whether it provides a...
Abstract In the Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program, undergraduates earn academic credit for their participation in long-term, large-scale projects. Teams are created at request of faculty and embedded ongoing research/innovation efforts. Students can participate multiple semesters up to three years. Two important elements VIP teams peer-to-peer support peer project management. Encouraging students assist each other (peer support), be aware other’s work hold accountable management)...
This innovative-practice work-in-progress paper explores student leadership development over multiple semesters in team-structured project-based courses. While growth is expected a single semester, the study asks if of participation lead to continued growth, and so, how many continues. The examined peer evaluation ratings general (coordination teams' work) technical (serving as technical/content area leader) semester Georgia Tech's Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program,...
Abstract In the Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program, undergraduates earn academic credit for their participation in long-term, large-scale, multidisciplinary project teams that are created at request of faculty to assist them with research and other innovative activities. The students contribute disciplinary skills project, collaborate from disciplines, learn practice many professional skills. A key launching maintaining productive VIP is having participate multiple semesters,...
Abstract FIRST© LEGO© League Participation: Perceptions of Minority Student Participants and their FLL CoachesThe purpose this study is to examine benefits minority student participation in FIRSTLEGO (FLL©), an international competition which students construct programautonomous robots complete specific challenges. Robotics teams competitions have beensuggested as avenue increase interest science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM), but research on effects sparse. Given that a...
Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) is a model for multidisciplinary, team-based, project-based undergraduate research, and it has been implemented at 42 colleges universities around the world. This paper describes VIP programs four South American institutions, profiles one team from each, identifies themes across programs. The will be of interest to faculty administrators interested in incorporating scaling multidisciplinary projects their curricula.
Abstract The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine recommend that interdisciplinary education be evaluated against relevant criteria such as the number students from general population (i.e., outside instructor's department) mix students. How is a department, program, or institution to quantify multidisciplinarity class student team? majors simple metric, but it does not capture cognitive distance between majors. Beyond distance, measure should also account for proportion...
In this innovative practice work-in-progress paper, enrollment data from five institutions was used to examine equity in undergraduate research through Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Programs. VIP is a model for which large student teams are embedded faculty-driven projects. The American Association of Colleges and Universities recognizes as high-impact experience, associated with higher graduation rates greater learning gains college. Participation multiple experiences yields...
The Level-up workshop will challenge exclusive and exclusionary models for undergraduate research experiences, it give participants tools to expand serve all students. model associated are adaptable, they have been implemented in 44 colleges universities of varying sizes, settings missions 12 countries.
Electrical Engineering and Computer are broad disciplines. If students given a wide selection of electives within their majors, how do they navigate the curriculum? At one extreme, student could choose from or two areas, creating specialization in program study. Conversely, evenly sample courses across discipline, providing foundation field. This analysis examines in-major elective enrollments Engineering, to determine degree which constructed specialized programs study prior curriculum...
