*NOTE:
From Fall 2023 semester, EE/CpE students could earn 3 credits
from VIP courses (EECE101 Faculty-Student Team Project (VIP) (1 cr); EECE201 (1
cr); and EECE 302 (1 cr)) and substitute them for 1 EE/CpE elective course.
Benefits:
Through the VIP framework, companies can
connect with VIP students who, after the project period, are:
(a) Motivated earlier in their
academic careers - VIP attracts sophomores, juniors, and seniors actively seeking
challenges beyond classroom.
(b)
Comfortable in working in a group of large number of students from diverse majors
- Each team is multidisciplinary by
design, and VIP attracts students from all majors from college of engineering and other colleges;
(c) Equipped with the skill sets of the company’s area of interest
- Companies embedded the needed skill sets in the project description.
(d)
Team-oriented - VIP cultivates a culture of peer-mentorship,
with returning students onboarding new students and taking on increased level of responsibility each
semester.
