Undergraduate students participating in the VIP program earn academic credit for their work on research projects with graduate students and faculty. They can earn 1 or 2 credits each semester that they participate. The courses for which they register and the expectations they must meet are designed to match their academic year. There are thus three courses:
ECE-495T: Sophomore Participation in the Vertically-Integrated Projects Program
ECE-495U: Junior Participation in the Vertically-Integrated Projects Program
ECE-495V: Senior Participation in the Vertically-Integrated Projects Program
