Working together productively in a diverse team to find creative solutions to the problems or to make progress on a project is a key employability skill in the 21^st century.

VIP teams are:

• Multidisciplinary – drawing students from all disciplines on campus.

• Long Term – each student may participate in a project for up to two / three years.

   

  It allow students to gain unique, real-world experience that enhances their CVs, learn skills associated with interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary group work, and emerge with an increased awareness of global problems and their role in tackling them, making them more engaged and informed global citizens.

  The continuity, technical depth, and disciplinary breadth of these teams are intended to:

  • Learn and practice diverse skill-sets, make substantial technical contributions to the team project(s), and experience many different roles on a large, multidisciplinary design/discovery team.
  • Enable the completion of large-scale design/discovery projects that are of significant benefit to faculty members’ research programs.
