What is VIP?

VIP at ASU capitalizes on the interests of undergraduates to engage in ongoing scientific research. Beginning as freshmen or sophomores, teams collaborate with upperclassmen and graduate students to address real problems guided by faculty scientists. Students earn academic or honors credits over 4 years.

VIP experience:

Prepares students for the workplace or more advanced study
Facilitates in-depth experience and applied learning through multidisciplinary challenges
Enables broad understanding of the innovation process, and
Allows for mastery of critical thinking skills and exposure to a variety of skills and roles.

Assistive TechnologiesThe project aims to understand how these two technologies (cloud and robotics) work together, to create this exciting field of "Cloud Robotics", defined as "Any robot or automation system that relies on data or code from a network to support its operations." The project will be carried out as a joint effort with Intel and ASU.

Bio-Geotechnics for Civil InfrastructuresProjects include innovative bio-geotechnical approaches for site exploration, foundation design and construction, underground construction, erosion control, geologic hazard mitigation, and natural resource recovery.

HII-CIt is a group of faculty and students working together in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, the VA medical center, and other institutions to develop apps and tools to provide these new kinds of capability. It includes a “sandbox” of technical resources and tools needed to build on top of existing healthcare systems to create new capabilities.

VIP @ ASU is partially supported by a grant from the Helmsley Charitable Trust, through a subcontract from Georgia Tech, founder and host of the VIP Consortium. VIP @ ASU is hosted in the PRIME Center, directed by Carole E. Greenes, Ed.D., and co-directed by Robert A. Greenes, M.D., Ph.D. The center works closely with the Provost, Barrett Honors College, and academic units to facilitate approval of student academic program and honors credits. It works closely with VIP faculty to foster optimal projects and experiences with VIP programs and themes pursued by the universities of the VIP Consortium.

ASU is a new member of the 20-University VIP Consortium (see http://www.vip.gatech.edu/vip-consortium) dedicated to advancing undergraduate learning through real-world research.
