== Promote Growth of Vertically Integrated Projects<br/> ==
*The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program unites undergraduate education and faculty research in a team-based context. *Undergraduate VIP students earn academic credits, while faculty and graduate students benefit from the design/discovery efforts of their teams.
*The Boise State University VIP program is part of a broad national and international consortium of universities.
*While this program already exists in an early phase, more work remains to create campus-wide awareness about the vision and purpose of Vertically Integrated Projects in order to attract students and faculty to participate in current and new projects
*This program presents an inherent opportunity for a culture of I&E to thrive in a community of students and faculty from different disciplines across campus
*VIP projects differ from a traditional research lab setting in that the experiences, interests, and abilities of all members - faculty and students alike - are valued equally
*Close-knit VIP teams provide an opportunity to support vulnerable populations of students who might not finish their degrees without a supportive community and mentorship opportunities
== Provide Opportunities for Entrepreneurship Mentoring to Engineering Students<br/> ==
