To use VIP credit for Senior Design, a student should register for VIP in four successive semesters for at least 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 credits in those semesters, with the last four credits being in their senior year. At the end of the second semester, the student should submit a proposal to ISyE's Senior Design coordinator for approval, describing how the VIP project will fulfill the basic requirements of Senior Design. If approved for Senior Design credit, the student will need to submit interim and final reports and presentations to the Senior Design coordinator at the end of the third and fourth semesters. The Senior Design coordinator will assign the student's grade in consultation with the student's VIP advisor.
