Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP)
University of Strathclyde is running a programme of classes called Vertically Integrated Projects – VIP@Strath.
These projects give students from first year through to postgraduate level the opportunity to work with staff in multi-disciplinary teams on cutting-edge research and development projects.
By taking part in a VIP project you will be able to:
-
Learn and practice many different professional skills.
-
Make substantial technical contributions to a project.
-
Experience many different roles on a large design team.
-
Interact and receive support from more senior students and, in some instances, receive mentoring from PhD students involved in the project.
-
Contribute to the completion of large-scale design projects that are of significant benefit to the research programmes of staff members.
If you would like to join the VIP Team please contact the relevant academic lead.

ROVER VIP
This VIP team aims to design, build and develop completely autonomous, robotic vehicles to improve sensing capabilities of our environment and the smart cities of the future. The project will educate and train students in any aspect of robotic systems relevant to their interests and discipline.
The long term goal will see the development of, marketable, environmentally friendly land, sea and air vehicles with the capability to measure and image valuable data such as CO2 levels in the atmosphere and sub-sea oil leaks. Open to students from all engineering disciplines, the Business school, Computer & Information Sciences, Physics and Mathematics & Statistics.
