22所学院和大学实施了垂直整合项目（VIP）模式，该模式由多学科团队，教师领导的长期大型项目，来自不同学术级别的学生入学，以及学生参与多年的能力组成。在格鲁吉亚理工学院，对大学毕业调查的分析发现，VIP参与与三个问题的有意义的效应大小相关：学生的教育有助于他们在多学科团队中工作的能力的程度;他们与来自不同背景的个人合作的能力;以及他们对与其研究领域相关的技术应用的理解。受这些发现的启发，VIP协调员进行了回顾性研究同行评价，应用社交网络分析来量化学生的互动，并确定整个程序的模式。结果表明，在VIP计划，学生更经常与其他专业和其他种族/民族比自己的专业和种族/民族互动。结果支持以前的研究结果，提供证据的VIP经验，在不同的群体和多学科团队的工作。本文报告了这一分析的结果，并计划进一步的工作。
Twenty-two colleges and universities have implemented the Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) model, which consists of multidisciplinary teams, long-term large-scale projects led by faculty, the enrollment of students from different academic ranks, and the ability for students to participate for multiple years. At Georgia Institute of Technology, analysis of university exit surveys found VIP participation correlated with a meaningful effect size on three questions: the degree to which students’ education contributed to their ability to work in a multidisciplinary team; their ability to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds; and their understanding of technology applications relevant to their field of study. Motivated by these findings, the VIP coordinators conducted a retrospective study of peer evaluations, applying social network analysis to quantify student interactions and identify patterns across the program. Results indicate that within the VIP Program, students interact more often with other majors and other races/ethnicities than their own major and race/ethnicity. Results support the findings of the previous study, providing evidence of VIP experiences related to working in diverse groups and in multidisciplinary teams. This paper reports the results of this analysis and plans for further work.
