Join The Cooper Union students as they showcase work from the 2023-2024 Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) in smart cities, bioengineering, electric vehicles, and more. VIP courses are multidisciplinary and support student and/or faculty-initiated projects and competitions.

Undergraduate and graduate students who join VIP teams earn one credit each semester for engaging in ambitious long-term, large-scale projects. Students from all class years and majors take VIP courses together. Learn more about this year's projects here.
