andresourcefulness to self-motivation and teamwork [5]. A notable aspect of the VIP model is itscommunity-centric approach, promoting collaboration among undergraduates, graduate students,and faculty. This interconnected environment nurtures mutual respect, innate curiosity, and aspirit of creativity [2]. The VIP model presents a holistic learning journey that holds immensepotential for students' academic and professional trajectories [2]. Our journey began by recognizing a gap between first-year project-based learning (PBL)engineering courses and the Interdisciplinary Capstone (IDC) for senior engineering students.We created IDPro to fill this gap, enabling students to engage in long-term, interdisciplinaryprojects involving community stakeholders

]. UREs come in many modalities, such as traditional faculty-student collaborations, project-basedinitiatives, community-based projects, capstone projects, internships, co-ops, course-based undergraduateresearch experiences, international research opportunities, and programs like Vertically IntegratedProjects (VIP). These initiatives provide students with versatile chances to participate in hands-onexperiences, acquire methodological expertise, and make meaningful contributions to advancingknowledge in their respective disciplines. [1], [4], [5]. Moreover, the scholarly literature reveals thatparticipation in UREs yields substantial benefits for students pursuing STEM careers. Research findingsshow that UREs can lead to a better understanding of

integration of an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into engineering education has become18 increasingly prevalent, reflecting a paradigm shift in how engineering problems are approached19 and solved. This project, serving as the capstone of an Introduction to Engineering course, was20 designed to instill EM in a diverse group of engineering students, equipping them to tackle21 multidisciplinary challenges innovatively. Historically, EM has been a staple in business education22 but has only recently begun to permeate engineering curricula globally over the past few decades23 (3). The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), established in 2005, has been pivotal24 in promoting EM within undergraduate engineering programs across the

At Trine University, a small private school in Angola, Indiana, he focused on undergraduate education while teaching ten different courses ranging from introductory freshman courses to senior capstone. Scott also served as an advisor to many different undergraduate research projects. He then moved on to Michigan State University and took a position as a teaching specialist concentrating on undergraduate classroom instruction. Scott finally settled at York College of Pennsylvania. He has been at York College for over ten years

This testament serves to illustrate the integral role thatsuch projects play in academic growth and the cultivation of expertise in a specialized field.Incorporating a scaling element into future projects is a viable consideration. In the currentscenario, the student had independently conceived the idea and completed substantialpreliminary work before seeking faculty guidance. Although capstone drone students receivedencouragement to contribute and participate, there was a noticeable lack of strong interest injoining the project

effectiveness of interdisciplinary instructional designpractices.IntroductionEngineers bear the professional responsibility to ensure that a given project benefits society bytaking into account the impact of human and social factors when making engineering decisionsand communicating technical expertise. Given the importance of such considerations [1], ABETaccreditation criteria explicitly target them as expectations for professional readiness. Inengineering and engineering technology curricula, project-based learning from freshman projectsto senior capstones and human-centered design [2] are highly effective pedagogies that areintegral to the curricula for all the students in the programs. To address societal factors inengineering design, an
