-labs,the lab session can turn into a formulaic following of the lab manual instead of activelyconstructing meaningful knowledge from it.Vertically Integrated Program on Hands-On LearningThe primary mechanism for the design of new experimental platforms for the dynamics course isthe Vertically Integrated Program (VIP) Hands-On Learning Team at Georgia Tech, establishedin 2015 under an NSF grant and advised by the two authors of this paper. The VIP program givesundergraduate students course credit to pursue research and design experience on projects that lastover multiple semesters. The VIP program is offered at a national consortium of 17 colleges and[http://vip.gatech.edu/new/vip-consortium]. We established our VIP Hands-On Learning team
