professor access to students of anymajor on campus and the students can stay with the VIP team for multiple semesters. VIP teamstypically have 10 to 20 students. The Electronic ARTrium VIP team is co-instructed by Prof.Weitnauer and Dr. Thomas Martin, Chief Scientist of the Electro-optics Systems Laboratory atthe Georgia Tech Research Institute. Enrollments in the Electronic ARTrium team since itsinception to the time of this writing have been 22, 15, 21, and 24, for Fall 2021, Spring 2022,Fall 2022, and Spring 2023. Many if not all the computer science (CS) students on the VIP teamwere using VIP to satisfy their junior capstone design requirement, but this is transparent to theVIP instructors. Engineering students also have the option to use VIP
/2017 cohorts and five of the twenty-six2016 and 2017 REU students were also AMP students. REEMS activities over the academic year include: • Fall and spring seminars and research laboratory tours • Networking among partnering university faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and materials professionals, and • Workshops and seminars on university transfer and academic programs at regional universities. During recruitment, the PI, REEMS staff, university research faculty, and formerREEMS REU students discuss the scope of research projects, various seminars and networkingopportunities, development of a coherent transfer plan to participating institutions, and thebenefits of both the
