However, multidisciplinary education across all disciplines requires alarger-scale model that can be incorporated into any discipline, a model that is both cost effectiveand scalable, and one that fully engages and benefits faculty. A consortium of 19 US and 5international institutions has come together around such a model, the Vertically IntegratedProjects (VIP) Program. VIP unites undergraduate education and faculty research in a team-based context, with students earning academic credits toward their degrees, and faculty andgraduate students benefitting from the design/discovery efforts of their multidisciplinary teams.VIP is novel because it unites

Beingcentrally-administered, like all non-university-centric programs, means that theseprograms put low stress on US university resources. However, the US universities cangreatly benefit – a graduate student may be able to pursue an internship, with externalfinancial support, with an expert in the field, and bring this expertise back to the US.By supporting post-doctoral students, these programs bring a long-term impact bysupporting the work of those people who will end up in high-level industry anduniversity positions.The Whitaker

At a PUI the engagement of students in research projects is mostly from theundergraduate ranks which is markedly different from research intensive university.

This paper aims at presenting the process of implementing the EWB Challenge in Germany. In the course of this implementation, the concept was evaluated with the help of a standardized questionnaire; an overview of the results gained from this evaluation is provided in this paper as well. The evaluation served to gain diverse information e.g. about the perception of the challenge in general, its impact on the amount of knowledge gained by the students, and also about the challenge’s potentials for improvement.
