VIP Team First Step in AFRL, Purdue Educational Partnership Agreement
Purdue University and the United States Air Force Research Laboratory have partnered to sign an education partnership agreement (EPA). The overall mission of this five-year AFRL-Purdue EPA is to encourage and enhance study and research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as well as develop the workforce opportunities for Purdue STEM students. This EPA's first program, “Air Force Research Laboratory - Unmanned Aerial System (AFRL-UAS),"; is presented through Purdue's Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program. This AFRL supported group will enable a diverse team of students from various majors to work on hands-on team design projects and network directly with researchers and facilities at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's AFRL.
