: Orthotics and Prosthetics In Latin America (Semester Unknown) IPRO 309; There exists a strong demand for orthotics and prosthetics (O & P) in Latin America, with approximately 2.5 million people in need of this type of care. IPRO 309 was started in the spring of 2006 with the goal of helping to make this type of care more readily available. However, there are only 50 certified and 1500 uncertified, O & P practitioners in Latin America. In order to become a certified practitioner, a student must graduate from an ISPO accredited program. Unfortunately, there is currently only one ISPO accredited program in existence in Latin America, along with several other programs that are not ISPO accredited. In October of 2004, Centro Don Bosco (Bogotá, Colombia), Don Bosco University (San Salvador, El Salvador), and the Laboratorio Gilete (Bogotá, Colombia) signed an agreement to establish the first accredited O & P education program in Colombia. Since then, Centro Don Bosco has allotted 3,500 square feet of space for the thriving faculty, classrooms, manufacturing training, and vocational workspace that are necessary for an ISPO accredited program., Deliverables

: Improving Global Supply Chain Management (Spring 2011) IPRO 306; IPRO 306 team is tasked with assisting a major plumbing manufacturer, Sloan Valve, in improving the global chain supply as well as the overall effectiveness and efficacy of their equipment and processes. Sloan Valve has three projects with IPRO 306 will be involved, and they range in three different fields of the manufacturer. The projects which IPRO 306 will be involved are: • Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) • Cost Matrix • Green Supply Chain The Cost matrix project group seeks to develop a tool that can capture and compare the different costs the company incurs when buying parts oversees vs. domestic. Sloan's idea is to start selling their products in other parts of the world at competitive price. Some of these markets are very competitive when it comes to price. So if Sloan buys materials domestically may not be able to offer competitive pricing worldwide. By creating a cost matrix tool, the company will be able to compare costs of raw material ordered abroad versus locally and wisely decide what the best choice to pursue is. The Second project is Overall Equipment Efficiency (herein after as OEE) which will be a continuation of last semester Lean Implementation project. OEE is designed to eliminate any downtime of a machine. Through a tracking process, OEE will help eliminate downtime and efficiently determine what is causing this down time. The goal of the project is to further make the OEE process more efficient in addition to creating and perfecting a tracking system which will be able to analyze and create reports from the data that will be input into the system. The third project is the Green Supply Chain. Currently, there is no industry standard for being “green.” The goal of this project is to establish a definition of “green,” and create a cost effective, consumer appealing, way to introduce this into the Sloan Valve supply chain. After defining “green,” team members will examine and create a strategy detailing ways in which Sloan Valve can implement green initiatives into the Sloan Valve supply chain. The purpose of this document is to give a detailed overview of the project, as it is currently defined through our meetings and charters provided by Sloan Valve. This document will provide critical information about the project involving the team and its assets, team goals, conflict resolutions and more. In addition it will also provide a brief background on Sloan Valve, along with a discussion of issues facing both the company and the IPRO team. A methodology of the project will be discussed as well as key deliverables and a work breakdown structure of the project., Sponsorship: SLOAN, Deliverables

: The Opportunities and Challenges of Mobile Devices in the Corporate Communication Environment (Semester Unknown) IPRO 310; The goal of IPRO 310 is to aid Tellabs in embracing current mobile technology and applications so as to increase employee productivity.

: Know IIT Ales (Semester Unknown) IPRO 321; Beer is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. The culture of brewing beer is one that continues to attract the attention of people from all walks of life. Beer can be differentiated one from another in terms of their color, alcohol content, smoothness, bitterness, type of ingredients used as well as the recipe used. In a very broad sense, however, beer can be broken up into lagers and ales. The main difference between lagers and ales is the kind of yeast used and the conditions under which the fermentation is carried out. In this project, an attempt will be made to produce a beer that is on the continuum between lagers and ales: the German Altbier. The Altbier has a unique combination of flavor, aroma, bitterness and smoothness. The central objective of this project is to take on the challenge of creating the Altbier. This will be accomplished by bringing together students from a broad range of academic backgrounds whose different skills sets will be applied to the task at hand., Deliverables

: Synthetic Biology: Engineering a Novel Organism (semester?), IPRO 302; The basis for this Project is a growing body of work in recent years in the development of new organisms, primarily using Escherichia coli as a base. To the best of our knowledge, no work of this type has yet been attempted within IIT to date. Our work will be building on the body of knowledge generated from the work of others in this field, and has as its central aim to extend the work into specific results that have not yet been achieved within any institution. Past successes in this field have included the generation of bacteria which flash a certain color, behave as a two state oscillator, or create simple logic gate functions., Deliverables for IPRO 302: Synthetic Biology: Engineering a Novel Organism for the Fall 2004 semester

: Solar/Wind Hydrogen Fueling Station at IIT (semester?), IPRO 304B; The objective of this project is to design a renewably powered hydrogen fuelling station at IIT to be part of the Illinois Hydrogen Highway. Based on past recommendations a project site will be selected for the fuelling station. This site will also include a wind turbine and solar panel array to capture renewable energy. The principles of process design will be used to layout hydrogen production, storage, and implementation of renewable energy technologies. The stations will meet all local codes for hydrogen storage, production, and usage. This station will be designed in conjunction with the House of the Future, which is part of IIT’s Sustainable Village., Deliverables for IPRO 304B: Solar/Wind Hydrogen Fueling Station at IIT for the Spring 2005 semester
