: Green Church (Semester Unknowmn) IPRO 328; Private schools and places of worship are nonprofit institutions where their financial support comes from their patrons who use their facilities. Due to inefficient building systems and poor design, these institutions are losing money; in come cases literally throwing money out the window. For the schools, the loss inhibits their ability to improve their academic programs, create better facilities, and ultimately be competitive amongst other schools. For the religious institutions, the loss prevents them from creating new programs to improve their causes, give back to their community, and continue on with their own purpose., Deliverables

: Heat Treat Subgroup (Semester Unknown) IPRO 304; Finkl is an industrial steel manufacturer of custom, high quality steel parts for other industries (stamp molding for auto, aircraft landing gear, die steel for other manufactures, etc) The company performs the entire process from smelting the steel, casting and forging, heat treating, and machining of their parts. Currently in their heat treatment process at Finkl, approximately 10% of their parts that are below company quality standards. Finkl has no efficient way of tracking where specific parts are in relation to each other while in the furnace. So when a part comes out below standards, it is hard to trace back where that part was in the furnace and why it was not treated properly. Finkl has enlisted the help of IIT students, which plan to implement a software program that Finkl can use to create a virtual furnace with the parts that will be heat treated and their specific locations in the furnace. When parts come out below quality standards, the program would allow Finkl to examine the location of the parts within the furnace and determine the reason for sub-par quality. The previous semester IPRO was able to develop a software program that displayed the different Finkl shapes; however, the program only displays a single shape at a time without the ability to move or resize the shape. They were also able to model about half of the Finkl shape codes in ProE. . When a large number of parts fail, they must be retreated to meet company quality standards. Taking the time to retreat the process takes both time and money away from the company. If we can help to identify the cause of the heat treatment failure, this would save the company a large amount of money each year. To be able to determine the cause of the heat treat failure, the team hopes to develop a visual database of the furnace layout to help track parts location within the furnace., Sponsorship: A.

: IIT Intranet Mediator for USHMM (Semester Unknown) IPRO 316; The world energy market is rapidly approaching a crossroads. As fossil fuel resources become sparser and fuel prices skyrocket, everyone is looking for the next best energy source. But not only does it need to be affordable, it also has to be safer for the environment and sustainable. There are many options being looked at including solar, wind and fuel cells, but there is one alternative that seems feasible in the immediate future: biodiesel., Deliverables

: Intermodal Container Transport System Solutions for Chicago Region (Semester Unknown) IPRO 307; What is intermodal transportation? Intermodal transportations are the use of multiple types of transportation such as ships, planes, locomotive and semi-trailers to transport goods in and out of the United States. An example of this would be the importation of goods from overseas that arrive in the United States via cargo ships. Distribution of these goods can vary depending on the distance the container needs to travel. Containers that travel short distances will be done via semi-trailer, whereas containers that have to travel cross country are loaded into locomotives and transported the Midwest for sub-distribution or the other coast for distribution. Why is intermodal transportation important? The efficiency in moving products is what makes Intermodal Transportation important. The more efficient a product is distributed the more money is saved, due to less time and less labor involved in the process. What is the scope of this IPRO? The scope of this IPRO is to provide a manifesto of good practices that will improve intermodal transportation to be environmentally conscious and friendly. The IPRO team will produce a book containing good practices in the design of an intermodal facility. The team will also implement the methods by producing a build-out. The team will also focus on the Clark Road bridge design from previous semester to help improve the commerciality of Gary, Indiana. There is a growing concern today to be more environmentally conscious and friendly. Cities like Chicago are introducing green roofs to help the environment by reducing carbon dioxide therefore lessening the green house effects. The challenge for this IPRO team is how we can improve intermodal yards while 3 keeping in mind the environmental and ethical issues. Some of the environmental issues the team is dealing with are noise, water, air and land quality. The ethical issues are the effect on the individual and the community of having an intermodal facility at your back door. The team will research and find solutions for these issues and write up a report to publish in the book., Deliverables

: Designing and Building Prototypes for Assisting Blind Swimmers (Semester Unknown) IPRO 310; IPRO 310 is continuing into its fourth semester of creating devices to assist the millions of blind and visually impaired people in the United States to swim independently and without sustaining injuries. Due to the size of the team, now and in the past, IPRO 310 divides itself into 3 subteams. The three sub‐teams are the passive sub‐team, the active sub‐team, and the research sub‐team; which this year has become the business plan/EnPRO sub‐team. Though we meet as a single IPRO several times a week, most of the work done outside of class will be in separate teams. Because of the great differences between each segment of the project, each sub‐team has devised their own plan. The passive team will first present their plan to create a large device that can be installed into a pool to assist blind and visually impaired swimmers. Following that, the active team will present their plan to create a small device that can be worn by a blind and visually impaired swimmer to warn them about obstacles. Lastly, the business team will present their plan to devise a business plan to start a successful start‐up business by using the device that the passive team is working on., Deliverables

: Developing Affordable Products for the Rural Poor of the World (semester?), IPRO 325; OBJECTIVES IPRO 325’s objective is to create a program at IIT which looks to make an impact in the most immediate problems dealing with the world’s rural poor. We seek to do this via the following objectives: - Extend our current research - Create working prototypes of products for the world’s poor in each of our subgroups - Raise awareness on campus about the problems facing the world’s poor - Further develop the idea of the IIT Affordable Village and make recommendations on how to proceed, Deliverables for IPRO 325: Developing Affordable Products for the Rural Poor of the World for the Spring 2007 semester.

: Strategic Management System (Summer2003) IPRO357; The project team will be organized into a technology development group and a business group to follow through on the accomplishments of two Spring 2003 IPRO teams (IPRO 327 and EnPRO 357). The SMS Technology Group will continue developing the SMS Strategic Management System, Versions 2.0 and 3.0, with significantly enhanced functionalities over Version 1.0, and with each targeted to different application environments. The computer architecture and software code has been written by a cross-functional, interdisciplinary team of IIT students based upon a commercialization model developed by Stuart GSB Entrepreneurship Professor George Kalidonis. Versions 2.0 & 3.0 will be parallel developed and will add significant levels of different functionalities. The SMS Business Group will continue developing a commercialization and financing plan for SMS Version 1.1: a web-based strategic management system designed for micro-businesses and individual entrepreneurs. This project supports a serious effort to raise private equity capital for a start-up that will be staffed by IIT students., Sponsorship: IIT Collaboratory for Interprofessional Studies under the Auspices of the Ed Kaplan Entrepreneurial Program, Project Plan for IPRO 357: Strategic Management System for the Summer 2003 semester
