- coLAB: an exploration in networked, collaborative & interactive spaces
- I am proposing to create a student housing hub for the various architectural colleges within the city of Chicago (IIT, UIC, SAIC & Colombia College). I am imagining not only making a physical connection but also creating a digital environment where students can collaborate, network and share ideas at their leisure. The phrase “living-learning environment”, comes to mind when thinking of my project, with so many advancements in technology, within architecture and within the public domain our learning has extended beyond the classroom. Although these schools were chosen primarily for their architectural distinction, the hub will welcome students across all disciplines.

- Latino Cultural Center in Chicago
- As Latino immigrant families assimilate in to U.S. Society there is the risk that future generations will not learn about their history, culture and traditions. Many Latin people born in the United States do not learn about their heritage, they just adapt to the American lifestyle. There is a need for new infrastructure that works as cultural exchange and support for this community. This Cultural Center is intended to be part of the existing downtown cultural infrastructure. The idea is to include it as part of the cultural and educational organizations in order to integrate it with tourism.

- Avoidatrak (Summer 2003) IPRO 351: Avoidatrack IPRO351 Summer2003 Final Presentation
- A Fall 2002 EnPRO Team created a demonstration version of a computer game that puts you in control of a wheelchair. They also explored some of the business issues associated with this game concept. The aim of this game will be to help hone wheelchair-maneuvering skills for training and entertaining. With the simulation of such wheelchair activities as racing, basketball and other recreational activities, Avoidatrak will be a challenging and entertaining game for all.The National Easter Seal Society, the YMCA, special education teachers and others are interested in the results of this project. The idea is to eventually develop a combination computer game and training tool to meet the needs of children and others with disabilities that is based on a concept of collision avoidance conceived by Mr. Julius Jones, Jr., a Chicago independent inventor. This concept responds to the need for a simulation that helps children become familiar with how to use a wheelchair as well as offers an entertainment experience for those confined to wheelchairs or their friends., Sponsorship: IIT Collaboratory for Interprofessional Studies and the Ed Kaplan Entrepreneurial Studies Program, Project Plan for IPRO 351: Avoidatrak for the Summer2003 semester

- Developing a Conference of Human Consciousness (Fall 2001) IPRO 315
- The team will organize and conduct a conference to address the question of what is the status of our knowledge about human consciousness. This will provide interested students an opportunity to develop and apply project management skills, and develop many contacts in various professional areas in academia, government agencies, professional societies and professional services firms, social services organizations, and a range of associated health fields. The question of human consciousness has philosophical, psychological, and neurobiological dimensions. The 90�s were the decade of the brain. The genome project has focused attention on the evolution of the brain especially with the emergence of the discipline of evolutionary psychology. A conference (following the format of the previous one-day conference we organized and conducted on November 7, 1998, The Ganges River Pollution Problem) will display the several dimensions of the question via presentations by experts representing the range of complementary issues and areas of study associated with the topic of human consciousness. Self-awareness is a source of wonder and curiosity for all humans. A conference with this focus will give all of us that comprise the IIT community an opportunity to explore with, and gain insight from, experts in each of the relevant fields of knowledge to advance our own levels of understanding about this fascinating phenomenon., Sponsorship: IIT Collaboratory for Interprofessional Studies, Project Plan for IPRO 315: Developing a Conference of Human Consciousness for the Fall 2001 semester
