Show moreThis EnPRO will work on next generation search tools for Arabic processing. You do not have to be a Computer Science major or know anything about programming to be a major contributor to this project. This will be both a regular IPRO and an ENPRO so you will learn about the business side of things as well. Finally, if you are fluent in Arabic, this is really the IPRO for you. Your Arabic language skills will be heavily used. As with all regular courses, ten hours per week outside of class will be required Sponsorship: IIT Collaboratory for Interprofessional Studies Project Plan for EnPRO 356: Arabic Stemmer for the Spring 2003 semester Show less

Show moreThis IPRO is designed to support the Department of Homeland Security national security initiatives as outlined by the United States Government. The goal is to design a project that supports homeland security compliance guidelines. For example, depending upon interests of the group, a software program could be developed containing a matrix of risk and preventive factors which could be used to assess how well an organization meets Homeland Security Guidelines. Items might involve public policy, computer technology, facilities, transportation, communications, EPA, security, water and air. The need to protect our facilities and people in the Chicago area given recent terrorist activities and the frequent, heightened state of alerts is critical. A well-defined homeland security project can help in contributing to the initiative of establishing homeland readiness. This hands-on project will afford students the opportunity to research an apply concepts of transportation, mechanical, electrical, power, economics, and especially computer technology and engineering to homeland security.
