Show moreThe members of IPRO 318 are collaborating with the Brookfield Zoo to develop an iPhone application that will enhance the visitors’ experience and interactions with the zoo environment. This application will be an educational device in addition to trip planning tool. As such, it will be broken down into two major components. First, an educational module that includes the guided inquiry system for animal identification with other informative and interesting functions (such as games, social networks, etc.). Second, the commodity module, which includes an interactive map with GPS, basic park information (such as hours, tickets, parking, etc.), and functions related to other services provided by the zoo. Additionally, it involves designing a sleek, logical, user-friendly layout. By organizing the animal database and additional information provided by the zoo, and coupling this with the tools available on the iPhone, IPRO 318 seeks to design an efficient and entertaining means of utilizing modern technology to explore the zoo and its animals. This document provides a detailed overview of the project, including the plan of action, work breakdown, project goals, background information, and the organization of the IPRO team.

Show moreThere 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. There are three levels of accreditation according to ISPO standards. Category III involves the design and manufacturing of orthotic and prosthetic devices, Category II includes the fabrication of the devices as well as direct patient care, and Category I includes production, treatment for patients, and research and development. The equivalent to ISPO in the United States is the American Board of Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics (ABC). Because it is independent from the ISPO, the ABC standards of accreditation will need to be taken into account in order to carefully cross cultural and national boundaries.

Show moreThe team for IPRO 317 is tasked with working on developing a pervasive training program. This program will integrate various psychological and technological applications. As such the team working on this project has split into 2 groups to work on these respective applications. The idea of pervasive training addresses a dire need in the field of corporate training. This concept allows companies to put their employees through training by making them self-aware. This method of training also enables employers to train their employees with minimal disruption to productivity. Our intention is to implement this training through the employee’s hand held devices. Each employee would select a group of peer to fill out an assessment, the combination of the peer assessments, an assessment performed by the employee’s supervisor and one by the employee themselves would constitute the evaluation of employee. The employee would then receive a series of periodic e-mails to their mobile device that they would then need to respond to in order to complete this training. After a pre-designated amount of time for this training the employee will fill out a new survey and receive their results. A significant motivator for this training is that it is purely voluntary and allows the employee to receive these evaluations without their employer knowing any of the results aside from completion status. From our research team we hope to derive a set of themes by which to rate the employee as well as survey questions. What this will lead to is a group of teachable moments. These moments will be reminders for the employee based upon the results of their surveys. Once this system is derived the research team will begin a search for appropriate test organizations for us to run our trials on. While this is being done our development team will build a website to distribute and compile these surveys. This site will also send out our teachable moments and maintain this data. All of this will be done on a desktop computer that will be converted into a server. Once testing begins, this team will be responsible for assisting the test users in the survey and teaching process. These team members will provide support for any issues the users will have as well as for maintaining the website integrity during this process. Ultimately once this initial phase is done our hope is that this product will move immediately into production. Our hope is that with the success of our project this will become a new standard in the training of employees. With this being the case employers will be able to train more employees with less loss of production. Our goal is for this to be used with every employee and not just those in management.

Show moreOzinga is a Chicago corporation that is a prominent supplier of Ready Mix concrete products to the construction industry in Chicago and surrounding areas. As part of its interest in advancing its corporate social responsibility and expanding its market opportunities, Ozinga is interested in working with an IPRO team to investigate the long-term role of concrete products, technologies, systems, processes and applications inimproving our environment. This initial IPRO project for Ozinga can have many facets, and may lead to specialized follow-on projects. Three broad areas of investigation that could evolve are: (1) opportunities for extending the use of concrete to mitigate environmental impact associated with urban warming, (2) opportunities for evaluating the management of energy associated with concrete mix and the vehicle fleet that distributes the material, and (3) opportunities for concrete mix materials and process innovation. The project team will develop a foundation for thinking about these three areas of opportunity, although it is anticipated that the initial focus would be on the first area as outlined below. A broad view of sustainable development considers the effects of removinglarge expanses of vegetation from the urban ecosystem and creating structures and systems that exacerbate urban warming problems. Parking lots, office buildings, roadways and other built systems have the negative effect of absorbing large amounts of heat. This then requires investment in cooling systems for conditioning indoor environments that consume energy and other resources; affects the quality of peoples' lives; and has a long-term negative effect on our global environment. These broad issueshave been studied by various organizations in a range of professionalcontexts, including environmental engineering, architecture, urbanplanning, government policy, atmospheric studies, etc. The construction industry itself has supported such studies, including the National Ready Mix Association,. The City of Chicago has established "green goals" to guide its planning, investment and regulatory functions. The IPRO team will investigate the types of concrete application opportunities that have been developed in the U.S. and abroad and that havebeen successful or offer significant potential for application in the Cityof Chicago. This could include expanded use of concrete commercial buildingcladding, concrete residential structures, and concrete pavements. The team will also review building codes and labor rules that may be considered to inhibit innovative and broader application of concrete mixes. There arealso issues associated with the financial, environmental and energylife-cycle cost that merit evaluation to understand the decision makingprocess associated with material selection and specification. In addition, it is important in developing a case for concrete material applications to understand the relative size and impact of each viable application in terms of environmental mitigation potential. One approach to addressing this issue is to use Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to correlate areas with significant heat absorption to the types of systems (e.g., commercial buildings, residential buildings, parking lots, roadways, etc.). Both the public and private sectors have a vested interest in developing,applying and diffusing innovative products that can have a positiveinfluence on the environment. However, in order to lay the foundation forsignificant impact by a product like concrete ready mix, it is necessary tocarefully map the decision making process that involves a range of thesecomplex variables. This can help to establish the "business case" for notonly concentrated effort by firms like Ozinga, but also for governmentagencies. This can also help to guide the modification of codes andpolicies so that they do not inhibit, but rather encourage experimentationwith and diffusion of concrete materials that can mitigate environmental impact.

Show moreThe IPRO 347 team intends to seize the opportunity given by Robbins Community Power (RCP) to improve the efficiency of the power plant. RCP plans to convert the facility from its original role as an incinerator into a wood biomass electricity plant. Working with RCP, the team will look at thermodynamic values to determine how to best utilize the excess heat generated from the boiler that currently radiates out the cooling towers. Additionally, the team will research and discuss possible solutions to be implemented on the 22 acre site. The intricacies that arise from the nontraditional nature of our plan require we split into two groups. One sub-team will look into exactly where the waste heat exists and the values of viable energy available in the form of steam or hot water. This team will seek interdisciplinary advice as part of the energy analysis. The second, but most influential, sub-team will predominantly be researching feasible outlets for the recovered energy. Some solutions they will pursue include supplying nearby greenhouses with CO2, providing on-site and local heat, and increasing the efficiency of the plant through drying processes.

Show moreThe objective of IPRO 305 is to understand the usage of deep-rooted as well as emerging applications and trends that will drive internet usage over the next 3 to 5 years. These need to be personified in terms of various classes of users that will co-exist and the potential use by each. In a little over a decade, the internet has become a part of everyday life. What started with simple applications such as email, has expanded to providing Blogs, Social Networking Sites, streaming video content, low cost (sometimes fee) international calls and has evolved into massive e-commerce engine. {There will remain users who use the internet for simple tasks as email, while others will use it to get all their multi-media content and blogs with multitude of opportunities to monetize the same. } The overall increase in consumption (MB) as well as the need for ever-increasing speeds (Mbps) may require ISPs to embrace technologies beyond what is currently envisioned as the industry evolves from broadband technologies to wideband technologies. This change in the environment needs to be evaluated from the view of an ISP/ content provider like a cable company and the new technologies and capabilities it needs to embrace to ensure relevance in the ever-changing world.
