Show moreDr. Ophir Frieder and Dr. David Grossman have completed a draft manuscript for an introductory book on Computer Science. The impulse behind this book is dissatisfaction with the way introductory computer science is currently taught. To our knowledge, there has yet to exist a text that focuses on semantic and algorithmic issues, rather than purely syntactical. Most students get bogged down by the intricacies of the programming language itself, which hinders their problem solving development. This book, in contrast to its many predecessors, will use the Ruby programming language. The language offers some good pedagogical aspects and this is couple with the fact that it is also becoming extremely popular in industry (e.g. 37Signals, as featured in BusinessWeek). By using Ruby, the team aims to aid students in learning semantic and algorithmic issues rather than the syntactical problems they face when learning other languages such as C++ and Java. In Fall 2007, the IPRO developed problem sets with solutions for the book, improved its examples, and developed sidebars. This semester, the IPRO will focus on testing the book with students new to computer science

Show moreThe objective of IRPO 323 is to find and optimize a system to deliver drinkable water to communities that do not have easy access to water. Mainly in locating a water source accessible to the region based on geographical limitations. From there, creation of a system to draw out the water in order to meet the demands of the people based on their lifestyle. The system has to be easy to maintain, fulfill the water requirement, and is cost effective in the life of the design. However, in order to fully understand the system and its limitations a test model will be used. In order to accomplish this project in a timely manner each individual will have to learn, develop, and apply interpersonal skills, research methods, and coordination. The set objectives, therefore, are: Evaluate water sources and water demands of the target community Design a system for this community Research products and costs for system components Create a test model to better understand the system components

Show moreIPRO 339 is focused on providing an affordable housing option for the working poor in Juarez, Mexico. This semester we will research the technologies involved in reusing shipping containers for this housing. We will design a prototype housing unit which will relate to other units in an overall community, with services such as commerce, open spaces for activity, and community centers to support them. We wish to design a housing community that embodies the ideals of humanity, affordability, functionality, opportunity, sustainability, durability, safety, culture, and neighborhood. In order to do this, our team for the Spring Semester has set forth the following objectives: • Research and understand the users of our product by looking at the social, economic, and physical factors in Juarez, Mexico and in the Maquiladoras where they work. • Research the most cost efficient and sustainable ways of incorporating plumbing, HVAC, and electricity into the homes. • Research the structural aspects of building this community. • Develop a potential site plan and floor plans and sections for the housing units. • Using our research and designs, develop a proposal for our sponsor, considering the client at hand.

Show moreFabrication Laboratories (Fab Labs) were started as a community outreach program by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to provide digital fabrication tools for rapid prototyping to the general public. The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago (MSI) has partnered with this IPRO to further develop their existing Fab Lab. IPRO 333 has been assigned the task of working with the Fab Lab administrators to design methodologies for furthering the use of the laboratory and determining its end goals for both the museum and the community. Once these goals are established, we will support them with a list of projects that we will create and execute. By working with the lab directors to broaden the possible uses of the lab, we hope to encourage hands-on learning in local schools. This will promote membership at MSI and involve the community in science and technology programs and education. To accomplish this, we have broken into two teams, each of which will focus on a different audience. The first team will be responsible for designing and creating programs for more advanced and knowledgeable users of the equipment specific to the Fab Lab, such as the students enrolled in the Science Achievers program as well as museum members; the second team will be responsible for designing and implementing programs for less advanced users with more constrained timeframes, such as visiting families or groups of school children.

Show morePrivate 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.
