Show moreWhat 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.

Show moreIPRO 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.

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 moreBulge Lab is an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) about masculinity, body image, and viruses. Michael DeAnda developed this ARG using a series of social media sites and blogs to post content and an email address that autoresponds to players using a series of filters and canned responses. The game begins on Bulge Lab, a fictitious underwear store developing products to make gay men more attractive by standards of hegemonic masculinity. This site serves as the rabbit hole for the ARG. Upon subscribing to the company’s newsletter, the player is told that one of the company’s prospective models has gone missing. By following a link to his blog, the player begins investigating what happened to him and serves as a detective for Bulge Lab. The contained file is a clickable walkthrough.

Show moreThe 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
