Show moreBuilding upon the previous semesters’ work, IPRO 315 has been devoted to improving fast food drive-through order accuracy through modern technology. We divided into two teams with separate and specific goals: 1) the Wireless team implemented Shure transmitters and receivers into the server and client modules to make the connection between the restaurant and kiosk wireless, and ensured that the audio fidelity did not degrade from the wired connection, and 2) the Voiceless team designed and programmed an iPad application used to place orders within a short range of the same kiosk, ensuring a first-in-first-out queue compatible with the existing drive-through queue

Show moreThis IPRO is a continuation of the work of the IPRO 314, which is focusing on improving the efficiency of gasoline and hybrid vehicles through the use of ultra capacitors. The goal is to actually develop a hybrid electric vehicle with ultra capacitor augmentation. The need to improve the efficiency for vehicles using internal combustion engines is critical in order to reduce oil consumption and pollution in United States. Hybrid vehicles (e.g., those that use a combination of gas and electric power) also need to reduce cost and improve battery efficiency. The use of ultra capacitor technology in conjunction with electric generators and motors can assist in powering electrical equipment, braking operations, and charging batteries. This hands-on project will afford students the opportunity to research an apply concepts of mechanical, electrical, power, computer, economics, environmental, and materials engineering to hybrid vehicle technology

Show moreCurrently there are several countries throughout the world that have a large need for affordable housing. Our IPRO is currently dealing with solutions for Juarez, Mexico and Chicago, Illinois. These two places are very different in climate, culture, as well as economy. Our IPRO this semester will focus on applying the prototype from last semester to these two regions, while making adjustments as needed. We will continue the research into systems which will be advantageous to each situation and develop them accordingly. Once we get a better understanding as to how we can apply our prototype to these situations we will be better able to apply the prototype to various other countries throughout the world.

Show moreThe course IPRO-305 is geared towards giving the students practical product development experience by addressing the problem statement provided by the workshop sponsor (and our client), Honeywell, Inc. During the course of this workshop, we will implement the formative stages of a user-centered design process by developing and prototyping design concepts based on an understanding of existing social networks in small business communities in two neighborhoods, Pilsen/Little Village in Chicago and Powai in Mumbai. The goal will be to develop product, communication or service designs that contribute to increasing prosperity and small business growth within the Chicago and Mumbai neighborhoods. This project will be undertaken in collaboration with graduate students at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-Bombay) and their Industrial Design Centre, (comparable to IIT Institute of Design), as well as staff at Honeywell in Bangalore and Minneapolis. By working on this project students, both undergraduate IPRO students and graduate IIT, Chicago’s design school students are intended to gain proficiency in remote research methods and collaborating with your contemporaries abroad on a global design project. The flavor of this effort will be a practical or professional one, working towards implementation and design refinement. At the end of this experience, all participating students should have: 1. a solid understanding of methods and artifacts necessary to conduct design research internationally 2. experience in applying design and business practices to economic development issues 3 3. a basic understanding of existing social networks in 2 small business communities and how design can help address these 4. established professional relationships with Indian designers who share a human-centered mindset 5. a portfolio-ready project, complete with a recognizable client

Show moreFinkl is an industrial steel manufacturer of custom, high quality steel parts for other industries (stamp molding for auto, aircraft landing gear, die steel for other manufactures, etc) The company performs the entire process from smelting the steel, casting and forging, heat treating, and machining of their parts. Currently in their heat treatment process at Finkl, approximately 10% of their parts that are below company quality standards. Finkl has no efficient way of tracking where specific parts are in relation to each other while in the furnace. So when a part comes out below standards, it is hard to trace back where that part was in the furnace and why it was not treated properly. Finkl has enlisted the help of IIT students, which plan to implement a software program that Finkl can use to create a virtual furnace with the parts that will be heat treated and their specific locations in the furnace. When parts come out below quality standards, the program would allow Finkl to examine the location of the parts within the furnace and determine the reason for sub-par quality. The previous semester IPRO was able to develop a software program that displayed the different Finkl shapes; however, the program only displays a single shape at a time without the ability to move or resize the shape. They were also able to model about half of the Finkl shape codes in ProE. . When a large number of parts fail, they must be retreated to meet company quality standards. Taking the time to retreat the process takes both time and money away from the company. If we can help to identify the cause of the heat treatment failure, this would save the company a large amount of money each year. To be able to determine the cause of the heat treat failure, the team hopes to develop a visual database of the furnace layout to help track parts location within the furnace.
