Show moreIPRO 325’s objective is to create a program at IIT which looks to make an impact in the most immediate problems dealing with the world’s rural poor. We seek to do this by becoming familiar with the current trends and events throughout the world which address these poverty issues. We will also examine the Agencies and Universities which are working towards annihilating the world’s grossly impoverished areas.

Show moreVery little unbiased information is available to the general public about energy needs, concerns, and sources. The philosophy behind IPRO 332 is that people should be sufficiently educated about their own energy choices to be able think critically about the corresponding consequences. This IPRO team will build on the work underway since Spring 2007 in developing effective methods for educating high school students about energy and sustainability, expanding our outreach to junior high school students. In addition, the team will: (1) Construct a Teaching Kit to extend the reach of the program beyond the Chicago metropolitan area to provide educators with the materials they will need to present the modules on their own and tailor it to their classrooms; (2) Complete the full-scale launch of the organization’s website, www.howmanyearths.com, to enrich the learning experience, provide a professional contact interface and build a community of engaged teachers and students; (3) Execute a formal marketing plan to build awareness of our efforts, establish our brand image, promote our work, and greatly increase visibility; and (4) Pursue grants and funding with the goal of establishing a viable, long-term, not-for-profit organization.

Show moreThe objective of IPRO 341 is to assist Versatility Tool Works with the design, testing, and marketing of an industrial strength tool cabinet. Ideally, one or more of the drawers in the cabinet should be capable of holding 450 pounds of equipment, and have a lifespan of 20,000 cycles. (One (1) cycle is defined as one opening and closing of the drawer.) Extra features to include in the design of the cabinet will also be investigated to try to make the cabinet more marketable. However, it will be important to first determine what progress has been made thus far so that this semester’s design improvements can be better demonstrated.

Show moreThe IPRO 336 team is working with National Pasteurized Eggs, Inc. to create and test a new marketing strategy for the Davidson’s brand pasteurized eggs. Pasteurized eggs are a reasonably new product in the egg industry and, as of yet, have not gained a large percentage of retail market sales. Pasteurized eggs are comparable in many aspects to their competitors but offer the added advantage of being virtually bacteria and salmonella free. Due to this fact, Davidson’s eggs have grown exponentially in the food service market, especially for hospitals and other locations catering to at-risk groups. The company is now seeking to expand in the retail market and is looking to revise their current marketing strategy to meet this goal, with the help of the IPRO team. After an initial review, the IPRO group split up into sub-groups that will focus on different aspects of the marketing plan, including Consumer Education/Psychology, Competitor Analysis, Display, Packaging/Labeling, Promotions, and Website Improvements. Through both secondary and primary research (in the form of consumer surveys), these groups will gain an understanding of the egg market, the average egg buyer, and how the marketing strategy can be most efficiently revised. Once the research has been completed, the sub-groups will be able to create a design or marketing technique in their area of improvement, test their ideas, and revise as necessary. The IPRO group is seeking a final product that will boost retail sales of Davidson’s pasteurized egg and increase consumer awareness of the large benefits of such a product.

Show moreThis dissertation studies the problem of approximating functions of d variables in a separable Banach space Fd. In particular we are interested in convergence and tractability results in the worst case setting and in the average case setting. The symmetric positive definite kernel in both settings is of a product form Kd(x, t) := d =1 1 − α2 + α2 Kγ (x , t ) for all x, t ∈ Rd. The kernel Kd generalizes the anisotropic Gaussian kernel, whose tractability properties have been established in the literature. For a fixed d, we study rates of convergence, which indicate how quickly approximation errors decay. Since rates of convergence can deteriorate quickly as d increases, it is desirable to have dimension-independent convergence rates, which corresponds to the concept of strong polynomial tractability. We present sufficient conditions on {α }∞ =1 and {γ }∞ =1 under which strong polynomial tractability holds for function approximation problems in Fd. Numerical examples are presented to support the theory and guaranteed automatic algorithms are provided to solve the function approximation problem in a straightforward and efficient way. viii

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.

There is also the possibility of broadening this program to other scholarly individuals outside of the IIT undergraduate community. These individuals include IIT graduate students, students from other universities, and promising high school students. ResearchWeb is also meant to improve the transition, and perhaps promote if need be, the transition from undergraduate education to graduate education. This would be fulfilled through practical research experience.

Show moreThe primary focus of this project is to help blind and visually impaired individuals to swim independently. The team will be divided into two sub-teams. One sub-team will create a passive device, which uses a mechanical device to provide tactile feedback to the swimmer. The other sub-team will create an active device which uses special electronic devices such as a sonar based device to help guide the swimmer. These devices will be repeatedly tested and updated to help increase the independence of blind and visually impaired individuals exercise and further improve their quality of life.
