Show moreNAVTEQ is the corporate sponsor for IPRO 305. NAVTEQ is one of the world’s largest digital mapping companies. With competitors, such as Google, NAVTEQ aims to outdo the competition by providing their clients with robust quality mapping data. NAVTEQ achieves this by employing over 1,000 geographic analysts who’s sole job is to ensure that the data on their maps is unique and, above all, accurate from each of NAVTEQ’s 80,000+ sources[citation 1]. On their quest to provide their clients with robust data, NAVTEQ has identified the need for user- generated content. This is data that a user of a GPS mapping system can enter in for themselves. With this recognition of usergenerated mapping data, NAVTEQ pursues the need to be the world’s most robust digital mapping data provider.

Show moreIn this talk we show the influence of the target on multiparticle production in the forward hemisphere in p+Pb collisions at top SPS energy. The multiplicity distributions appear to be almost target independent in the projectile fragmentation domain and the effect of fluctuations of the number of target participants is not seen in the projectile fragmentation region. We compare the obtained results with those for p+p interactions and predictions of models.

Show moreThe goal of IPRO 348 is to first find a use for the condensate produced by air conditioners, and then to create a product that will recycle the condensate for said use. The first task for IPRO 348 is to collect information on how condensate is formed, its purity, and the amount that is produced by a central air conditioning system. The end goal of the IPRO is to have a marketable system that will collect and store the condensate produced by the air conditioning units and will then proceed to use the condensate in the form of cleaning water, irrigation water, and possibly various plumbing purposes such as flushing toilets. After creating a viable product, the IPRO team is determined to make the product scalable, expanding its market from residential to commercial industries. To fulfill this goal, the IPRO team has been broken down into subgroups which are each responsible for a different objective. The first subgroup is responsible for the creation of a device that will allow for the condensate to be collected and stored. The second subgroup is responsible for analyzing the collected sample’s composition and checking for bacterial growth. The third subgroup is responsible for setting the parameters and methods for condensate collection. The fourth subgroup is responsible for obtaining the condensate samples from various sites, as well as collecting environmental data. The fifth subgroup is responsible for beginning the marketing aspects of the project. As a whole, the IPRO team will determine how the project should progress.

We plan to create a business model of a consulting firm that seeks out clients, as well as having clients brought to the firm, realize their needs, create a design document of their proposed website, then seek out the students with the capabilities matching the clients needs and “hire” them for the job, all the while maintaining that the quality of the student’s work will be sufficient to the client and therefore sufficient for our consulting firm. The start up companies/clients we gain will receive knowledge, expertise, and fresh ideas for a much needed website for their company/project. On the other hand the students will receive real-life experience working for a client in a certain timetable, with a standardized set of guidelines while also receiving some form of compensation.
