Spring 2009 IPRO Day
Here at IIT, we're very proud of our Interprofesional Projects program. IPRO, created in 1995, is a general education requirement for all IIT students; students from different academic departments come together to tackle real-world problems and learn through experience. IPRO teams frequently work with and/or are sponsored by corporate and community partners. A wealth of information about IPRO can be found at ipro.iit.edu.
I walked around Hermann Hall today where IPRO Day is being held and took a look at some of the projects presented this semester.
IPRO 306, Optimization of Sloan Valve's Global Supply Chain
;)
(Click each thumbnail for a full view!)The objective of this IPRO project was "to improve the efficiency of Sloan Valve Company's global supply chain." The team successfully met their goals of developing a production scheduling system and developing a "Six Sigma package training system," thereby helping the company with organization, employee training, and a way for them to review feedback that will further their ability to maintain sustainable improvements.
IPRO 318, Fuel Cells for the Future
;)
The problem statement: "The goal of this IPRO is to evaluate the feasibility of fuel cells in commercial applications (including military and defence, automotive and aerospace) by drafting a design that incoroporates a fuel cell system." The group was split into teams; different sub-groups each focused on researching fuel analysis, impurities, unmanned air vehicles and PBI fuel cell design, and two sub-groups were dedicated to designing electronics and fuel tank design. This particular IPRO proved difficult since the topic of fuel cells is still in its early stages.
IPRO 336, The Safety Eggsperts
;)
This IPRO team worked toward building effective marketing strategies for National Pasteurized Eggs (NPE) for their Davidson's Safest Choice Eggs. NPE ;)
has a patent for creating the only in-shell pasteurized eggs; however, being a small company, their resources for a large marketing campaign are limited. This IPRO group looked at a variety of methods, including buzz, viral, and guerilla marketing. An extraordinarily enthusiastic team member wore a cardboard egg over his suit today and attracted a large audience to watch a demonstration: a member of IIT's campus security drank seven raw eggs as a testament to there being zero risk of salmonella or food poisoning from them.
