IIT Stuart Undergraduate Students Showcase Work at Spring IPRO Day
On April 26, more than 55 student teams exhibited as part of IPRO Day. The Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program at IIT provides students with a team-based learning environment in which students from various concentrations and disciplines work together to solve a real-world problem.
Held each semester, IPRO Day is a chance for students to showcase their work, presenting to a variety of judges including faculty, industry professionals and graduate students. Nearly 30 IIT Stuart undergraduate students participated in the spring 2013 IPRO Day.
IIT Stuart students worked on projects ranging from sustainable urban agriculture, to refuelable electric vehicles, to optimizing a drive-thru experience using wireless and mobile technology.
