<p>IPRO</a> (Interprofessional Projects Program) at IIT joins together undergraduate students from various academic disciplines to work as a team to tackle a real-world problem. Students from architecture, engineering, and humanities may create low-cost shelter solutions, or chemistry, business, and law students may develop best practices in CO2-reducing technologies. Such experiential learning reinforces traditional education methods, providing students a richer academic experience.</p>
<p>IPRO projects are general education requirement courses; all undergraduate students are required to take two of them. Each IPRO project is organized as a team of 5-15 students typically in their junior or senior year. Many projects continue over multiple semesters and years, with continuing areas of investigation. No two semesters are ever alike. An Entrepreneurial IPRO (EnPRO) has the added dimension of business planning and new venture analysis.</p>
<p>IPRO project topics are submitted through an open proposal process and are accepted from students, faculty, corporations, non-profit organizations and entrepreneurs. More than 40 projects are offered each semester, and a full list of current projects can be viewed at Current</a> Projects IPRO (Interprofessional Projects Program) at IIT. </p>
<p>Incoming students are welcome to volunteer to work with teams on projects of interest to them, and they are also invited to attend the semester-end showcase of all of the IPRO teams' work, IPRO</a> Day IPRO (Interprofessional Projects Program) at IIT, on Friday, April 23rd.</p>
