Information Design for Plant Management to Predict Equipment Failure (semester?), IPRO 303

The present IPRO is a continuing research based on the findings of the previous semester during which they concluded that planned maintenances in a coal fired plant are carried out by ‘Engineering Specialists’ and the ‘Operations Manager” whereas unplanned outages are taken care of by the ‘Shift Supervisor’ . These findings lead us to our primary goals, namely: • To conduct a “Day-in-the-Life” study for both the two categories of personnel described above by direct solicitation of information from plant personnel. • Develop methods to gather this information such as surveys and/or interviews. • Compile the gathered data into a comprehensive report which should benefit the sponsor in better understanding their potential users.Deliverables for IPRO 303: Information Design for Plant Management to Predict Equipment Failure for the Fall 2007 semeste

House of the Future (semester?), IPRO 301200

In 1983, a group of students from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology began work on a project that described what a house of the future would entail. This team ended up winning the grand prize (10,000,000 yen) at the first International Design Competition held in Osaka, Japan because their creative and innovative ideas about how a house of the future should be built 22 years later, in 2005, IIT’s Interprofessional Projects program started the Sustainable Village Project, an endeavor to build a sustainable and environmentally-aware community on the IIT campus. Part of this project was to design the house of the future in such a fashion as would fit in with the Sustainable Village. Through use of research both in the 1983 House of the Future, as well as the House of the Future developed in the spring of 2005, this semester IPRO 301 – Back to the House of the Future had the task of establishing a system of ideas and concepts which could be globally integrated to change the way modern housing is viewed and approached by builders and residents alike. Instead of simply being a structure that disrupts the environment and depletes natural resources, the house of the future will allow for the building of units which can be integrated into the environment and are more sustainable and efficient. By developing a methodology based on next-generation design principles, key technological advances, and considerations for building regulations and human health and safety concerns, IPRO 301 will lay a universal framework for constructing Houses of the Future of all shapes and sizes.Deliverables for IPRO 301: House of the Future for the Spring 2006 semeste
