IPRO COURSE OVERVIEW
The Interprofessional Project inspires collaborative innovation. The IPRO course offers students experience in tackling a semester-long open-ended challenge as part of an interdisciplinary team. Project topics reflect the diversity of the workplace, thereby offering a wide range of choices for students to apply knowledge from their disciplines, and tackle a challenge that fits their career interests, passion or experience. Students seeking an IPRO course have two overall format options to choose from and several different themes/topics to choose from with different faculty teams and on different days/times.
This new class format allows sponsors to engage with a large, diverse set of students from Illinois Tech. The sponsor organization will offer a challenge and then 50 to 100 students (divided into small inter-disciplinary teams of 3 to 5 students) will spend the semester developing either a working prototype or a rigorous research paper based on the challenge. We will work with individual sponsors to design an appropriate engagement including opportunities for recruiting and employee / student mentoring.

This is the “classic” IPRO format, a rigorous research and development project that is specified by one or more full time faculty members. A small group of students (between 10 to 15) work closely with the faculty on all aspects of the project.
