Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program – 312.567.3162 / https://ipro.iit.edu/ The IPRO office is located in the Kaplan Institute, 3317 S. Federal Street.
Teamwork, communication, innovation, and complex problem-solving skills make successful professionals. Since 1995, the IPRO team project course has been teaching Illinois Tech students how to excel in the workplace by providing them the practical tools that can make a difference in their professional lives. The IPRO Program engages multidisciplinary teams of undergraduate students in semester-long projects. Corporations, entrepreneurial ventures, non-profits, governmental agencies, Illinois Tech students and faculty bring their organization’s problems/project ideas to us and we put a team of students to work on it. An Illinois Tech faculty mentor, in conjunction with the input of a liaison from the sponsoring organization, guides a dedicated team of Illinois Tech students from across Illinois Tech’s professional programs (applied technology, architecture, business, engineering, science & letters, and psychology).
IPRO students develop skills which are critical to professional success, including: working as part of an effective multidisciplinary team; how to innovate and invent; leadership and decision making; balancing costs, benefits and ethical issues; planning and managing complex projects, and; how to meet mission critical dates and deadlines. In brief, the IPRO Program prepares students to make early and substantive contributions in their professions.
We regularly feature IPRO tracks on mobile device apps, venture development, process improvement, information technology & communications solutions, engineering research & design, applied research, community development, and service learning.
The interprofessional course is an Illinois Tech general education requirement. All undergraduates must complete at least two 3-credit IPRO courses. Graduate students are encouraged to enroll in an IPRO project course as well, and may receive elective credit toward their degree.
