  • Inside IIT's IPRO Program
    A publication for the alumni and friends of Armour College of Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology A Distinctively Defined Education Inside IIT’s IPRO Program Alumni Profiles in Excellence Sherita Ceasar Ben Loper Ernest Selig Armour Research Biomedical Engineering Chemical and Biological Engineering Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Winter 2010 Electrical and Computer Engineering Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering Letter from the Dean A priority task for Armour College of Engineering is to develop and implement a strategic plan that subscribes to Many Voices, One Vision, IIT’s new strategic plan, approved by the Board of Trustees in May 2009. Areas where engineering is immediately building upon existing efforts include the Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program and interdisciplinary curriculum and research. I cannot stress enough the impact of the IPRO Program on Armour students. One of the distinctive educational icons of IIT, IPRO prepares our students for their chosen engineering disciplines. As we make the IPRO Program one of the top Armour priorities, we will be committed to continued excellence in technology- focused training while placing renewed emphasis on the entrepreneurial and ethical aspects of engineering. A feature on the IPRO Program appears on page 9 of this magazine. It is critical that we expand our research enterprise in areas of leading-edge engineering and applied science. Central to this is seeking out and encouraging interdisciplinary collaborations. While interdepartmental and cross-college endeavors promise to enhance Armour’s research profile, a key pursuit is innovation and knowledge creation. We are currently engaged in efforts to identify research areas that are not only of national priority but also consistent with our strengths, in order to strategically focus our growth and investment.

  • Illinois Institute of Technology 2008 Annual Report
    2008 Annual Report “ Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfi ts, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify forward: motion them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things...they push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.” —Apple Co-founder Steve Jobs Contents From the President 2 From the Chair 3 Students 4 Research 16 Community 36 Campus 48 Financials 59 Board 62 From the President t Illinois Institute of Technology, we see things differently. We view technology and innovation as the tools to propel society forward. Now more than ever, worldwide demand for cleaner energy, better education for tomorrow’s leaders, and solutions to vexing medical issues place IIT in a position where the work we do can Ayield powerful results. In order to make a broad impact, we know that IIT needs to establish its place among the top universities in the country. In my inauguration as president last year, I described how IIT must capitalize on its areas of expertise if the university is to move toward higher plateaus. The IIT community has rallied behind this charge and set into motion Many Voices, One Vision, a strategic initiative designed to advance the university.

  • I. Introduction
    I. Introduction A. The University Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational and urban university emphasizing education for the professions, research, and scholarship. The university offers programs in engineering, science, architecture, law, business, psychology, and design, and is a member of the Association of Independent Technological Universities. With its contract research arm, IIT Research Institute (IITRI), IIT is a major center of applied science and engineering research. IIT has five campuses in the Chicago area: the Main Campus on Chicago’s mid-South Side; the Downtown Campus in Chicago’s West Loop; the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Campus in west suburban Wheaton; the Moffett Campus in south suburban Bedford Park, where the National Center for Food Safety and Technology is located; and the Institute of Design (ID) at 350 N. LaSalle St., in Chicago. In the 1950’s, the university’s Main Campus was designed by master architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and has been designated one of the 200 most architecturally significant sites in the United States. The opening in 2003 of a new campus center designed by Rem Koolhaas and a dormitory by renowned architect Helmut Jahn has broadened and enhanced the architectural significance of the Main Campus. B. History In 1890, when advanced education was often reserved for society's elite, Chicago minister Frank Gunsaulus delivered what came to be known as the “Million Dollar Sermon.” From the pulpit of his South Side church—near the site IIT now occupies—Gunsaulus said that with a million dollars he could build a school where students of all backgrounds could prepare for meaningful roles in a changing society.

As I think about the importance of the university alumni and faculty who preceded us, I think of this quote. IIT has more than 65,000 living alumni throughout the United States and the world. The achievements of our graduates are not only a source of pride for the university, but also a measure of our success in educating those who have made the contributions. While important creations and discoveries have been made at IIT, the dominant contributions to society have been through our graduates. The work of our alumni has led to the invention and development of technologies and products such as the cellular phone, magnetic recording, the first nuclear reactor for industrial research, the Pentium processor, and even electro-optical night vision equipment. However, bragging about these achievements is not enough. For sustained success, IIT needs engaged alumni who promote the university and stay connected. The prominence of a university is as much dependent on alumni support as it is on the accomplishments of current students and faculty. The university has not done a good job of developing engaged alumni.

    WINTER 2007 innovation COVER STORY: How to Get by design Ahead in Business? Tap into Innovation A SERIES OF MIRACLES TUNNEL VISION Professor’s ROBERT PRITZKER AND JOHN ROWE IIT Students and Faculty Help Wind Tunnel Research Defi nes The Former and New Board of Trustees Rebuild After Katrina a 40-Year Connection with IIT Chairs Weigh in on the Future of IIT LETTER FROM THE Last month the fi rst real snow of the winter started to fall…and fall, and fall on the Chicago area. It was December 1, and schools were closing, trains were running behind schedule, and the “City that Works” kicked into high gear to clear expressways and shovel us out from under the blanket. And while students on a typical college campus might hope for a “snow day” on such an occasion, the students of IIT had another focus in mind—IPRO Day. Nearly 400 students set their alarms even earlier to ensure they were ready to battle the snow and present their projects—from hybrid electric school bus designs to an analysis of public perceptions of nanotechnology— before a group of eager faculty, project sponsors, fellow students, alumni, and friends. So while the weather was not on our side, the quality and the scope of the IPRO presentations, as well as the enthusiasm of our students, could not be dampened. The innovative spirit of the IPRO program, now offi cially housed in Stuart School of Business, is being bolstered by a new joint-degree program between the Stuart School and the Institute of Design.

    EDUCATOR DARSH WASAN of the Illinois Institute of Technology DAVID EDWARDS,* DIMITRI GrnASPOW, MARY DAWSON Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, IL 60616 "In his lectures, he's a spellbinder, an honest-to-goodness twentieth century Indian snake charmer," is how one former colleague describes Illinois Institute ofTechnology's Darsh W asan. Professor Octave Levenspiel, now at Oregon State University, understands the students' enchantment. He says, "Darsh is an exciting teacher because he is concerned with young people-his students-and he is in love with his subject. Research ideas bubble from him, and students flock to work with him. He works them hard, with evening and weekend conferences, but they love it. I'd say that close to half the students in the department did their theses with him. " W asan' s love for teaching and his ability to inspire even been accepted into a medical school in his his students were evident right from the start of his native Bombay. But then his oldest brother, Madan academic career. He came to the Illinois Institute of (who was studying for his doctorate in mathema­ Technology in Chicago in 1964 after receiving his tical statistics in the United States), proposed what PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, and proved to be an irresistable alternative for Darsh: by the academic year 1966-67, all of his undergradu­ chemical engineering.

That means they must continue to hone their academic disciplines through research and other creative enterprises and to publish their findings. Even though excellent classroom teaching is their primary academic duty, faculty members also have a responsibility to extend the boundaries of knowledge because it is in this pursuit that the creative aspect of education is found and the seeds of innovation are sown. Research—and other creative endeavors—has many starting points. It might begin as a question over coffee with a colleague and then move to a search of the existing literature to see what other scholars have learned about the issue or how they have approached a particular problem. The next step might be a study based upon observation of behavior or a laboratory experiment. All good research, however, has certain things in common. It is rigorous, reproducible, and methodical. Publications are subject to peer review by experts; other researchers are able to follow the process and replicate the results. From the research come more questions, which will lead to additional discovery. It is through research that important “life lessons” are also learned.

Among its recommendations, the “Report of the Subpanel on the Long- Range Future of U.S. High-Energy Physics” calls for creating a system for prioritizing particle physics projects and, eventually, for building a new international particle accelerator “somewhere in the world”— preferably somewhere nearby. The new plan is the product of a 22-member HEPAP Subpanel, charged by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation with the daunting task of consulting with the U.S. particle physics community to produce a plan for the future of a field that, in recent years, has been hard pressed to maintain its leading edge. Straitened federal funding for U.S. particle physics, and indeed for all of the physical sciences, has left cash-strapped physicists struggling to maintain momentum in a science where Americans have traditionally led the field. The Subpanel’s report represents, if not a consensus on the best way forward, at least as close to consensus as they are likely to get in a community where strongly held opinions are as divergent as particles in a high-energy collision.
