Twelve Brazilian Scientific Mobility (BSMP) Student Projects are integrated with IIT’s IPRO Projects Day event to highlight the work of 30 students from Brazil enrolled in IIT courses during Summer 2014. This is under the auspices of IIT’s School of Technology (SAT) via the Industrial Technology and Management (INTM) Program and the Office of Professional Development (OPD). BSMP provides scholarships for students from Brazil to study engineering at an American University and complete 12-week special projects as part of their curriculum. Each project represents the work of BSMP student teams addressing specific problems within their fields, and developing prototypes and/or analyses of concepts and solutions.

Volunteer judges will evaluate the BSMP teams looking for the overall highest quality work based on professionalism, creativity, and accomplishments. At the IPRO Day closing ceremony, the top-ranked teams will be recognized by Mazin Safar, Program Director, Industrial Technology & Management, and Paulo Camargo, Consul-General of Brazil in Chicago.

The following is a list of the projects that will be on display:
