The Journal highlights and promotes a wide range of undergraduate student research throughout campus, from law to mechanical engineering to biochemistry to psychology. It will also provide a forum of interdisciplinary discussion on topics involving the latest advancements, the most controversial debates, and the most intriguing questions in different fields based on short, original, and insightful articles about science that will be catered to a wide audience. Submissions to the journal are reviewed by our distinguished student led advisory board, with final edits approved by the esteemed Dr. Oscar Juarez. </span></p>http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/53Diversity and Excellence in IIT's Student Population2024-04-28T19:45:13+00:00Esha Rautlibrary@iit.edu<p>Information about IIT's student population</p>2023-02-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/54Image Processing Integration into Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry to Remotely Sense Freshwater Surface2024-04-28T19:43:58+00:00Lan Tranlibrary@iit.eduSeebany Datta-Barualibrary@iit.eduRoohollah Parvizilibrary@iit.edu<p>Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a technique that detects signals reflected off the surface and analyzes the reflected signals to obtain surface characteristics. This technique was used to differentiate between surface ice and water condition of Lake Michigan in Chicago. To confirm GNSS-R results validity, a separate reference is needed to compare with. A sensor fusion of camera and a lidar was used to reconstruct the lake surface. This reconstructed surface was as a reference to compare with GNSS-R results. Since the current camera frames rate being used to reconstruct the lake surface using the sensor fusion of camera and lidar is two frames per minute, this research explores the effect of increasing the camera frames rate on the reconstructed surface.</p>2023-02-06T16:52:20+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/55Social Media vs. User Age2024-04-28T19:43:51+00:00Ayesha Mahmoodlibrary@iit.edu<p>Social Media vs. User Age</p>2023-02-06T16:58:17+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/56Religious Stereotypes in TV Shows2024-04-28T19:43:44+00:00Ayesha Akramlibrary@iit.edu<p>Religious Stereotypes in TV Shows</p>2023-02-06T17:08:32+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal http://urj.library.iit.edu/index.php/urj/article/view/57The "Art" of Medicine - Communication in Primary Care2024-04-28T19:43:38+00:00Adeelah Shamshuddinlibrary@iit.edu<p>The "Art" of Medicine - Communication in Primary Care</p>2023-02-06T17:13:27+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Illinois Tech Undergraduate Research Journal
