200

This course offers a study of the fundamental laws of mechanics, material properties, fluids, and heat.

This laboratory reinforces the concepts discussed in 17-200 and develops experimental skills.  Laboratory fee applies.

This course is a study of waves and sound, electricity, magnetism, light, and topics in modern physics.

This laboratory reinforces the concepts discussed in 17-205 and develops experimental skills.  Laboratory fee applies.

This course is the first of three introductory calculus-based Physics courses and provides the foundation for the other two.  Translational, rotational, and oscillatory motions of objects and the forces and torques acting on them are covered. Newton's Laws and the laws of conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum are emphasized.

This is the laboratory component to 17-210.  Experiments reinforcing topics in mechanics are conducted.  Measurement techniques and data analysis are emphasized. Laboratory fee applies.

This is the laboratory component to 17-215.  Experiments reinforcing topics in electricity and magnetism are conducted.  Electric circuits are a primary focus of this laboratory.  Measurement techniques and data analysis will be emphasized. Laboratory fee applies.

This course is a calculus-based introduction to waves, light, thermodynamics, and modern physics. Wave properties, electromagnetic radiation, geometric and wave optics, heat and thermodynamics, special relativity, and an introduction to modern physics will be covered. 17-215 and 17-218 may be taken in any order.

Basic D.C. and A.C. circuit theory is reviewed, including semiconductor electronic devices and theory and application of these devices as linear circuit elements in power supplies, amplifiers, communication circuits and control circuits. The emphasis is on experimental techniques.

Students explore electronic instruments and techniques used in research, in science and in digital computers. Theory and experiments emphasizing the use and design of digital circuits are examined as well.

The Illinois Institute of Technology foundation course which provides exploration of a special topic necessary for further study of aerospace engineering is MMAE 202 Mechanics of Solids II (3).

The Illinois Institute of Technology 200-level courses provide a foundation for later courses in mechanical engineering.  Courses include: MS 201 Materials Science (3), MMAE 202 Mechanics of Solids II, and MMAE 232 Design for Innovation (3).
