This course provides an introduction to mechanics, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism and light. This is a hands-on, laboratory/activity-based course.  Laboratory fee applies.

This course is a physical science option for students in the humanities, social sciences, or communication arts.  It develops and explains some of the important findings of classical and modern physical science.  Topics will vary.

Students are introduced to physical principles and their application to students' everyday experience with weather.

This course is designed for students requiring a general science class that integrates physics, chemistry, biology and environmental science.  This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence.  Topics covered include the practice of science, measurement, experimentation, forces and motion, optics, heat, energy, wave motions, atomic structure, chemical reactions, and an introduction to astronomy including the evolution of stars and an understanding of the solar system.  Emphasis is placed on the integration of these concepts across the physical, chemical and biological disciplines.  Lecture students must also concurrently enroll in 17-121, a weekly lab that reinforces concepts reviewed in the lecture section.

This course is the laboratory companion to 17-120 Integrated Science 1. This course must be taken concurrently with 17-120. Laboratory fee applies.

This course covers units and measurement, vectors, forces and motion, drag and lift, equilibrium of forces during flight, energy, momentum, and gravitation. Selected topics related to aviation and avionics from rotational and oscillatory motion, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics; electricity; electrical energy; magnetism; electromagnetic induction; linear and wave optics; atmospheric optics; and chemical and material properties. This is an integrated lecture/lab course. Laboratory fee applies.

The purpose of this course is to provide secondary education teachers with an introductory overview of the solar system, stars, galaxies, and the universe as a whole. The formation, evolution, and properties of each are discussed.

Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) courses in this category introduce the major to the basic concepts significant to the study of aerospace engineering.  Courses include MMAE 100 Introduction to the Profession (4);  MMAE 200 Introduction to Mechanics (4);   MS 201 Materials Science (3).
