Illinois Tech’s Master of Engineering in Architectural Engineering and Master of High Performance Buildings programs earned the designation for their emphasis on sustainable design and energy efficiency.
“Everyone knows what it means to be depressed or (have) anxiety, but the fundamental thing about stigma is difference,” said Patrick Corrigan, Illinois Tech professor of psychology. “While one may get depressed occasionally or a bit euphoric once in a while, most people don't know what it's like to be in the throes of a manic episode.”
In Cultural Infrastructure: Prototyping Interventions for the Future Bronzeville Trail, Illinois Tech students across STEM disciplines explore the neighborhood culture and use what they learn to evaluate the trail’s sustainability, after which they’ll publish their findings and recommendations.

Researchers at the Institute of Food Safety and Health, a team-up between Illinois Tech and the US Food and Drug Administration, looked at the levels of magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium in almond, cashew, coconut, hemp, oat, pea, rice, and soy milks. They found that only pea and soy milk had higher levels of magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium than cow's milk. Pea milk had the highest, with 50 percent more phosphorus, zinc, and selenium, but soy milk did contain greater levels of magnesium.
