First, the school introduction
Massachusetts Institute of Technology was founded in 186 1, and its main campus was built on the Charles River. It is a world-renowned top private research university and a member of the Global University Presidents Forum. In the early days, MIT focused on applied science and engineering. Later, MIT researchers contributed to the development of science and technology such as computer, radar and inertial navigation system.
Second, the school history
19 16, MIT moved to the bank of Cambridge on the Charles River near Harvard University, and the coastline extended over 1 mile to make land for reclamation. This "new science and technology" campus is full of neoclassical architectural style. 20 18 10, MIT will use one billion dollars to establish a new artificial intelligence college-MIT Schwarczman Computer College.
The new college will start in September 20 19, and the teaching place is located in the new building scheduled to open in 2022. Schwarczman Computer College of MIT is a university-wide entity, and will cooperate with five existing colleges of MIT to establish 25 "Bridge" colleges, which will serve as the key connecting points between the two universities.
Advantages and future development of MIT.
First, the strength of running a school
The engineering department of MIT is the most famous department with the largest number of applicants and the most "difficult to read". For seven years in a row, he won the championship of engineering postgraduate courses, among which electronic engineering is the most famous, followed by mechanical engineering.
Physics, chemistry, economics, philosophy, politics, architecture and other subjects are also excellent. Supply chain management, which has emerged in recent decades, is also the strength of MIT. MIT's MLOG project ranks first in the United States for many years in a row, and has established good cooperative relations with Fortune 500 companies.
Second, the future development
1, attract the best students and teachers, and provide students with a wonderful and effective living and learning environment.
2. Committed to the research of basic science, but should be in a leading position in the new mode of integration of research, learning and practice.
3. Committed to the spirit of learning, exploring and criticizing, and good at combining industry, government and academia to explore and solve major problems facing the world.
4. Continue to ensure strong plans in the fields of arts, humanities and social sciences.
