Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

About Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
The objective of the Boston Institution of Technical advancement is to advance information and inform students in technology, technology, and other sections of grant that will best serve the country and the entire globe these days. We are also driven to bring information to bear on the world’s great difficulties.

The Institution is a private, coeducational, independently gifted university, organized into five Educational institutions (architecture and planning; engineering; humanities, arts, and social sciences; management; and science). It has some 1,000 teachers, more than 11,000 undergrad and students, and more than 130,000 residing graduate student students.

At its beginning in 1861, MIT was an educational advancement, a community of hands-on problem solvers in love with fundamental technology as well as to create the entire globe a better place. Today, that soul still books how we inform students on university and how we shape new electronic studying technological innovation to create MIT educating accessible to millions of students all over the entire globe.

MIT’s soul of interdisciplinary finding has motivated many scientific developments and technological developments. A few examples: the first chemical features of penicillin and vitamin A. The growth of mouth and growth and growth of inertial guidance techniques. The innovation of magnetic core memory, which allowed the growth and growth of electronic computers. Major efforts to the Individual Genome Project. The finding of quarks. The innovation of the electronic worksheet and of security techniques that enable e-commerce. The growth of GPS. Revolutionary 3D printing. The concept of the growing galaxy.

Current research and education places include electronic learning; nanotechnology; maintainable energy, the environment, climate variation, and global water and food security; Big Data, cybersecurity, robotics, and synthetic intelligence; human health, including cancer, HIV, autism, Alzheimer’s, and dyslexia; scientific technological innovation and CRISPR technology; hardship alleviation; advanced manufacturing; and advancement and business.

MIT’s impact also includes the work of our graduate student students. One way MIT graduate student students drive progress is by starting organizations that deliver new ideas around the globe. Majority of folks reports that as of 2014, residing MIT graduate student students have released more than 30,000 active organizations, creating 4.6 million jobs and generating approximately $1.9 billion in yearly revenue. Taken together, this "MIT Nation" is equivalent to the 10th-largest economy in the world!

MIT MISSION
