detail

The Little Knowledge of History was established on April 186 1 by the founder william barton rogers (a professor at the University of Virginia) who signed the articles of association by the Governor of Massachusetts General Court. Rogers put forward a passage at the beginning of school: "As I imagined, the real and only feasible goal of the Institute of Technology is teaching, not the tiny details and manipulation of art, which can only be carried out at seminars, but instilling the scientific principles that form the foundation. And explain them, together with this, conduct a comprehensive and orderly review of all major processes and operations related to the laws of physics. " People hope to establish an educational institution to cope with the rapid development of science and technology. Rogers' school-building and education plan embodies the model of German research university, emphasizing independent teachers to conduct research and guidance around seminars and laboratories. Due to the war years, the college began to recruit students, and 1865 started. This college is called "Boston Science and Technology" because it adopts the experimental teaching mode of European universities. /kloc-in the 0/9th century, this college established several colleges of electrical, chemical, marine and sanitary engineering. Teachers and alumni of this institution rejected charles eliot, president of Harvard University (a former professor at MIT), who tried to merge MIT with Lawrence School of Science at least six times. There will be at least six attempts to absorb MIT into Harvard University. 19 16, the college moved to its current location because of its small area. The college carried out curriculum reform in 1930s, emphasizing the importance of pure science such as physics and chemistry. The difference between this university and the Ivy League school is that it enrolls more students from middle-class families. The college was elected as a member of association of american universities on 1934. During World War II, engineers and scientists from all over the country gathered in the radiation laboratory of the college and devoted themselves to developing computer, radar and inertial navigation system technology. Defensive scientific and technological research after the war enabled the school to further develop. Under the leadership of James Ryan killian, the number of teachers and campus area increased. Since 1980s, the college has established major computer laboratories such as artificial intelligence laboratory, media laboratory and computer science experiment. The College established the Ocean College 1976. Aviation Academy was established in 1989. Since 2002, the college's open courseware project has provided more than 2,000 MIT online courses for free. In 2005, the college launched an initiative to expand computer education and connectivity for children all over the world. 2065438+In September 2007, the Institute established the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. On 20 18+00, a computer college specializing in artificial intelligence research was established in this college. College 20th11year150th anniversary. Today, the college provides students with professional courses with different degrees, such as bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree. The college has more than 12000 students, including foreign students from more than 100 different countries in the world. The college has a strong faculty, of which more than 35% are professors. Over the years since its establishment, the College has trained a large number of outstanding graduates, including 93 Nobel Prize winners, 8 Fields Prize winners, 25 Turing Prize winners, 52 National Science Medal winners, 45 Rhodes scholars, 38 MacArthur Prize winners, physicists, scientists, economists, engineers, economists, physicists, surgeons and staff of state institutions. The teaching and research of physical science and engineering in this college has always been famous, but in modern times, it has also vigorously developed other academic fields such as life science, economics, management, linguistics and so on. Over the years, the college has ranked first in American News and World Report, QS World University Rankings and academic ranking of world universities. The College was rated as one of the "six super brands" in the world by Times Higher Education, including five world-renowned universities: Berkeley, Cambridge, Harvard, Oxford and Stanford. In 20 17, the college's arts and humanities were ranked second by Times Higher Education World University. Researchers in this college invented or greatly developed magnetic core memory, radar, Coulomb resistance and inertial navigation system in electronic technology. Among them, Harold Kington is a pioneer in developing high-speed photography and sonar technology. Claude shannon contributed a lot to the development of modern information theory, and also opened up the application of digital circuits and logic algebra. Norbert wiener, marvin minsky, Joseph Wiesenbaum, Patrick Winston and rodney brooks are the faculty and researchers of this college. And Ronald Livingstone respectively laid the foundation for the development of cybernetics, artificial intelligence, computer language, machine learning, robotics and encryption technology. Since its establishment, the College has been forming academic research alliances with academic circles, industry, government and other institutions. 1946 College co-founded the first R&D group venture capital company in the United States with Compton President, Harvard Business School Professor George Dorio and Massachusetts Investment Trust Company Chairman Meryl Gristed. 1948, the college and Compton established the MIT-industry liaison project. The college and Harvard University jointly established Harvard-Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Medical Science and Technology and Bode Research Center. Students from two schools can also register for each other's courses without paying extra tuition fees. The school's cross-school curriculum partners include Wesleyan College, Boston University, Brandeis University, Tufts University, Massachusetts Institute of Art and Design, and Boston Museum of Fine Arts. In 2002, Cambridge-MIT Research Center was established with Cambridge University, and the two universities also held undergraduate exchange programs. The college has established close relations with independent research institutions such as Charles Stark draper Laboratory, White Rock Research Center and Woods Hole Oceanographic Research Center, and the two sides have close exchanges. The university's international science and technology initiative program is responsible for dealing with teaching and research cooperation with universities in other countries. This university is very active in international activities. The school has also established cooperative relations with many famous higher education institutions in different countries around the world. Every year, universities send teachers and students to study or practice in foreign schools to accumulate experience. The university often participates in international conferences, seminars and other international projects every year.
