and created much of modern hacker slang and culture. [112][113], The Kendall/MIT MBTA Red Line station is located on the northeastern edge of the campus, in Kendall Square. [78] More recently, MIT's research for the military has included work on robots, drones and 'battle suits'. Financial support for graduate students are provided in large part by individual departments. [45][46] The neoclassical "New Technology" campus was designed by William W. Bosworth[47] and had been funded largely by anonymous donations from a mysterious "Mr. Smith", starting in 1912. [4] Faculty members who have made extraordinary contributions to their research field as well as the MIT community are granted appointments as Institute Professors for the remainder of their tenures.

[205][206], MIT's graduate program has high coexistence with the undergraduate program, and many courses are taken by qualified students at both levels. A 1949 report noted the lack of "any great slackening in the pace of life at the Institute" to match the return to peacetime, remembering the "academic tranquility of the prewar years", though acknowledging the significant contributions of military research to the increased emphasis on graduate education and rapid growth of personnel and facilities. [40] The fledgling school still suffered from chronic financial shortages which diverted the attention of the MIT leadership. MIT Open Learning works with MIT faculty, industry experts, students, and others to improve teaching and learning through digital technologies on campus and globally. While the pace and difficulty of MIT coursework has been compared to "drinking from a fire hose",[195][196][197] the freshmen retention rate at MIT is similar to other research universities. [57], MIT's involvement in military science surged during World War II. [268][269], The MIT Museum was founded in 1971 and collects, preserves, and exhibits artifacts significant to the culture and history of MIT. Pritzker Prize-winning architects I.M.

[115], Alvar Aalto's Baker House (1947), Eero Saarinen's MIT Chapel and Kresge Auditorium (1955), and I.M. The focus of the new college is to study not just AI, but interdisciplinary AI education, and how AI can be used in fields as diverse as history and biology. [87][88] Despite diminishing government financial support over the past quarter century, MIT launched several successful development campaigns to significantly expand the campus: new dormitories and athletics buildings on west campus; the Tang Center for Management Education; several buildings in the northeast corner of campus supporting research into biology, brain and cognitive sciences, genomics, biotechnology, and cancer research; and a number of new "backlot" buildings on Vassar Street including the Stata Center. [329][330] MIT has never awarded an honorary degree, nor does it award athletic scholarships, ad eundem degrees, or Latin honors upon graduation. The institute has an urban campus that extends more than a mile (1.6 km) alongside the Charles River. â¨MITâs 17th president, July 2012 â present. While Microsoft had previously given financial support to the institution, this was the first personal donation received from Gates. [301] Five Pulitzer Prize–winning writers currently work at or have retired from MIT. [284] MIT biologists have been awarded six Nobel Prizes for their contributions to genetics, immunology, oncology, and molecular biology. Post-war government-sponsored research at MIT included SAGE and guidance systems for ballistic missiles and Project Apollo. You're kidding, right? [271] The federal government was the largest source of sponsored research, with the Department of Health and Human Services granting $255.9 million, Department of Defense $97.5 million, Department of Energy $65.8 million, National Science Foundation $61.4 million, and NASA $27.4 million. The Great Dome overlooks Killian Court, where graduation ceremonies are held each year. [180], MIT students refer to both their majors and classes using numbers or acronyms alone. [90][91] In 2006, President Hockfield launched the MIT Energy Research Council to investigate the interdisciplinary challenges posed by increasing global energy consumption. [199]) Also, freshmen may choose to join alternative learning communities, such as Experimental Study Group, Concourse, or Terrascope. [181] Departments and their corresponding majors are numbered in the approximate order of their foundation; for example, Civil and Environmental Engineering is Course 1, while Linguistics and Philosophy is Course 24. [293] Researchers developed a system to convert MRI scans into 3D printed physical models. [191] The Science Requirement, generally completed during freshman year as prerequisites for classes in science and engineering majors, comprises two semesters of physics, two semesters of calculus, one semester of chemistry, and one semester of biology. At the same time, and without the slightest sense of contradiction, MIT is profoundly global. [203][204], In 1970, the then-Dean of Institute Relations, Benson R. Snyder, published The Hidden Curriculum, arguing that education at MIT was often slighted in favor of following a set of unwritten expectations and that graduating with good grades was more often the product of figuring out the system rather than a solid education. [109] Gravitational waves were detected for the first time by the LIGO detector in 2015. The facility also provides state-of-the-art nanoimaging capabilities with vibration damped imaging and metrology suites sitting atop a 5-million-pound (2,300,000 kg) slab of concrete underground. [187] MIT offers 44 undergraduate degrees across its five schools. [42], In 1916, the MIT administration and the MIT charter crossed the Charles River on the ceremonial barge Bucentaur built for the occasion,[43][44] to signify MIT's move to a spacious new campus largely consisting of filled land on a one-mile-long (1.6 km) tract along the Cambridge side of the Charles River. Cohorts are organized into small teams who work on an entrepreneurial project together, in addition to individual learning and team coaching. It was designed to open the field of gravitational-wave astronomy through the detection of gravitational waves predicted by general relativity. [151] Because housing assignments are made based on the preferences of the students themselves, diverse social atmospheres can be sustained in different living groups; for example, according to the Yale Daily News staff's The Insider's Guide to the Colleges, 2010, "The split between East Campus and West Campus is a significant characteristic of MIT. Pei's Green, Dreyfus, Landau, and Wiesner buildings represent high forms of post-war modernist architecture. [d] MIT established a Washington Office in 1991 to continue effective lobbying for research funding and national science policy. [48], In the 1930s, President Karl Taylor Compton and Vice-President (effectively Provost) Vannevar Bush emphasized the importance of pure sciences like physics and chemistry and reduced the vocational practice required in shops and drafting studios. The institute also encompasses a number of major off-campus facilities such as the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the Bates Center, and the Haystack Observatory, as well as affiliated laboratories such as the Broad and Whitehead Institutes.

[275], In electronics, magnetic core memory, radar, single electron transistors, and inertial guidance controls were invented or substantially developed by MIT researchers. [94] While the cost of supporting and hosting the project is high,[95] OCW expanded in 2005 to include other universities as a part of the OpenCourseWare Consortium, which currently includes more than 250 academic institutions with content available in at least six languages. School of Architecture + Planning. [116][117] The MIT Museum will eventually be moved immediately adjacent to a Kendall Square subway entrance, joining the List Visual Arts Center on the eastern end of the campus. More issues. In 1941, Vannevar Bush was appointed head of the federal Office of Scientific Research and Development and directed funding to only a select group of universities, including MIT. [69][70] In this period MIT's various departments were researching helicopters, smart bombs and counterinsurgency techniques for the war in Vietnam as well as guidance systems for nuclear missiles. 617.253.4381.
