Details of MIT. .
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, covering an area of 65,438+068 acres (68.0 hectares). The mascot is beaver, the nickname of NCAA sports team is engineer, and the school motto is "Mens et Manus". The English translation is: heart and hand. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has always been among the best in the rankings initiated by major authoritative organizations around the world. In the latest USNEWS Global University Rankings [1] and QS World University Rankings [2], MIT ranks first in the world. In the latest academic ranking of ARWU World University of Shanghai Jiaotong University [3], it ranks third in the world; 2065 438+03 us news American universities ranked sixth in overall.

MIT was founded on 186 1 by the famous natural scientist william barton rogers, who graduated from the famous southern school William and Mary College. He hopes to establish a free college to adapt to the rapidly developing America. Due to the civil war, MIT didn't welcome the first batch of students until 1865, and then it developed rapidly in the fields of nature and engineering. During the Great Depression, MIT was once considered to merge with Harvard University, but was forced to cancel the plan under the protest of its students. MIT moved from Boston to Cambridge. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a comprehensive private university in the United States. Located in Boston, Massachusetts, the Charles River separates it from Boston's Back Bay. The mascot is a beaver. Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a very important influence in the United States and the world, and has trained many people who have great influence on the world. It is a pioneer university in the field of high-tech and advanced research in the world. MIT enjoys an excellent reputation in the fields of natural science and engineering science in the world, as well as management, economics, philosophy, politics and linguistics. Because of its outstanding academic achievements, although MIT is not a member of an Ivy League school, it is often included in the Ivy League. [5]

By 2009, 78 Nobel Prize winners had studied or worked at MIT. After the unremitting efforts of generations of MIT, today, whenever someone mentions "the best university of technology in the world", everyone pushes MIT. Massachusetts is a household name overseas and has become a science hall for students all over the world. MIT enjoys an excellent reputation in the fields of natural science and engineering science in the world, as well as management, economics, philosophy, politics and linguistics. In addition, MIT has developed high-tech weapons, the top secret Lincoln Laboratory in the United States, world-class computer science and artificial intelligence laboratories, and world-class media laboratories, and trained many world-class CEOs. Si Long School of Management is also a famous and valuable asset of MIT. [6]

name

From the name, the correct translation of MIT should be "MIT", but the translation of MIT existed as early as the Qing Dynasty, so it was misused. In North America, institute refers to schools, colleges and universities (science, engineering, science and technology, technology or specialties). According to the academic environment of each school, translation into Chinese is different. MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) should be translated into Chinese as "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" according to the faculty size and academic environment of its school, but most people in China are used to calling it MIT.

In addition, it should be noted that many people call MIT the University of Massachusetts. In fact, "MIT" and "Massachusetts University" are not the same concept. The University of Massachusetts (UMass) is a large multi-campus public university in Massachusetts. The University of Massachusetts is also a good school, with five campuses all over the state, especially the University of Massachusetts at amherst, which is listed as one of the "public Ivy League" universities. The other four campuses (Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell and Medical College) also have their own strengths. However, in terms of absolute scientific research strength and international influence, MIT is still superior to MIT.

The library of MIT is rich in resources, with a collection of 5 million volumes. The content of the library covers everything, including books on engineering, management, architectural design and science, which is very suitable for students to consult during their research. In 2002, MIT also implemented the open course web page, at which time 500 courses were published (by the end of 2006, 2,000 courses had been opened), with a view to establishing a global unified knowledge base, so that users all over the world can know all kinds of professional knowledge and obtain valuable information through the Internet. This plan has been highly praised by scholars all over the world. MIT is not for profit. It clearly tells users that they can freely use related resources, but they can't be used for commercial transactions or as their own property, because network knowledge is enjoyed by * * *. [7]
