Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university which adopted the German university model and emphasized laboratory instruction from an early date.

The institute has five schools and one college, containing a total of 32 academic departments, with a strong emphasis on scientific and technological research. MIT is considered as one of two private land-grant universities and is also a sea-grant and space-grant university.

William Barton Rogers founded the institute in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States. MIT has extended its campus area of 168-acre to over 1 mile along the northern bank of the Charles River basin, since its inception in 1916. MIT researchers were involved in efforts to develop computers, radar, and inertial guidance in connection with defense research during World War II and the Cold War. In the past 60 years, MIT’s educational programs have expanded beyond the physical sciences and engineering into social sciences like economics, philosophy, linguistics, political science, and management.
