MIT Majors:
MIT's engineering department is the most well-known, most applicant-friendly, and most "difficult" to read, and has won the first place in engineering graduate programs in the United States for seven consecutive years, with electrical engineering being the most famous, followed by mechanical engineering. Karl Williambrock, executive director of the American Society for Engineering Education, once said, "If MIT suddenly disappears, it's a worry." They are the IBM of engineering. "The rest of the disciplines such as physics, chemistry, economics, philosophy, political science, and architecture are also very good. In recent decades, the rise of the ** chain management major (supply chain management) is also the strength of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT's mlog (Master of Engineering in Logistics) program has been ranked first in the United States for many years, with the help of MIT's advantages in the field of manufacturing and transportation, MLOG brings together the most authoritative faculty in the field of ** chain and logistics, And with the world's top 500 companies to establish a good relationship of cooperation.
In addition, MIT's MBA program is well-known around the world and is one of the top business schools in the United States for its "Magic Seven" (M7), especially for its entrepreneurship program and entrepreneurial culture. Here are the specific professional settings. 
Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyFaculties.
Because of its emphasis on engineering, science, and the arts, MIT has neither a law school nor a theological school. Since 1970, the Harvard-MIT Division of Health has been created in collaboration with the Harvard Faculty of Sciences. According to the classification of majors, MIT is divided into the following seven faculties:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) research achievementsIn 1900, the first physical chemistry laboratory in the United States was first established at MIT.
In 1923, Norbert Wiener, in his "Differential Space", established the teaching foundation of modern stochastic processes, which is a theory that has been widely used in control theory, filters, forecasting theory, etc. Later, he compiled these results into a landmark book, Cybernetics, along with his own later research on information and communication processes.
In 1925, Van Liwa Bush began to study analog computers, and in 1940, he took the lead in developing the 18th-order differential parser, and in many articles, pointed out the main scheme for the study of mathematical technology, although this scheme was interrupted by World War II, but it can still be confirmed that Bush was one of the first pioneers to study computers.
In 1934, Harold Eagleton and Kenneth Gelsson designed an electronic circuit and invented a special gas discharge tube, which made it possible to design high-speed photography and a flash viewer; In later years, Eagleton really developed electronic flash equipment and the technology of deep-water photography.
In 1934, MIT developed the million-volt electrostatic X-ray generator, a device that could be widely used for cancer. In the 30s, Maurice Cohen began to study the atomic and molecular structure of metals, a work that led to the research and production of high-strength materials. In 1937, Joan Chepman began research into steel production that had been leading for 25 years, and it was not until 1962 that the complex chemical reactions in steel production were clarified, with the result that steel production could be carried out in large quantities with precise chemical combinations. In 1946, MIT began to conduct extensive experimental research on low-temperature physics.
In 1947, Patrick Hulay took the lead in determining the age and origin of the earth's crust, and his work is widely recognized for its close relationship with the theory of the Earth's plates. In 1950, Jay Forester invented the magnetic core memory, which made the high-speed numerical computer cyclone computer really work, and became the key equipment of the semi-automatic ground air defense security system in the United States.
In 1951, Yu Wen Lee and Jerome Wiesler developed and applied the autocorrelation method in signal detection and analysis, which can be used in various scientific experiments to detect the return of radar signals from the moon to the ground, and is still the main method for long-distance communication, including space exploration. In the same year, Martin Doutz discovered electrons, an atomic system composed of boundary electrons and positrons, a discovery that has important applications in condensed matter physics, biology, and medicine.
In 1957, after nine years of research, Joan Sihan completed the chemical synthesis of penicillin for the first time. In the same year, with the publication of the book Syntactic Structure, Rom Josky promoted the understanding of the speaker's ability to master the vocabulary of language words to form sentences and understand sentences, an achievement that is considered one of the most important achievements of linguistics in the 20th century.
In 1958, Vernon Ingram completed work to prove that individual genetic defects were the cause of hemoglobin molecules** and concomitant sickle anemia. In the same year, Bruno Rossi and Hilbert Bridge pioneered space research that led directly to the discovery of X-rays and the first measurement of the solar wind.
In 1959, Jerome Letivine's research on sensation and animal behavior led to the discovery of "trait scouts", which provided a key explanation for understanding intuitive sensory processes, and in the same year, Joan McCarthy formulated the LISP language, a primary language for artificial intelligence research.
In 1970, David Marr pioneered a comprehensive study of computational techniques, biology, and psychology of brain function with his masterpiece Vision: A Computational Investigation into the Human Representation and Processing of Visual Information isbn 0-7167-1567-8 ）
In 1974, Norman Levinson made groundbreaking progress in solving one of the most difficult and well-known problems in mathematics, the Riemann guess.
In 1975, Daniel McFadden greatly advanced the understanding of the relationship between the input-output ratio and production output. In the same year, Lawrence Young took the lead in completing the study of the human weightlessness response using the NASA's space launch vehicle, which continued until the mid-80s, and basically grasped the problem of motion sickness.
In the second half of the 70s, MIT scientists invented the first practical public secret key system, which facilitated the flow of confidentiality between any pair of users of a computer; They also applied radar technology to various experiments on space vehicles, studying the process by which oncogenes cause cells to grow out of control.
In the early 80s, MIT invented an organic synthesis method that has extremely important practical significance in medicine, industry and agricultural chemistry. It also generates light pulses with a duration of 10-15 nanoseconds, which has important applications in information and data processing. A method for mapping the human genome was also invented.
In 1985, Martin Weiselmann established a theory of a "partnership economy" based on the principle of "benefit-sharing", which aroused great interest in England and other European countries. At the same time, Harry Cantos and his students created the first semi-insulating material: indium phosphide, which opened up a broad prospect for the development and application of the electronics industry.
In 1986, Stephen Benton and his students invented a form of holography in MIT's Materials Lab, which had a positive impact on medicine, design, and communication.
In 2006, MIT researchers built batteries with viruses, and in 2006, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology stood out with a return rate of 23% over Yale University, which ranked second, ranking among the most powerful universities in the United States. In addition, MIT has also developed the world's first robot with human feelings, Kismet.
In January 2007, a professor in the biology department at MIT discovered a new set of ribonucleic acid (RNA) classes, which was a major breakthrough for future gene combinations. In April 2007, a team of researchers from MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering invented a laptop that can be used without batteries, which is expected to take the electronics market by storm in the near future. In May 2007, a team of MIT space science research teams discovered the hottest planet in the universe (2040). In June 2007, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced that it had used electromagnetic resonance technology to transmit power over the air without the use of wires, allowing a 60-watt light bulb to emit light. This means that small household appliances such as mobile phones and laptops will be able to be charged wirelessly in the future without the use of batteries or charging sockets.
In 2009, MIT professor Daniela Rus, researcher Liu Huan and others developed a robot that can water, pick and sow small tomatoes; Researchers say the robotics will be further refined and one day become a robot gardener in residents' homes.
On October 23, 2009, in order to cooperate with the national policy of improving the U.S. economy and coping with the financial crisis New Energy Revolution, Obama visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) after winning the Nobel Peace Prize and made a mobilization speech, once again highlighting MIT's leading position in leading the new technology wave in the United States and the world.
In 2013, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed "4D printing" technology, which allows large 3D printed parts to be assembled by themselves according to a pre-set structure and appearance pattern. The advent of this technology will have the potential to completely disrupt the traditional manufacturing industry in the future, making it easier to manufacture in some harsh environmental conditions, such as outer space. The development of this technology, led by Skyler Tibis, director of the MIT Self-Assembly Laboratory, is the first time that the property of deformation has been intrinsically added to the material itself. According to Tibes, "4D printing is essentially 3D printing with composite materials, and in this way you add one function, which is deformation. It's like a robot, but without wires and motors. "It is understood that 4D printing technology involves the application of special materials, which change their shape when they perceive a state of motion, or when they are exposed to water, air, gravitational fields, magnetic fields, or when they perceive a change in temperature. The fourth dimension here refers to this "self-assembling behavior" of materials. Tibis also revealed that MIT's Self-Assembly Lab is working with a Boston-based company to develop innovative infrastructure piping manufacturing solutions using 4D printing.
In February 2013, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed an imaging chip that produces natural flashes. Image processing is no special thing now, even synthetic HDRs can be done in an instant with NVIDIA's new Tegras chip, and MIT has developed a new low-power chip that is faster than software synthesis and can achieve natural flash image combinations at high speeds. With instantaneous bracketing, it can shoot HDRs, or with natural flashes, to improve detail. The researchers claim that the chip also boasts automatic noise reduction, which preserves richer details by using brightness detection to avoid blurring edges. The project was financed by manufacturing giant Foxconn, which has caught up with Microsoft Research. As long as Foxconn maintains interest and eventually implements production, it will not be a problem to apply mobile photography equipment in the future.
On March 28, 2017, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago in the United States developed a technology that allows chips to assemble themselves according to a predetermined design and structure. The focus of the research project is on self-assembling the wiring on the chip, which is one of the biggest challenges in the chip manufacturing industry. With this technology, it is not necessary to etch subtle features on the silicon wafer as is currently the case, but can be expanded using a material called a block copolymer and assembled into a predetermined design and structure on its own. Karen Gleason, a professor in MIT's Department of Chemical Engineering, said the self-assembly technology would require an additional step to existing chip production technology. The production technology uses long-wave light to fire the circuit form on the silicon wafer. Chips need to be processed in a 10nm process, but it's hard to fill smaller transistors with the same wavelength. EUV lithography is expected to reduce the wavelength and etch more subtle features on the chip. This technology promises to enable a 7nm process, but even with billions of dollars invested in R&D, it is still difficult to deploy. The new technology can be easily integrated into existing production technology without adding much complexity. The technology can be applied to 7nm production processes, and the first article on this technology was published this week in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
On October 11, 2018, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States reported in Science Advances a method for making 3D models of nerve and muscle tissue on microfluidic chips. With this "organ-on-a-chip", they observed a surprising difference between healthy neurons and "freezing" neurons and trialled two new drugs that are still in the clinical testing stage.
In November 2022, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) explained why rechargeable lithium batteries form "dendrites" and how to prevent them from passing through the electrolyte.
In 2022, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the United States built thermal photovoltaic (TPV) cells with an efficiency of more than 40%. This achievement was selected as one of the top 10 breakthroughs of 2022 published by the British magazine "Physical World".

Nine. Fees & Scholarships.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a world-class university, both in terms of faculty and teaching equipment. This naturally attracts students from all over the world, but it is very difficult to apply to MIT's undergraduate colleges and institutes. In 2016, 28,566 people applied to MIT's undergraduate college for 2,000 places (the acceptance rate was less than 6% that year, the lowest year in the university's history). MIT's graduate admissions take into account the applicant's comprehensive qualities, including academics, work experience, and leadership, and professors also consider the student's ability to learn independently (including independent thinking). Therefore, it is extremely difficult to get into MIT's graduate school.
Tuition and fees for MIT for the 2015 academic year were $48,700. In 2015, MIT students received $49,200 in full scholarships. Although MIT is private, it has total assets of $27.8 billion at the end of 2016 and (does not rely on appropriations from **) admits students blindfolded without regard to their family's financial conditions. The school's financial strength will make up for its shortcomings. The vast majority of students receive full scholarships, so MIT is often hailed as the most generous university in the world.
Applicants need to pay attention to the fact that standardized test scores are not the only thing that admissions officers value, but also whether students have good psychological quality, the ability to resist setbacks, whether they have the courage and willpower to start over after 99 failures, and whether they have the spirit of using their knowledge and skills to contribute to society. These are all areas that admissions officers take into account. Since 2014, Chinese students' SAT scores have been getting higher and higher, and the scores have risen, which has brought about more and more competition for undergraduate students. Admissions officers have changed from emphasizing hard power to emphasizing students' soft power, students' application essays are to show admissions officers a fresh applicant, share the story of the applicant's growth with admissions officers, high-quality essays drive the emotions of admissions officers, be happy for the success of applicants, applaud and cheer for the applicant's failure but not give up on the final success, in a small area of admissions office, a high-quality essay can infect every admissions officer, thereby increasing the chance of admission. Therefore, it is best for students to write their own application essays, everyone has experienced many things from childhood to adulthood, and some unexpected events may change the trajectory of the applicant's life, or may change the applicant's originally happy and warm family. However, the applicant's life story of not being discouraged and not giving up, and finally overcoming the difficult situation with his perseverance, can move the reader and applaud the applicant's ultimate success. Before you put pen to paper, think about what impressive things you have experienced from babbling to eighteen or nineteen years old, what things have changed you, and what things have reshaped you to make yourself stronger, tell these stories to the admissions officer, please don't be stingy, share the applicant's life story with the admissions officer, and feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the applicant's growth. Admissions officers favor the latter when it comes to presenting an applicant with a living life, an excellent transcript, and a story that best reflects the applicant's life and growth experience. **In order to help students apply to prestigious schools, intermediaries often pretend to make up their students' life experiences and add things indiscriminately. In fact, this kind of behavior will be counterproductive, and articles that find someone ** will often erase what the admissions officer is looking for. Believe in yourself, give yourself a chance, and don't shake your confidence and goals just because you don't have a beautiful report card or as many extracurricular activities as others. Students should know that participating in the interview is to show the school that there is real life, which is as important as the application essay, and the interviewer is to show the admissions officer what cannot be reflected in the student's materials. Interviews do not determine admission, but a good interview result can increase the chances of admission. The most important thing to note is that students must consider their situation clearly, choose the most suitable school for themselves, and why they should apply to this school, students cannot accurately judge their own situation, and it will be very painful after entering the university. High rankings, high salaries after graduation in education***, these cannot be used as reasons to apply for MIT, students will lose the opportunity if they use these as reasons to apply.
