Where is MIT?

Its school-running direction is the combination of theoretical science and applied science education and research.

Because traditional universities and colleges are difficult to adapt to the requirements of modern society, William Baden Rogers, the founder of MIT, calls for the establishment of a new school: such a school can not only impart technical skills, but also lay a solid foundation for students to work in the industrial sector in the future, and take experimental learning as the school's educational creed.
