His success as a practitioner of modern architecture and his prominence as an academic, enabled Stone to form bonds with other academics of the era like Walter Gropius ( Chairman of the Department of Architecture at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design ), Pietro Belluschi ( Dean of MIT's School of Architecture and Planning ), George Howe ( Chairman of Yale University ’ s School of Architecture ) and William Wurster ( co-founder of the University of California at Berkeley College of Environmental Design ).

Undergraduates are guaranteed four-year housing in one of MIT's 12 undergraduate dormitories, Those living on campus can receive support and mentoring from live-in graduate student tutors, resident advisors, and faculty housemasters.

While faculty committees assert substantial control over many areas of MIT's curriculum, research, student life, and administrative affairs, the chair of each of MIT's 32 academic departments reports to the dean of that department's school, who in turn reports to the Provost under the President.

The main challenge in implementing the OCW initiative had not been faculty resistance, but rather, the logistical challenges presented by determining ownership and obtaining publication permission for the massive amount of intellectual property items that are embedded in the course materials of MIT's faculty, in addition to the time and technical effort required to convert the educational materials to an online format.

The response from MIT faculty and students has been very positive and MIT OpenCourseWare is seen as being consistent with MIT's mission ( to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century ) and is true to MIT's values of excellence, innovation, and leadership.

The Whitehead Institute was founded as a fiscally independent entity from Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ), and its members and associate members hold faculty appointments in MIT's Biology Department.

He is a faculty member at MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, where he directs the Laboratory for Atomistic and Molecular Mechanics ( LAMM ).

He is also actively participating in MIT's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program ( UROP ), where he serves as a faculty mentor.

The E & I option centers on starting and developing enterprises by bringing together students and faculty from across MIT's disciplines to build businesses around ideas and technologies.

To be considered a ' hack ' was an honour among like-minded peers as " to qualify as a hack, the feat must be imbued with innovation, style and technical virtuosity " ( Levy, 1984 p. 10 ) The MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club Dictionary defined hack in 1959 ( not yet in a computer context ) as " 1 ) an article or project without constructive end ; 2 ) a project undertaken on bad self-advice ; 3 ) an entropy booster ; 4 ) to produce, or attempt to produce, a hack ( 3 ).

For example, when MIT students surreptitiously put a fake police car atop the dome on MIT's Building 10, that was a hack in this sense, and the students involved were therefore hackers.

Though it was initially envisaged that these cellular automata would run on special computers, such as MIT's " Cellular Automata Machine-8 " ( CAM-8 ), by 1996 it was realised that the model originally proposed, which required cellular automata with thousands of states, was too complex to be realised in hardware.

Inspired by Colossal Cave, Marc Blank and Dave Lebling created what was to become the first Infocom game, Zork, in 1977 at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science.

It seems likely that ' kluge ' came to MIT via alumni of the many military electronics projects run in Cambridge during the war ( many in MIT's venerable Building 20, which housed TMRC until the building was demolished in 1999 ).

MIT's campus-wide wireless network was completed in the fall of 2005 and consists of nearly 3, 000 access points covering of campus.

MIT's School of Architecture, now the School of Architecture and Planning, was the first in the United States, and it has a history of commissioning progressive buildings.

It was the machine that made time-sharing common ; it looms large in hacker folklore because of its adoption in the 1970s by many university computing facilities and research labs, the most notable of which were MIT's AI Lab and Project MAC, Stanford's SAIL, Computer Center Corporation ( CCC ), and Carnegie Mellon University.

MIT's example was donated to The Computer Museum, Boston, and from there ended up at the Computer History Museum ( CHM ).

MIT's CTSS, one of the first time sharing systems, was introduced in 1961.

The operating system and software development environment, over 500, 000 lines, was written in Lisp from the microcode up, based on MIT's Lisp Machine Lisp.

Fans of MIT's Incompatible Timesharing System ( ITS ) say it was coined in opposition to Multics users down the hall, for whom security was far more an issue than on ITS.

It originated at MIT's Project MAC ( from which it derived its prefix ) in the late 1960s and was based on Lisp 1. 5.

On July 18, 2007, when MIT's Astronautics Department's Professor Dava Newman displayed a biosuit, the suit was referenced as Mobile Suit Gundam's Normal Suit is now real by various news agencies.

In 1933 Van de Graaff built a 40-foot ( 12 m ) model at MIT's Round Hill facility, the use of which was donated by Colonel Edward H. R. Green.

The Zephyr Notification Service ( still in use at some institutions ) was invented at MIT's Project Athena in the 1980s to allow service providers to locate and send messages to users.

* The Norbert Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics was endowed in 1967 in honor of Norbert Wiener by MIT's mathematics department and is provided jointly by the American Mathematical Society and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.

DEC was still heavily involved with MIT's AI Lab, and many feature requests from the LISP hackers were moved into this machine.

Chaosnet was first developed by Thomas Knight and Jack Holloway at MIT's AI Lab in 1975 and thereafter.

It was decided to shelve the Whirlwind II design without building it and concentrate MIT's resources on programming and applications for the original machine, now called Whirlwind I. IBM based their production designs, the AN / FSQ-7, on the stillborn Whirlwind II.

" Caltech students also passed out T-shirts to MIT's incoming freshman class that had MIT written on the front and "... because not everyone can go to Caltech " along with an image of a palm tree on the back.

Most FSILGs are located across the river in the Back Bay owing to MIT's history there, and there is also a cluster of fraternities on MIT's West Campus.

MIT's ITS operating system also began on the PDP-6.

Apart from the Media Lab, the building also hosts the List Visual Arts Center, the School of Architecture and Planning's Program in Art, Culture and Technology ( ACT ), and MIT's Program in Comparative Media Studies.

The contrast between MIT's approach and other laboratories was also described as a " procedural / declarative distinction ".

Hanson has also pointed out that uncanny entities may appear anywhere in a spectrum ranging from the abstract ( e. g., MIT's robot Lazlo ) to the perfectly human ( e. g., cosmetically atypical people ).

The hunt also assumes extensive familiarity with MIT's campus, culture, and lore.

It was inspired by the Knight keyboard ( also developed by Tom Knight ), which was developed for the Knight TV system, used with MIT's Incompatible Timesharing System.

There is also an implementation of wireless dating called Serendipity being pioneered by MIT's Media Lab in Cambridge, Mass.

Mulatu also served as an Abramowitz Artist-in-Residence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, delivering lectures and workshops, as well as advising MIT's Media Lab on creating a modern version of the krar, a traditional Ethiopian instrument.
