MIT Sloan School of Management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Sloan School began in 1914 as the engineering administration curriculum (or "Course XV" in the MIT parlance) in the MIT Department of Economics and Statistics. A Sloan Foundation grant established the MIT School of Industrial Management in 1952 with the charge of educating the "ideal manager", and the school was renamed in Sloan's honor as the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management. MIT Sloan is one of the world's leading business schools, conducting research and teaching in finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, strategic management, economics, organizational behavior, operations management, supply chain management, information technology, and many other fields. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/MIT_Sloan_School_of_Management   (1588 words)

The Moore School lectures A contract was signed for the Moore School project in April 1946, and by October the Moore School presented three possible detailed designs, of increasing sophistication, and a decision was made to produce a machine at the lower end of the range. Staff were drafted in to the Moore School from other institutions, and the ENIAC project was started in 1943 to build the first large scale, programmable, purely electronic computer, primarily for the calculation of ballistic tables for the Ordnance Department of the U.S. Army. A book " The Moore School Lectures " was published by the MIT Press in 1985, edited by Martin Campbell-Kelly and Michael Williams. www.computer50.org /mark1/moore.school/intro.html   (355 words)

News: Press Releases Copyright © Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT School of Engineering "In a time of tight school budgets and a national emphasis on standardized tests, high schools are hard pressed to fund educational projects that go beyond the basics of math and science," said Merton Flemings, director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, which sponsors the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams grants initiative. Now in its second year, the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams grants initiative evolved out of the Lemelson-MIT Program's annual High School Invention Apprenticeship, a national program that provided a hands-on learning experience to individual high school students. web.mit.edu /invent/n-pressreleases/n-press-03IT.html   (586 words)

Trials and errors: Yale's scientific method Oct 1, 1999 But in 1852, with the founding of the Sheffield Scientific School (SSS), a school that contained within its bounds Yale's applied chemistry, philosophy, engineering, and other scientific programs, a fundamental schism opened up between the sciences and the humanities. Yale's graduate schools ranked 13th in physics, 14th in computer science, 31st in electrical engineering, and did not even place in the top 50 in mechanical engineering by the National Research Council. Connie Ing, DC '00, an applied math major and STS finalist, almost chose MIT over Yale because "MIT has a very `just-do-it,' positive atmosphere for learning science," before she decided in favor of Yale for its focus on the liberal arts. www.yaleherald.com /archive/xxviii/1999.10.01/features/front.html   (2311 words)

Lemelson-MIT Program At present, the MIT E-Teams are part of three innovative engineering/management courses offered by the MIT Sloan School of Management and the MIT School of Engineering: Product Engineering Processes (Course 2.009), Entrepreneurship Lab (Course 15.399) and Product Design and Development (Course 15.783j). This is accomplished through the support of E-Teams, activities in which MIT students work with each other, faculty and business mentors, and local entrepreneurs on product development and new venture projects.
