作为留学生,进入麻省理工的难度是非常大的。以统计资料来分析,要申请上MIT的大学部比研究所难两三倍。2007年共有12,443人申请(包括约3,000名美国以外的学生)麻省理工学院大学部的1020名额(录取率创MIT历年来最新低)。麻省理工学院2006-2007学年的学杂费是$47,100美元。2006-2007麻省理工学院学生平均领到的奖学金为$27,800美元。MIT在2006年底有84亿美元的总资产。麻省考核海外申请人的依据和其他美国大学差不多,无非托福,GRE成绩,但是要求非常高,此外麻省非常重视申请人的综合素质,比如社会经验,专项才能,工作实践等等。有时他们更青睐托福成绩相对低一点但是综合素质出色的申请人。
② 麻省理工学院(MIT)怎么样
先说说MIT的住宿:
MIT一共有11座本科生宿舍楼。性别、年级、专业都不会决定你的宿舍楼,在一个宿舍里,你可能会接触到和自己年龄不同、专业不同的学生(当然,你接触不到和自己性别不同的学生)。
除非特殊情况,大一学生是必须住在宿舍里的,即使其他年级的学生不愿意住在宿舍,学校同样提供住房。另外,MIT的宿舍条件很好,房间很大,学校甚至允许有需要的同学带着家庭住进宿舍,而宿舍的每层都有公共的厨房。
(图为MIT住宿图片)
再说说MIT的餐厅:
学校餐厅主要在 Student Center (W20 号楼)的一楼和二楼以及 Walker Memorial (50号楼 )。如果你加入了学校的 Meal Plan,在这些地方就可以用学生ID 而不用现金。用ID付款可以节省5%的费用。从周一到周五,中午在三处有盒饭供应。他们分别在:(1) 77 Mass. Ave.(2) Main Stree上靠近Technology Square(3) 学校的East Parking Garage。
校外牙祭:离学校最近的中餐馆五月花(Royal East)” 位于No. 782 Main St.,Cambridge, (617) 661-1660, 中午和晚上都有盒饭供应, 平均价格在$5。也可以在店里点菜,平均$12/人。Chinatown 是中餐馆最多的地方,有适应于各种口味的餐馆。
(图为MIT餐厅)
最后再说说MIT的校园活动:
麻省理工校方为学生创建的超过330个学生组织而感到骄傲。在MIT,加入学生组织是探索未知、扩展视野的好方法,同时也能交到与自己志趣相投的好朋友。
这些学生组织涵盖学术、体育、文艺、政治、社交、社会活动、兄弟会等多个方面。学校也为学生活动提供了广阔的舞台,尽可能的为学生提供 场地、设备的方面的援助,并成功帮助一些学生组织争取到了校外赞助。同时校内提供广泛的勤工俭学机会,为那些愿意分担家庭负担的同学提供了帮 助。学校还有广泛的志愿者活动,因此MIT出身的学生从不缺乏社会实践经历。

⑧ 麻省理工学院有哪些课程
你可以去麻省理工学院的网站上去看看。
麻省理工学院500门课程材料大公开
如果说有一所世界一流的大学把它所教授的所有课程内容向全世界公开,任何人都可以进入它的专门网站下载和学习这些内容,任何一个教育机构都可以在授课中使用这些内容,而且完全免费,不收你一分钱,你相信吗?迄今为止全世界惟一一所这样做的大学,正是大名鼎鼎的美国麻省理工学院
如果说有一所世界一流的大学把它所教授的所有课程内容向全世界公开,任何人都可以进入它的专门网站下载和学习这些内容,任何一个教育机构都可以在授课中使用这些内容,而且完全免费,不收你一分钱,你相信吗?迄今为止全世界惟一一所这样做的大学,正是大名鼎鼎的美国麻省理工学院(MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY,缩写为 MIT)。
9月23日,“美国麻省理工学院公开课程材料国际论坛”在北方交大的科学会堂开幕,这次论坛的主要议题是“MIT公开课程材料与中国”。记者在这里获悉了一个令人惊喜的消息:2003年9月30日,MIT将正式向全世界公布多达500门课程的全部内容!这意味着至少有500名富有经验的教授志愿地、无偿地献出了他们宝贵的教学内容资源,与全人类共享。
“公开课程材料”不是远程教学
来京参加论坛的美国麻省理工学院副院长,水动力学、海洋工程学教授俞久平博士向记者介绍了“麻省理工学院公开课程材料(MITOPENCOURSEWARE,简称MITOCW)”的详细情况。俞教授说:“公开课程材料的概念,就是把麻省理工学院所有本科生和研究生阶段的课程内容转换成基于网络的形式,通过互联网进行发布,以便公开并免费地让世界各地的人都能利用。到2007年,将会发布1800门课程,这大概是麻省理工的所有课程。”
记者了解到,这些公开的课程材料包括麻省理工学院的建筑和规划学院、工程学院、人文、艺术和社会科学学院、斯隆管理学院、理科学院等5所学院中所教的课程,涉及大约30个不同的学科,每门学科都有对应这门学科的不同的课程内容,并且充分展示了每一位 M IT教授的不同教学风格。记者登录了MITOCW的网站( http://ocw.mit.e),看到网页上分门别类地列着课程清单,有航空航天学、建筑学、人类学、化学工程、环境学、心理学等诸多学科。几乎所有的课程至少包括一个教学大纲,课程的日程安排和讲课记录,许多课程还有一种或多种辅助内容,如作业、试卷、问题解答、实验室、超文本的课本、模拟演示学习工具,甚至还有辅导和讲课的视频实况。俞久平教授向记者强调说, M IT并不是通过公开课程材料来提供 M IT的远程教育,也不是一个“ E-learning”(电子学习)系统,它最大的特性就是它完全是非功利的,发布的课程内容对所有人都是公开的、免费的,没有任何条件,也不需要注册和登记,但这些课程不包括与 M IT教授的直接交互,也不会授予任何的学分或学位。
⑨ 麻省理工学院公开课如何使用
网易上一些麻省的课程除了视频还有课件打包下载,如果有的话,就在一列下载按内钮上面,是和容课程配套的,可以下载来对照学习,有的详细有的比较简略(还有的没有课件)。我看的时候就是直接记笔记,翻译的大多很好,即使是诸如线性代数,微积分这样的理科课程只记笔记也足够理解了。其他非理工科的人文课程对配套资料要求就更低了,他们上课的时候很多时候都是没有教科书的,教授都是给出书单和阅读计划,这个在国内也没法过多考虑,当然能找到原版书看看也是不错的。

Mission and Origins
Mission Statement
The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and ecate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.
The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and to working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world's great challenges. MIT is dedicated to providing its students with an ecation that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus community. We seek to develop in each member of the MIT community the ability and passion to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment of humankind.
The Institute admitted its first students in 1865, four years after the approval of its founding charter. The opening marked the culmination of an extended effort by William Barton Rogers, a distinguished natural scientist, to establish a new kind of independent ecational institution relevant to an increasingly instrialized America. Rogers stressed the pragmatic and practicable. He believed that professional competence is best fostered by coupling teaching and research and by focusing attention on real-world problems. Toward this end, he pioneered the development of the teaching laboratory.
Today MIT is a world-class ecational institution. Teaching and research—with relevance to the practical world as a guiding principle—continue to be its primary purpose. MIT is independent, coecational, and privately endowed. Its five schools and one college encompass numerous academic departments, divisions, and degree-granting programs, as well as interdisciplinary centers, laboratories, and programs whose work cuts across traditional departmental boundaries.
2.Building MIT's Resources
Throughout MIT's history, indivials, corporations and foundations have provided much of the support that has made the Institute a leader in higher ecation. That tradition continues, with MIT today benefiting from generous giving by a range of organizations and indivials.
During the 2005–2006 fiscal year, private organizations and indivials gave or pledged a total of $301.3 million, the second highest total in MIT's history. Indivials were responsible for the biggest share of that total, at $205.7 million.* No matter what the source, however, such contributions are vital to MIT, providing critically needed undesignated funds along with resources designated to a range of important priorities.
MIT continues to develop new resources for faculty and students, ecational innovation, and other key priorities. Playing a central role in such efforts is a large and energetic group of MIT volunteers, most of them Institute graates. Specific ongoing needs include support for:
Students and campus life—the Institute is working hard to develop new financial support for both undergraate and graate students, and is likewise seeking resources for student-oriented activities such as athletics and residential life programs
Research and ecational priorities—MIT has designated selected areas as institutional priorities, including cancer research and ecation, as well as a new facility to house these activities, and energy research and ecation
Buildings—aside from the proposed new facility for cancer research and ecation, MIT's building program includes a new MIT Sloan School of Management complex, and a new home for the Physics Department and parts of the Materials Science and Engineering Department

4.MIT in Focus
The Undergraate Commons
The concept of an ecational "commons" recalls an earlier time in New England's history, when land that was jointly owned or used by the residents of a community, such as a village green, was known as the commons.
At MIT, the ecational commons is the shared knowledge, resources, aspirations, and values that constitute the core of an MIT ecation. As graates discover, it also is the foundation of a lifetime of learning.
But what does it mean to be an ecated person in the 21st century, in a world increasingly shaped by scientific and technological advances and the global currents they have set in motion?
The outline of MIT's answer began to emerge in October 2006, when the Task Force on the Undergraate Ecational Commons, a committee composed of two dozen faculty members and undergraates, completed its three-year review of MIT's undergraate ecational program.
Addressing the core requirements that each undergraate must fulfill, the task force called for the most far-reaching changes to MIT's undergraate curriculum in the past half-century. One key recommendation was for a new and more flexible science, math, and engineering requirement. Another was for a more clearly articulated grounding in the study of culture and society.
A defining feature of the report is the attention given to tapping students' creativity ring their first year at MIT. If the recommendations are adopted, incoming students will have more opportunities to engage in active and project-based learning. New science and engineering classes will focus on creative design projects that motivate the acquisition of disciplinary knowledge, the integration of multiple modes of inquiry, and team building. In the humanities, arts, and social sciences, a similar approach will animate first-year courses exploring critical human issues such as democracy, the nature of the self, wealth and poverty, and war and revolution.
Equally exciting is the recognition of international experience as an essential component of undergraate ecation. The task force urged that MIT make it possible, within five years, for all undergraates to undertake a meaningful period of study, work, or internship abroad without financial or academic penalty.
Further refinement of these recommendations by the faculty is expected in 2007, with final approval and implementation to extend over the next few years.
Long the leader in science and technology-centered ecation, MIT's directions in curriculum renewal and reform will continue to be watched and emulated by colleges and universities in the United States and around the world.
5.Graate Ecation
For more than a century, MIT graate programs have provided ideal environments for advanced study by students and faculty working together to extend the boundaries of knowledge.
Traditionally a leader in engineering graate ecation, MIT has also attained national prominence for its doctoral programs in mathematics and the physical and life sciences. In addition, top-ranked graate programs in economics; political science; linguistics; science, technology, and society; architecture; urban studies; and management have broadened the spectrum of graate ecation at MIT.
Graate students may pursue any of the following degrees: doctor of philosophy (PhD), doctor of science (ScD), engineer, master of science (SM), master of engineering (MEng), master of architecture (MArch), master in city planning (MCP), and master of business administration (MBA).
Cross-registration opportunities at Harvard and Wellesley, joint degree programs with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the Graate Consortium in Women's Studies are significant resources for graate students. Other study opportunities are also available at Brandeis, Tufts, and Boston University.
The Institute has a single faculty that is responsible for both undergraate and graate instruction. Each department exercises a large measure of autonomy for its graate programs, under general guidelines established for the Institute as a whole. The administration of graate ecation rests with the president, the associate provost, the chancellor, the dean and associate dean for graate students, and the Committee on Graate Programs, a newly created standing committee of the faculty.
Graate Students Office
The Graate Students Office supports graate students and graate administrators throughout the Institute, complementing each department's administration. GSO comprises the Office of the Dean for Graate Students; the International Students Office; and the Graate Student Council, consisting of elected representatives from all departments and graate residences, as well as at-large members.
Some Grad Facts
The admissions process for graate programs at MIT is decentralized. Applicants apply directly to the academic department or degree-granting program of interest.
Doctoral students are supported with fellowships (24 percent), research assistantships (51 percent), and teaching assistantships (12 percent). Thirteen percent receive some other form of support or no support.
There is no cap on the number of graate students admitted to MIT. Departments admit as many as they can support based on their RA, TA, and fellowship resources, as well as the number of faculty available to advise on research.
Graate students first outnumbered undergraates in 1980. Today, graate students make up 60 percent of the total student population.
There were 6,126 graate students enrolled at MIT in the fall term of 2006. Thirty-six percent were international students. Thirty-four percent were housed on campus, approaching the Institute's goal of 50 percent.
Persons interested in taking graate courses may apply for special student status. A special graate student is one whose intended program of study is essentially graate in nature, but who is not a candidate for an advanced degree.
Twenty-nine percent of students who complete a master of science degree at MIT choose to continue graate study, while 52 percent enter the workforce. For master of engineering recipients, the numbers are 15 percent and 76 percent, respectively; and for MBA graates, 2 percent and 87 percent. At the doctoral level, 53 percent of MIT's PhD graates go on to instry or government positions, while 13 percent accept academic positions and 24 percent pursue postdoctoral research.

Building MIT's Resources麻省理工学院建筑资源
Throughout MIT's history, indivials, corporations and foundations have provided much of the support that has made the Institute a leader in higher ecation.整个麻省理工的历史上,个人、公司和基金会的支持,提供了很大的研究所取得领先高等教育. That tradition continues, with MIT today benefiting from generous giving by a range of organizations and indivials.这一传统继续下去,以造福于今天麻省理工给予了慷慨的一系列组织和个人.
During the 2005–2006 fiscal year, private organizations and indivials gave or pledged a total of $301.3 million, the second highest total in MIT's history.在2005-2006财政年度,私人团体和个人赠送认捐总额达301.3亿美元,麻省理工总数名列第二的历史. Indivials were responsible for the biggest share of that total, at $205.7 million.* No matter what the source, however, such contributions are vital to MIT, providing critically needed undesignated funds along with resources designated to a range of important priorities.个人负责的最大份额,共计2878元205700000*不管来源,但是这些捐款都是至关重要麻省理工随着基金提供急需用项指定一系列重要资源的优先次序.
MIT continues to develop new resources for faculty and students, ecational innovation, and other key priorities.麻省理工继续开发新的资源,师生、教育创新以及其它重点. Playing a central role in such efforts is a large and energetic group of MIT volunteers, most of them Institute graates.在这种努力中发挥了核心作用,是一个充满活力的大型集团麻省理工志愿者他们大多数毕业生. Specific ongoing needs include support for:目前包括支持特定需求:
Students and campus life—the Institute is working hard to develop new financial support for both undergraate and graate students, and is likewise seeking resources for student-oriented activities such as athletics and residential life programs学生和校园生活-学院正努力发展新的财政支持无论本科生和研究生,而同样是寻求资源以学生为本的活动,如体育节目和住宿生活
Research and ecational priorities—MIT has designated selected areas as institutional priorities, including cancer research and ecation, as well as a new facility to house these activities, and energy research and ecation研究和教育优先麻省理工已把试点机构优先事项,包括癌症研究、教育、以及新的设施,以安置这些活动、能源研究和教育
Buildings—aside from the proposed new facility for cancer research and ecation, MIT's building program includes a new MIT Sloan School of Management complex, and a new home for the Physics Department and parts of the Materials Science and Engineering Department建筑物除建议新癌症研究和教育设施,麻省理工学院的建设计划,包括新麻省理工学院斯隆管理复杂而新家园、物理系部分材料科学与工程系

MIT in Focus麻省理工焦点
The Undergraate Commons本科公地
The concept of an ecational "commons" recalls an earlier time in New England's history, when land that was jointly owned or used by the residents of a community, such as a village green, was known as the commons.教育观念"公地"回忆当年在新英格兰的历史,当土地被共同所有或使用的社区居民,如绿色村庄,被称为公地.
At MIT, the ecational commons is the shared knowledge, resources, aspirations, and values that constitute the core of an MIT ecation.麻省理工教育公地是共享知识、资源、愿望、核心价值观构成了麻省理工教育. As graates discover, it also is the foundation of a lifetime of learning.如发现毕业生,也是终身学习的基础.
But what does it mean to be an ecated person in the 21st century, in a world increasingly shaped by scientific and technological advances and the global currents they have set in motion?但何谓是受过教育的人在21世纪在日趋功利的世界科技进步和全球已启动电流?
The outline of MIT's answer began to emerge in October 2006, when the Task Force on the Undergraate Ecational Commons, a committee composed of two dozen faculty members and undergraates, completed its three-year review of MIT's undergraate ecational program.麻省理工纲要的答案2006年10月开始出现,当专责小组本科教育公地,一个由十多位老师和两位大学生,完成了三年的审查麻省理工的本科教育发展计划.
Addressing the core requirements that each undergraate must fulfill, the task force called for the most far-reaching changes to MIT's undergraate curriculum in the past half-century.针对核心要求每个本科生必须完成,专责小组呼吁最为深远的变化麻省理工的本科课程半个世纪. One key recommendation was for a new and more flexible science, math, and engineering requirement.其中最主要建议是一项新科技、更灵活、数学、工程的要求. Another was for a more clearly articulated grounding in the study of culture and society.另一个是一个更明确地在文化与社会研究.
A defining feature of the report is the attention given to tapping students' creativity ring their first year at MIT.性格报告是注意挖掘学生的创造力,在麻省理工第一年. If the recommendations are adopted, incoming students will have more opportunities to engage in active and project-based learning.如果建议获通过,新任学生将有更多机会与积极从事研习. New science and engineering classes will focus on creative design projects that motivate the acquisition of disciplinary knowledge, the integration of multiple modes of inquiry, and team building.新理工科班将着重
