MIT graduates cannot power a light bulb with a battery.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is one of the top ranked universities in the world. This question appeared on its admissions exam nearly 150 years ago. The perpendicular dropped from the vertex of the right angle upon the hypotenuse divides it into two segments of 9 and 16 feet respectively. Find the lengths of the perpendicular, and the two legs of the triangle. The video presents a solution.

Companies are on the hunt for engineers, but relatively few students are going for the hard science majors and even fewer are graduating.

Mathematics has played an important part at MIT since the founding of the Institute. Mathematics occupies a core intellectual position at MIT, an institution that is well known for its leadership in Science and Engineering. All MIT undergraduates are required to take courses within the department which prides itself in leading the nation in priorities and guidelines for basic mathematical and scientific research and for the way students are taught.

Lecture #16

A compilation of Professor Walter Lewins and some of his lectures at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He draws some of the best lines, especially dashed lines - so fast that his hand isn't even moving up and down to produce the dashes.

The US's famed MIT is collaborating with IIT Guwahati for a next-generation cycle rickshaw. NewsX's Rajib Chowdhary has more.

Known as M-Blocks, the robots are cubes with no external moving parts. Nonetheless, they're able to climb over and around one another, leap through the air, roll across the ground, and even move while suspended upside down from metallic surfaces.

Inside each M-Block is a flywheel that can reach speeds of 20,000 revolutions per minute; when the flywheel is braked, it imparts its angular momentum to the cube. On each edge of an M-Block, and on every face, are cleverly arranged permanent magnets that allow any two cubes to attach to each other.

Wristify was invented by MIT student researchers and aims to replace air conditioning and heating units in an energy efficient, inexpensive way. A thermoelectric bracelet sends tailored pulses of hot or cold waveforms to the wrist, which makes the wearer sense that they are being cooled or heated.

Sam Shames,Mike Gibson, David Cohen-Tanugi, and Matt Smith ended up winning the annual MADMEC competition at MIT with Wristify. Would you buy one if they were available? Kim Horcher and Tim Frisch discuss.

Little Miss Clueless decides to become an engineer

The Texas A&M; Mechanical Engineering Department is consistently ranked in the top 10 engineering programs among public institutions. In this video we explain why students should choose our Mechanical Engineering program.

© 2015 Engineering Communications

Taught by award-winning professor David Wallace, 2.009: Product Engineering Processes is a rigorous capstone class for undergraduates in the Mechanical Engineering program at MIT, bringing together everything students have learned along the way to develop a market-ready product together with a team of classmates.

The final presentation is always a sold-out event, and teams often go on to start a company based on their products, or to sell their technology to another company.

It is one of those iconic classes that those who take it never forget, an example of engineering education at its finest -- and most fun.

Scott is a speed-reading, vegetarian, holistic learning, productivity hacking recent university graduate. And, for the last five years he's been experimenting to find out how to get more from life. His current project is to learn MIT's 4-year curriculum for computer science in 12 months, without taking any classes. Scott earned his Bachelor of Commerce Honors from the University of Manitoba and his blog features more than 850 articles and books focused on getting more from life.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

These are just my thoughts on Electrical Engineering. I'm just one engineer, you should talk to a lot of engineers on making your choice. As of 2014, I still stand that Computer Science is stronger than Electrical Engineering.

Should I be a mechanic or an engineer? What's the difference between an engineer and a mechanic? Is it better to be a mechanical engineer or a technician?

1. What is the educational requirement for engineers and technicians?
2. What's the educational experience like?
3. How much do engineers/mechanics make?
4.What’s the job requirement like?
5.What are the advantages/disadvantages of this job? Would you recommend it?

hi guys! so if you watched my last day in the life of a research student video, you would have already met my friend felix who is a research assistant in cancer research, did the same master's as I did in translational cancer medicine at king's college london, and will be starting his PhD in cancer research in september! We decided to make this video to talk more in depth about his experiences, and his undergraduate degree in biomedical sciences, and his other experiences in clinical research. Felix is a very experienced person, so if you guy's have any questions for him in terms of how to get a phd, how to get onto a master's, what degree to study at undergraduate, and what it's like to work in research then by all means leave your questions below! I hope you find this useful, informative, or entertaining at the very least! much love, A!

At first glance, 15-year-old Abhay Agrawal looks like any other 10th grader, but what sets him apart is the fact that he has already cleared IIT-JEE (Advanced) and secured admission in mechanical engineering. The young boy from Uttar Pradesh's Firozabad has qualified for IIT admission with an all-India rank of 2,467. He jumped initial classes and completed Class 12 before his contemporaries at school. His feat has now reserved him a seat at Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University).

On May 16, 2011, Professor of Physics Emeritus Walter Lewin returned to MIT lecture hall 26-100 for a physics talk and book signing, complete with some of his most famous physics demonstrations to celebrate the publication of his new book For The Love Of Physics: From the End of the Rainbow to the Edge of Time - A Journey Through the Wonders of Physics, written with Warren Goldstein.

Note: Due to a serious complaint against Dr. Lewin, MIT has revoked Dr. Lewin's title of Professor Emeritus as of December 2014.
