GENERAL INFORMATION

The Air Force Institute of Technology, in accordance with its mission of providing education and training to meet the technological, scientific, and other professional requirements of the Air Force offers undergraduate and graduate level programs in its Schools of Engineering and Business at WrightPatterson Air Force Base and in civilian universities.

In residence programs at the Air Force Institute of Technology include undergraduate and graduate level programs in such fields as aeronautical engineering, electrical engineering, nuclear engineering, engineering administration, industrial administration, applied comptrollership, logistics, and installations engineering. These programs are designed to meet requirements common to a wide range of officer assignments within career fields rather than the narrow demands of a particular assignment. While the programs are characterized by emphasis on fundamentals, course material is presented with particular emphasis on its application to Air Force problems. The teaching staff is composed of civilians and officers of high professional competence.

In April 1955 a Committee of the Engineers' Council for Professional Development visited the Institute to review the programs and facilities of the engineering curricula. As a result of this visit the ECPD on 19 October 1955 accredited the undergraduate Aeronautical Engineering and Electrical
