Educational FocusThe UIS educational program is aimed at students who want to be part of a new breed of IT-savvy planners taking up the challenge of integrating information-rich planning with tomorrow's planning needs. These professionals and researchers are comfortable with IT while retaining the imagination and insight needed to harness knowledge-based tools for use in the fluid and multi-faceted world of urban and regional planning. They see their career goals as developing and implementing information systems that aid planners and policy makers, while enhancing our understanding of urban and regional planning processes. At the Masters level, we aim to give students a sufficient understanding of technology, information management and modeling so that they can use these new resources wisely; be articulate and persuasive in promoting and influencing their designs; and be imaginative in constructing information-based decision processes and public participation mechanisms. At the PhD level, we educate students who are ready to become heavily involved in research on tools and techniques, the information infrastructures that support them, and the information-based restructuring of urban and regional planning techniques.
How to join UISMIT students with an interest in the topic areas of UIS are encouraged to take classes listed in the UIS section of the DUSP course catalog. Contact Prof. Ferreira for more information about projects and recent activities. Prospective graduate students who are applying to MIT should indicate their interest in UIS as part of their application. UIS ClassesAll UIS classes are listed in the UIS section of the DUSP Course Catalog. Beyond courses offered at DUSP, students with an interest in UIS take classes across MIT, including the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department (CEE), the Engineering Systems Division (ESD), the Sloan School of Management, the Media Lab and the Operations Research Center (ORC). Full listings of all MIT courses can be viewed in the central course catalog. |
