Mission

The mission of International Technological University (ITU) is to provide superior undergraduate and graduate education programs in the fields of engineering, mathematics, applied sciences, and international business. ITU offers graduate degree programs at the master level in Computer Engineering (CE), Electrical Engineering (EE), Software Engineering (SE), and a Master’s of Business Administration in International Business Management (M.B.A.). In addition, ITU offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program in Computer Science to assist students in completing the upper division requirements necessary for admission into the M.S. degree programs in CE, EE, and SE.

The purpose of ITU is to foster excellence in education for students who will make Silicon Valley corporations more productive. All programs offered by ITU have an applied nature with emphasis on a few specialty areas tailored particularly to the needs of companies in Silicon Valley. The special features of ITU include the following: 

• Courses are systematically designed, competency-based, and utilize innovative instructional methods.
• Proficiency in public speaking and technical writing is an integral part of degree requirements.
• The curriculum emphasizes concern for issues pertaining to environmental protection.
• A strong research laboratory component is integrated into the curriculum.
• Special attention is given to practical engineering research problems.
• An Advisory Board consisting of leaders in industry from Silicon Valley is closely involved in shaping the nature and content of the programs offered by ITU.
• Through a special internship program, industrial firms which are members of the ITU Consortium will sponsor a full-time student for a period ranging between one semester and two years. The student will work as a half-time intern with the company on a project containing enough theoretical content to satisfy academic quality and at the same time having significant practical applications.
• An International Exchange Program of scholars from universities around the globe will be established. Such a program will be facilitated through industrial grants and grants from foundations such as the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Fulbright Foundation, among others.

The objective of ITU’s degree programs is the education of competent engineers, engineering managers, and business administrators who are equipped with a thorough understanding of professional ethics, intellectual property law, environmental protection, and other contemporary issues.
