The Asian Institute of Technology promotes technological change and sustainable development in the Asian-Pacific region through higher education, research and outreach. Established in 1959, AIT has become a leading regional postgraduate institution. Today, AIT is actively working with public and private sector partners throughout the region and with some of the top universities in the world. AIT’s Mission is to develop highly qualified and committed professionals who play leading roles in the region’s sustainable development and its integration into the global economy.
The School of Engineering and Technology (SET) will strive to create synergies between the activities of the two former schools to build up world-class multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary education, research and outreach
activities across the boundaries of traditional fields of knowledge. More interdisciplinary programs shall be
launched so faculty members can work effectively across the disciplinary walls. The new school will enhance its
academic portfolio by emphatically injecting the “5I” features namely internationality, innovation, integration,
information technology and industrial partnership.
