AIR FORCE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Air</strong> Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) located at Wright-Patterson <strong>Air</strong> Force Base, OH,<br />
is a key component of <strong>Air</strong> <strong>University</strong> and <strong>Air</strong> Education and Training Command. AFIT‘s<br />
mission is to advance air, space, and cyberspace power for the Nation, its partners, and our<br />
armed forces by providing relevant defense-focused technical graduate and continuing education,<br />
research, and consultation. <strong>The</strong> Institute educates more than 6,300 students daily through inresidence,<br />
on-site, and distance learning courses offered by its three schools: the Graduate<br />
School of Engineering and Management, the School of Systems and Logistics, and <strong>The</strong> Civil<br />
Engineer School. It is also the home of the <strong>Air</strong> Force Center for Systems Engineering and the<br />
<strong>Air</strong> Force Cyberspace Technical Center of Excellence along with the Institute‘s Advanced<br />
Navigation Technology Center, the Center for Directed Energy, the Center for Measurement and<br />
Signature Intelligence Studies and Research, and the Center for Operational Analysis.<br />
AFIT provides graduate education programs through the Graduate School of Engineering and<br />
Management. AFIT is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the<br />
North Central Association. In addition to institutional accreditation, the Accreditation Board for<br />
Engineering and Technology accredits selected programs within the Graduate School. <strong>The</strong><br />
School of Systems and Logistics and <strong>The</strong> Civil Engineer School provide a wide array of PCE<br />
short courses and workshops to assist AF and DoD military and civilian members in becoming<br />
more proficient in their technical and supporting tasks. <strong>The</strong> Civilian Institution Programs office<br />
manages specialized graduate school assignments required by a variety of AF needs, including<br />
medical and instructional assignments.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Graduate School of Engineering and Management offers advanced scientific,<br />
engineering, and management education through 13 PhD, 23 Masters, and multiple<br />
graduate certificate programs. <strong>The</strong> school is comprised of the Departments of<br />
Mathematics and Statistics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Engineering Physics,<br />

faculty is a unique combination of over 80 <strong>Air</strong> Force, Army, and Navy officers and DOD<br />
civilians who combine extensive practical field experience with world-class academic<br />
expertise in PCE, consulting, and research.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Civil Engineer School (CES) provides civil engineering and environmental PCE<br />
courses in residence and via satellite and web delivery. <strong>The</strong> technical offerings update<br />
and broaden the professional and technical knowledge of architects and civil, electrical,<br />
mechanical, industrial, and general engineers.<br />
