History
{{Main|History of the New York Institute of Technology}}
=Foundation and vision=
In 1910, the New York Institute of Technology's predecessor, New York Technical Institute, opened.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nyit.edu/about_nyit/nyit_at_a_glance/history/|title=NYIT | about_nyit | nyit_at_a_glance|date=April 14, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414003838/http://www.nyit.edu/about_nyit/nyit_at_a_glance/history/ |archive-date=14 April 2010 }} In 1955, the New York Institute of Technology opened under a provisional charter granted by the New York State Board of Regents to NYIT. Its first campus opened at 500 Pacific Street in Brooklyn, New York.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nyit.edu/magazine/2006/winter/features/feature_1.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091229230617/http://www.nyit.edu/magazine/2006/winter/features/feature_1.php|url-status=dead|title=NYIT Magazine - Article -|archive-date=29 December 2009|website=New York Tech}} The founders of NYIT, and in particular, Alexander Schure,{{cite news |first=Scott |last=Travis |title=NSU's former chancellor, Alexander Schure, dies |url=http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/broward/fl-schure-obit-20091123,0,1622342.story |work=South Florida Sun-Sentinel |date=2009-11-23 |access-date=2009-11-28 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121210042526/http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/broward/fl-schure-obit-20091123,0,1622342.story |archive-date=2012-12-10 |url-status=dead }} started NYIT based on the European polytechnic university model, with the mission of offering career-oriented professional education, providing all qualified students access to opportunity, and supporting applications-oriented research. Schure later served as NYIT's first president.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nyit.edu/magazine/2006/winter/features/the50s.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091229221529/http://www.nyit.edu/magazine/2006/winter/features/the50s.php|url-status=dead|title=NYIT Magazine - Article -|archive-date=29 December 2009|website=New York Tech}} In the higher education community at the time, a debate arose around the concern that humanities studies would be overshadowed by too much emphasis on science and engineering. NYIT's goal was to create a balance between science/engineering and a liberal arts education, and ever since, it has been focusing on this model to prepare students for current and future careers.
By the 1958–1959 academic year, the university had 300 students, and the time had come to expand its physical operations. In April 1958, the college purchased the Pythian Temple at 135–145 W. 70th St. in Manhattan for its main center. The building, adjacent to the planned Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, was an ornate 12-story structure with a columned entranceway. Built in 1929 at a cost of $2 million, it included among its features a 1,200-seat auditorium. In 1958, NYIT sponsored the first National Technology Awards, created by Frederick Pittera, an organizer of international fairs and a member of the NYIT Board of Trustees, to help raise funds for the NYIT science and technology laboratories. The awards, held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, were attended by several hundred guests, with entertainment provided by the U.S. Air Force Band. Senate Majority Leader and future President of the United States Lyndon Johnson was the keynote speaker.{{Cite book |last=Frantz |first=Joe Bertram |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=n0pCAAAAIAAJ&q=%22national+technology+awards%22+%22new+york%22 |title=37 Years of Public Service: The Honorable Lyndon B. Johnson |date=1974 |publisher=Shoal Creek Publishers |pages=1958 |language=en}} His speech was broadcast nationally by the ABC Radio Network. Among the honorees were Dr. Wernher von Braun and Major General Bernard Schriever, Commanding General of the Ballistic Air Command. Photos, press clippings, and audio tapes of the event are on view at the Lyndon Johnson Library at Austin, Texas.

==Teaching Machines==
In 1959, NYIT introduced “teaching machines” for student instruction in physics, electronics, and mathematics. NYIT also pioneered the use of mainframes as a teaching tool, having received its first, donated by the CIT Financial Corporation, in 1965. The curriculum was successful enough that NYIT received two grants totaling approximately $3 million from the federal government – one to develop a system of individualized learning through the use of computers; the other to develop a computer-based course in general physics for midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nyit.edu/magazine/2006/winter/features/the60s.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927103512/http://www.nyit.edu/magazine/2006/winter/features/the60s.php|url-status=dead|title=NYIT Magazine | Magazine | NYIT|archivedate=27 September 2011|website=New York Tech}} WLIW (TV) got studio space when it moved in to the New York Institute of Technology in Westbury in 1974, but that arrangement lasted two years.{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116263188/politicians-caught-in-tv-studio-move/|date=May 28, 1976|page=21|first=Leonard|last=Levitt|title=Politicians Caught in TV Studio Move|newspaper=Newsday |via=Newspapers.com|access-date=January 11, 2023|archive-date=January 11, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230111232222/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/116263188/politicians-caught-in-tv-studio-move/|url-status=live}}

The courses are taught in English, and students get the equivalent of an American degree without the expense of traveling abroad. Graduates have an option to earn 'parallel degrees' from NYIT and NUPT or, if they choose, just the NYIT degree. Students can study solely in Nanjing or can opt to take some of their courses at NYIT campuses in New York. Enrollment at NYIT-Nanjing is projected to eventually reach 6,000.{{cite web |url=http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/50143 |title=New York Institute of Technology opens in China | CER |publisher=Chinaeconomicreview.com |access-date=2016-02-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151211031650/http://www.chinaeconomicreview.com/node/50143 |archive-date=2015-12-11 |url-status=dead }}
===Beijing===
Faculty of International Media of Communication University of China (commonly referred to as ICUC) is a Ministry of Education in China-approved Media Technology Center that NYIT launched with the Communication University of China in Beijing in 2015. It is the first China-foreign, cooperatively-run institution in media approved by the Ministry of Education. It offers dual-degree graduate and undergraduate programs.
Students are taught first by Beijing-based NYIT and Communication University of China faculty members and then have the option to complete their studies at NYIT's New York campuses. The campus includes NYIT-designed digital laboratories and a distance-learning, video-presence classroom connected to NYIT's New York campuses. NYIT students in Beijing are able to remotely operate equipment in NYIT's high-tech Home for Innovation, Visualization, and Exploration (HIVE) Center in New York with its motion capture, 3-D, and visualization tools.
The interconnectivity of the New York and Beijing programs enables students and faculty members to collaborate on creative projects and reviews. The NYIT-CUC programs are highly selective, and students chosen from throughout China had to meet both NYIT and CUC admissions standards, including the ability to take their courses in English. The curriculum and requirements of each program are identical to NYIT courses and programs offered in New York.{{cite web|url=http://www.newswise.com/articles/nyit-offers-degrees-with-top-chinese-media-university |title=NYIT Offers Degrees with Top Chinese Media University |publisher=Newswise.com |date=2015-09-17 |access-date=2016-02-14}}
