The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology – Zurich is the best university in Switzerland according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). The ARWU is published by the Institute of Higher Education at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and several indicators of academic or research performance are used to establish the ranking, these include highly cited researchers, articles indexed in major citation indices and staff winning Nobel Prizes.

There are eight Swiss universities in the Word’s Top-500 universities (2008). The Top-5 universities in Switzerland are: 1.Swiss Federal Institute of Technology – Zurich (ranked 24th in the world); 2. University of Zurich (ranked 53rd); 3. University of Basel (87th); 4. University of Geneva (101-151th) and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology – Lausanne (101-151th). Switzerland has a very high density of the world’s top universities, with 1.1 ARWU universities per 1 million inhabitants .

The S F I T – Zurich (ETHZ) is a specialised university. It mainly covers science and technology, with 16 departments that teach mainly in the engineering sciences and architecture, system-oriented sciences, mathematics and natural sciences fields.

The S F Institute of Technology – Zurich was established in 1855 and is a federally funded university. The only other university that is federally funded in Switzerland is the Swiss Institute of Technology – Lausanne (a ‘sister’ university). All other universities are funded at a cantonal level (regional level). Federal funding means the university is a national institution and this gives it a broader and more open educational mandate.

The total number of students at the S F I T – Zurich is 15,093 (roughly 50% undergraduates and 50% graduates). The university has two main campuses: one in the city centre and the other at Honggerberg. The city centre campus is on the top of a hill overlooking the city of Zurich. It sits alongside the Main Building of the University of Zurich, a university that has many links to Institute of Technology Swiss Federal – Zurich.

West Virginia University Institute of Technology is situated in Montgomery, West Virginia. This institute is a 4-year college. It is one of the biggest regional college grounds of West Virginia University as well as separately recognized from the major university grounds of West Virginia University that is in Morgantown. Being a branch of West Virginia University. Locals usually call the institute WVU Tech, simply Tech or West Virginia Tech. In 1895, Montgomery Preparatory School founded this college, which is a sub-college school of West Virginia University. In 1917, this school was estranged from WVU as well as renamed as West Virginia Trade School. In 1966, the school intermingle a Community College and began to reward the postgraduate degree in 1978, in engineering. The college turns out to be a regional college ground in 1996 of West Virginia University. In 2007, WVU became a WVU Tech.

West Virginia University Tech provides various baccalaureate degree courses in high-demand study fields like Nursing, Engineering, Business Management, Printing Management, Computer Science, Life Sciences, Health Service Administration as well as many more. In Control System Engineering also this university provides a postgraduate degree program. Community and Technical College offers many courses like Industrial Technology, Engineering Technology, and Electronic Technology. The athletic teams are called as Golden Bears that compete in NAIA Mid-South Conference. Before 2006 this team competed in NCAA Division 2, in WVIAC.

The women’s basketball team of WVU Tech earned a starting point in NAIA National Tournament by winning the conference tournament. The committee structure of West Virginia University consists of Board of Governors that has 5 committees: Finance and Operation Committee, Regional Campus Committee or Community and Technical College, Audit Committee, The Planning and Policy Committee, and Executive Committee. The Planning and Policy Committee includes Master Planning, Strategic Planning, Supervision, Control, Capital Planning and educational policies as well as affairs management.

West Virginia University Institute Of Technology offers many master degree programs in engineering that prepares students to apply scientific and mathematical principles towards the development, design as well as operational evaluation regarding total systems and solution to the huge range of engineering difficulties, including the combination of human, energy, physical, communications, information, and management requirements as desired. In 1978, this university began to award degrees in masters in engineering in 1978. In 1996, this college was re-merged under its present name in to West Virginia University.

By 1900, only 124 years after declaring independence, the United States had grown and expanded into one of the most prosperous and influential countries in the world. The economy was strong, driven by the power of steel locomotives, steam engines, electricity, and the beginning of automated manufacturing. But the burgeoning economic productivity, along with the complexity of 20th century machinery, created problems when different manufacturers had to work together. Disagreements arose over the units of measurement and how to apply them. For example, one company’s “gallon” might not be the same as another company’s. Without standards, the parts or containers made by one company did not fit another company’s items, resulting in chaos.

On March 3, 1901, the U.S. government chartered the National Bureau of Standards to remedy this problem. Beginning with a staff of 1 2, the new bureau quickly went to work, improving the standards of length and mass measurements, and establishing new standards of temperature, time, and light. Time was especially important, as it synchronizes the activities of so many people. How do railroads, radio and television networks, and other time-conscious organizations know what time it is – and keep the same time? The bureau has provided time signals from a radio station, WWV, since 1 923. Governing this timekeeping is an atomic clock so precise that it will not gain or lose a second in 60 million years!

The National Bureau of Standards changed its name to the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 1988. Today, the NIST has facilities in Gaitherburg, Maryland, and Boulder, Colorado, and employs about 2,800 scientists, engineers, and staff. The NIST continues to improve measurement technology and standards, helping promote economic and technological progress. Laboratories at the NIST include the Building and Fire Research Laboratory, the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology, the Information Technology Laboratory, the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, the Physics Laboratory, and others.
