------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ITA

Brazil's most selective Engineering school, ITA accepts yearly only about 150 students out of more than 8000 applicants. ITA is one of the few schools in Brazil that recruits students nationally and offers a residential campus where most students and faculty live. All students receive full scholarship from the Brazilian government. ITA's rigorous undergraduate programs are 5 years long and lead directly to professional degrees in Aeronautical, Electronics, Computer, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering. Average scores of ITA Electronics and Computer Engineering students in national comprehensive examinations for graduating engineers have consistently been the highest in Brazil.

ITA was founded in 1950 as the initial institute in Brazil's Aerospace Technical Center (CTA), Latin America's largest research center. CTA's planner and ITA's first provost was Richard H. Smith, who previously headed the Aeronautics department at MIT. ITA was the first institution to offer Aeronautical and Electronics Engineering degrees and post-graduate degrees in Brazil. Embraer, now the world's leading regional-jet manufacturer, was spun off from ITA in 1969. ITA/CTA research in the 1970s is also behind Brazil's highly successful renewable-energy program. A majority of cars now sold in Brazil can use ethanol as fuel.

ITA pioneered Computer Science in Brazil with the construction of the first computer in 1961 and Tercio Pacitti's best-selling books on numerical methods in the 1960s and 1970s (he would become ITA's provost in 1982). Computer Engineering was organized as an independent ITA department in 1989.
