At MIT, departments and other academic units are commonly referred to by their corresponding numbers—for instance, students typically do not say they major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Rather, they typically say, "I am in Course 6."
That is why you will see numerical references throughout the OCW course sites for both academic units and course offerings. |
