                 1.1 Introduction 
                  
                 The necessity of establishing a technical institute for the Bangladesh Armed Forces was felt 
                 in the late eighties. In the absence of such an institution, officers of Bangladesh Armed 
                 Forces had been graduating from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology 
                 (BUET), Bangladesh Institute of Technology (BIT) and other foreign institutions of science 
                 and technology. With a view to meet the increasing demand for the development and 
                 dissemination of engineering and technological knowledge, Bangladesh Armed Forces 
                 established the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) that promises to provide 
                 facilities for higher technical education both for the officers of Bangladesh Armed Forces as 
                 well as for civil students from home and abroad. The motto of MIST is “Technology for 
                 Advancement”. Founded on 19 April 1998, MIST started its journey on 31 January 1999 by 
                 offering a four-year bachelor's degree on Civil Engineering. Bachelor degree on Computer 
                 Science Engineering course started on 31 January 1999.  Bachelor courses on Electrical, 
                 Electronic & Communication Engineering and Mechanical Engineering started its journey on 
                 08 February 2003.   Bachelor of Science program on Aeronautical Engineering (AE) has 
                 started from Feb 2009. 
                  
                   
                 1.2 Aim 
                  
                 The aim of MIST is to conduct undergraduate courses in various disciplines of Engineering 
                 and post graduate course in Business Administration for four/two academic years according 
                 to syllabi leading to Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B. Sc. Engineering) and MBA 
                 degrees to be conferred by the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) for officers of 
                 the armed forces and civil students from home and abroad.
