Definition: Polytechnic (also known as "polytechnical college" in some countries) refers to a type or institution that focuses on the study, teaching, and research of engineering, technology, mechanical engineering, physics, chemical engineering, computer science, architecture, environmental sciences, and other fields related to technical disciplines. It often provides specialized courses and programs tailored for specific skills or interests. The word 'polytechnic' itself can be a short form of "polytechnique" which is derived from the French term "poly", meaning many, and "technique," meaning method. In English-speaking countries, polytechnics are also known as technical colleges. These institutions are often associated with manufacturing industries such as automotive, electronics, and aerospace. The focus on engineering and technology can lead to a strong emphasis on practical skills, research projects, and hands-on training in order to prepare students for the fast-paced world of the 21st century. Polytechnics are typically recognized by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) as "high school diploma-granting institutions" (HSGI) that offer engineering programs. They typically require students to complete at least three years of study, with a focus on science and technology subjects such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science. Many also have specialized programs for specific areas like mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or information technology. Polytechnics are known for their commitment to education and research, which can lead to the creation of new technologies, innovations in manufacturing processes, and advancements in fields such as renewable energy, biotechnology, and space exploration. They often host industry-related internships and work placements that prepare students for their future careers. In summary, polytechnics are technical colleges specialized in engineering and technology, known for their focus on practical skills, research projects, and the creation of new technologies.
