The Georgia Institute of Technology (commonly referred to as Georgia Tech and GT or, in the state of Georgia, as Tech or the Institute)^[9] is a public research university and institute of technology in Atlanta, Georgia.^[10] Established in 1885, it is part of the University System of Georgia and has satellite campuses in Savannah, Georgia, Metz, France, Shenzhen, China, and Singapore.

The school was founded as the Georgia School of Technology as part of Reconstruction plans to build an industrial economy in the post-Civil War Southern United States. Initially, it offered only a degree in mechanical engineering. By 1901, its curriculum had expanded to include electrical, civil, and chemical engineering. In 1948, the school changed its name to reflect its evolution from a trade school to a technical institute and research university. Georgia Tech is organized into 6 colleges with approximately 31 departments and academic units. It has a special emphasis on the academic fields of science and technology.

Georgia Tech fields eight men's and seven women's teams that compete in NCAA Division I athletics, which have won five national championships throughout their history. The university is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
