Mission Statement
The central mission of the American University of Technology is the transmission, expansion, and application of knowledge through teaching, research and public service.. For the fulfillment of this mission, AUT provides global higher education to students in Lebanon, the Arab world and the region and offers a stimulating learning environment where technology is integrated in the learning/teaching process.
The University believes that the quality of individual and social life depends on the quality of the mind; thus, it provides students with the opportunity to become more competent in their analytical thought, informed judgment, and effective communication to develop an appreciation for the life of the mind. Graduates from AUT will be well rounded individuals, independent of mind, life-long learners, equipped for success in today’s global, inter-cultural workplace
Teaching Philosophy
Since traditional methods of education are no longer compatible with today’s requirements for success in professional life, AUT has adopted the student-centered active learning method of education which includes cooperative, team-based, problem-based and other innovative techniques of learning. This type of learning serves one of the goals stated in the Mission of the University as it promotes such skills as data search and analysis, critical and creative thinking, decision making and team work.
