Supported by the contributions of its forty member nations, AIT specializes in offering advanced programs in science and engineering. Because it is aimed at training Asian engineers, the institute accepts only Asian students and requires them to return to their countries upon graduation.
站在培育亞洲工程人才的立場，AIT 以招收亞洲學生為主，並要求畢業生回祖國服務；基於引進西方科技的目的，AIT 的師資則來自世界各地。
