Background**

Kettering University was founded as the School of Automotive Trades in 1919, and became the Flint Institute of Technology in 1923.  In 1926 the school was adopted by the General Motors Corporation, and changed its name to General Motors Institute.  In 1982, the school became independent from General Motors, and became GMI Engineering and Management Institute.  On January 1, 1998, GMI Engineering and Management Institute became Kettering University to honor Charles F. Kettering who was crucial in America’s heritage of industrial innovation and instrumental in the founding and growth of GMI.  Charles F. Kettering was vice president of General Motors from 1920 - 1947.  He believed experience was the best education for the engineering profession.
