I'm usually quite good keeping track of TLA's but it's late and I've drawn a blank on what ITT stands for. Wikipedia is being no help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITT

Anyone?

(PS - I'm not ashamed to ask. I think it's a tiny public service to ask the meaning of an acronym as it reminds everyone else that these aren't necessarily universally understood even in our own little tech bubble)

"By 1999, ITT Corporation (which had merged with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide the year before) had divested itself completely of ITT Tech's shares. The schools were allowed to continue using the "ITT" name under license."
