Modified bitumen roofing
Modified bitumen roofing (mod-bit) is a low-slope roofing system of polymer-modified asphalt sheets laid in multiple plies, typically lasting 20 to 25 years, installed by torch, adhesive, or self-adhered methods.
Modified condition/decision coverage
Modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) is a software testing criterion, introduced by Chilenski and Miller in 1994, requiring each condition to independently affect its decision's outcome.

Modine Manufacturing is an American thermal management company in Racine, Wisconsin, founded in 1916, known for heat transfer products, vehicle cooling, and fast-growing data center cooling systems.
MODIS
MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a 36-band NASA imaging spectroradiometer flying on the Terra and Aqua satellites since 1999 and 2002, measuring vegetation, clouds, fires, snow, and ocean color worldwide.
ModRetro
ModRetro is an American retro-gaming hardware company founded by Palmer Luckey and Torin Herndon, maker of the Chromatic, an FPGA handheld console playing Game Boy cartridges.
ModSecurity
ModSecurity is an open-source, cross-platform web application firewall engine for Apache, IIS, and Nginx that inspects HTTP traffic against rules written in its SecRule language.
Modula (company)
Modula S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of automated storage and retrieval systems, founded in 1987 by engineer Franco Stefani and best known for its Modula Lift vertical lift module.
Modula-2
Modula-2 is a statically typed procedural programming language designed by Niklaus Wirth at ETH Zurich in 1978 as a successor to Pascal, intended for systems programming.
Modula-3
Modula-3 is a systems programming language designed at DEC SRC and Olivetti Research California, first published in 1988, supporting interfaces, objects, generics, threads, and garbage collection while isolating unsafe code.
Modular building
A modular building, also called Permanent Modular Construction, is a permanent or temporary structure assembled on site from factory-built modules, often cutting schedules by about 42%.
Modular connector
A modular connector is a plastic plug-and-jack interconnect, best known as the RJ connectors used on telephone and Ethernet cables, developed by the Bell System in the 1960s.
Modular construction
Modular construction is a building method in which factory-made three-dimensional modules are assembled on-site into finished structures, faster and with less waste than site building.
Modular data center
A modular data center is a data center built from pre-engineered, factory-integrated assemblies of racks, power, cooling, and fire protection, cutting delivery times from 24–36 months to 12–16.
Modular design
Modular design is an engineering approach that partitions a product into independent modules produced separately and joined by specified interfaces, enabling variety, easier repair, and faster construction.
Modular Helium Reactor
The Modular Helium Reactor (MHR) is a small, passively safe high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor using helium coolant, graphite, and coated-particle fuel, developed by General Atomics from designs including the MHTGR.
Modular humanoid
A modular humanoid is a humanoid robot built from interchangeable joint, limb, and software modules that can be reconfigured, upgraded, or repaired by swapping parts.
Modular Integrated Communications Helmet
The Modular Integrated Communications Helmet, or MICH, is a US Special Operations combat helmet from the late 1990s that became the basis for the Army's Advanced Combat Helmet.
Modular multilevel converter
A modular multilevel converter, or MMC, is a high-power electronic converter that spreads AC-to-DC conversion across many series-connected submodules; invented by Rainer Marquardt in 2001, it dominates HVDC transmission.
Modular neural network
A modular neural network is a machine learning architecture that decomposes computation into specialized modules, combined by a routing or gating mechanism to solve the overall task.
Modular programming
Modular programming: software design technique decomposing programs into independent, interchangeable modules with well-defined interfaces; key ideas information hiding (Parnas 1972), 1968 Constantine symposium, Meyer's modularity rules, module-call overhead costs.
Modular Prosthetic Limb
The Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL) is an advanced prosthetic arm developed by Johns Hopkins APL under DARPA's Revolutionizing Prosthetics program, primarily as a research tool for testing direct neural control.
Modular Robotics (company)
Modular Robotics is an American educational robotics company in Boulder, Colorado, founded in 2008 as a Carnegie Mellon spinoff and known for its Cubelets robot blocks.
Modular self-reconfigurable robots
Modular self-reconfigurable robots are robots built from many repeated modules, each with sensing, actuation, and connections, that rearrange into shapes like snakes or rolling loops to match the task.
Modulated Wideband Converter
The modulated wideband converter (MWC) is a sub-Nyquist sampling system that blindly samples sparse wideband analog signals at rates far below Nyquist, proposed at the Technion in 2009.
Modulation and coding scheme
A modulation and coding scheme (MCS) is a Wi-Fi index naming a combination of modulation, coding rate, and spatial streams that determines the data rate.
Modulation instability
Modulation instability is a nonlinear wave effect in which a continuous wave grows unstable and breaks into pulses, arising from the Kerr nonlinearity and dispersion in optical fibers.
Modules (C++)
Modules are a C++20 language feature replacing header files, exporting declarations compiled into binary form and loaded with import; they were merged into the C++20 draft in 2019.
Moe Z. Win
Moe Z. Win is an American electrical engineer, the Robert R. Taylor Professor at MIT, known for ultra-wideband radio research and the paper "Fundamental Limits of Wideband Localization."
MOEA/D
MOEA/D (Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm Based on Decomposition) is an evolutionary algorithm, proposed by Qingfu Zhang and Hui Li in 2007, that decomposes a multiobjective optimization problem into scalar subproblems solved simultaneously.
