Advanced Manufacturing Programs
Student Initiatives
The Mechanical and Manufacturing Technologies for Energy and Sustainability (MET² ) Program better prepares community college and college or university mechanical manufacturing engineering and technology students with technical, social, professional, and entrepreneurial skills required to meet today’s workforce demands.
MET² Program provides genuine, real-world challenges or problems to fuel projects explored by self-managed
Program Teams of students. Program Teams are inter-institutional, interdisciplinary, and self-managed to capitalize on the synergy between the theoretical knowledge of university students and faculty (Partner
universities in Connecticut), complemented by the requisite hands-on technical skills of community college students and faculty (Connecticut State Community College). Program Teams will meet and conduct research culminating in a professional-level final report and presentation.
