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 (5 partner
universities), complemented by the requisite hands-on technical skills of community college students and faculty
(12 partner community colleges). Program Teams will meet and conduct research culminating in a professional-level final report and presentation.
