The absence of the fundamentalscoupled with the students’ naiveté about materials, products, and processes requires aslightly different approach in the classroom.The MET program is a manufacturing based curriculum that emphasizes mechanicaldesign, processing, and analysis. The information the students receive in the materialscourse will be encountered again in several of their major classes, but more from a designor manufacturing standpoint.
