Preparing Students for Success
M.E.T. challenges all aspects of your intellectual curiosity and initiative. Chances are you’ve already excelled in the educational offerings at your high school. M.E.T. takes that a step further, giving you the freedom to test yourself in real-world situations.rnrnSolve problems as a critical thinker, grounded in math, science, and the liberal arts. Move from the “what if” to the “here’s how” as an innovator and entrepreneur. Open your future to careers that will call for a dual understanding of business and engineering.rnrnAfter all, even the most innovative tech invention won’t take you very far if you don’t have the knowledge to transform it into a proof of concept, a new product, or even your own start-up.
We are a very cooperative and welcoming group. When you walk into the M.E.T. office, there are usually people working on projects together, and you can always ask someone to read over your essay or help you debug some code. Everyone is willing to help.
