NAIT Materials Engineering Technologist Program Suspension

In May 2025, NAIT announced it was suspending 18 programs. The Materials Engineering Technologist (MET) program was included in the list of suspended programs and is important to our industry. In response, IPEIA consulted with the Industry Groups to draft a letter requesting NAIT reconsider the suspension.
