The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has teamed up with the Association for Iron and Steel Technology Foundation (AIST Foundation) to create the Ferrous Metallurgy Education Today (FeMET) Initiative. Its three goals are: to compel more students to choose metallurgy or materials science as their field of study, to recruit more of such graduates into the steel industry, and to increase the number of professors knowledgeable in steel in North American universities.

The purpose of the FeMET Curriculum Development Program is to develop steel-centric course materials and themes to deepen the exposure students receive to ferrous metallurgy and to the steel industry as it functions today.

This website features interactive, educational modules to enhance ferrous metallurgy undergraduate education. It has been developed within the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at WSU but is intended to be public for anyone to use.
