The writer suggests that technology educators should consider including powder metal (P/M) technology in the manufacturing curriculum. P/M technology is a process where complex parts are produced to near net shape from tiny particles of almost any metal. The writer discusses the advantages of P/M parts, describes the P/M process, lists some resources available to instructors who want to learn about and include P/M technology in a manufacturing unit, details the equipment required to teach about P/M, provides examples of how to include P/M in the curriculum, and outlines a P/M laboratory activity.
