Looks like YouTube doesn't have it all. Manufacturing
practitioners who are bored with TV reruns and reality shows can instead
turn to online videos to develop industry and technological insights.
METV--Manufacturing Engineering magazine's Web streaming video
channel--now posts two complete video programs online each month for
free and on demand.

Since its debut in October 2006, METV has provided an opportunity
to preview and evaluate the Fundamentals of Manufacturing Processes
videos from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. Topics covered in
the videos include cutting tool materials, fastening and assembly,
hydroforming, welding, and sheet metal coil processing.
To watch the videos, viewers will need a high-speed Internet
connection and Windows Media Player (version 11 or higher).
