Society of Manufacturing Engineers completed the acquisition of Milestone C.

Society of Manufacturing Engineers, a nonprofit organization that represents the entire North American manufacturing industry, completed the acquisition of Milestone C, a provider of experiential STEM programs that emulate industry practices from robotics to software to aerospace. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Milestone C shares our vision for building meaningful pathways where young learners can experience the excitement of engineering, technology, and teamwork well before graduation. I appreciate the significance of how Milestone C began—an engineer working side-by-side with educators to bring industry relevance into the classroom. Manufacturers consistently emphasize that attracting and developing talent must start earlier, and we’re responding,” eannine Kunz, SME Executive Director and CEO.
