Lattice Studies of the Composite Higgs Mechanism

I will review recent work searching for the composite Higgs mechanism in 
nearly conformal gauge theories.  The new mechanism of Electroweak symmetry 
breaking beyond the Standard Model would replace the elementary Higgs 
particle with a composite of new constituents on the TeV scale providing 
a solution to major shortcomings of the Standard Model.
