Teacher Institute for Science/Mathematics Education Through Engineering Experiences

该项目将在夏季期间为华盛顿州立大学带来平均20名中学和社区大学教师，为期六周多一点。在此期间，教师们将完全投入到导师工程学院的一个研究项目中。该项目的目的是让教师更多地了解工程学的本质，并根据他们的研究经验将一些教学模块纳入他们的课堂。在这一年中，将通过指导教师对参与者课堂的访问以及参与者返回大学提交关于其教学单元经验的论文，对研究经验进行实质性的后续行动。该项目将在项目的三年中直接雇用大约60名教师。成本份额为基金会支持的37.4%。

This project will bring an average of 20 middle, secondary and community college teachers to Washington State University for a little more than six weeks during the summer. During this time the teachers will be totally engaged in a research project of the mentor engineering faculty. The aim of the project is to make teachers more aware of the nature of engineering and to incorporate some teaching modules into their classrooms based on their research experience. There will be substantial follow-up of the research experience with visits by the mentor faculty to the participants classroom during the year as well as the participants return to the University to present papers on the experience with their teaching modules. The project will directly engage approximately 60 teachers directly in the three years of the project. The cost share is 37.4% of Foundation support.
