GK-12: Sensors!

缅因大学（UMaine）工程学院提议与班戈高中（BHS）合作，建立基于传感器学科主题的模范大学/K-12伙伴关系。提议的模式整合了教育和研究，为缅因工程学院的BHS学生和教师，研究生和高级本科生以及教师的利益。GK-12传感器!将涉及缅因大学化学、生物、电气、计算机、机械、土木/环境和空间信息工程专业的教师和学生。5名高级本科生和10名研究生将担任GK-12传感器研究员。在传感器相关领域具有教学和研究专长的教职员工将代表缅因大学的每个主要工程项目。高中教师和学生将受益于在各种课程和校外活动（如学生竞赛）中整合尖端的、基于标准的STEM内容。本科生和研究生以及教师将了解K-12教育的挑战和机遇，同时提高他们的沟通和教学技能。行业参与也是拟议计划的关键组成部分。包括ATM在内的各种技术，以及传统媒体和演讲将传播GK-12的“最佳实践”：传感器！遍及缅因州和全国。该项目得到工程局的部分支持。

The University of Maine (UMaine) College of Engineering proposes to partner with Bangor High School (BHS) to develop a model university/K-12 partnership based on the disciplinary theme of sensors. The proposed model integrates education and research for the benefit of BHS students and teachers, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and faculty, within the College of Engineering at UMaine. GK-12 Sensors! will involve faculty and students from the chemical, biological, electrical, computer, mechanical, civil/environmental, and spatial information engineering programs at the University of Maine. Five advanced undergraduate and ten graduate students will serve as GK-12 Sensor Fellows. Faculty members recognized for their teaching and research expertise in sensor-related areas will represent each of the major Engineering programs at UMaine. High school teachers and students will benefit from the integration of cutting-edge, standards-based STEM content within a variety of classes and extramural activities such as students competitions. Undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty will gain an understanding of the challenges and opportunities of K-12 education, while improving their communication and teaching skills. Industry involvement is also a key component of the proposed program. A variety of technologies, including ATM, as well as traditional media and presentations will disseminate "best practices" from GK-12: Sensors! across Maine and the nation. This project is receiving partial support from the Engineering Directorate.
