GK-12: Sensors!

缅因州大学(UMaine)工程学院提议与班戈高中(BHS)合作，开发基于传感器学科主题的示范大学/K-12合作伙伴关系。建议的模式将教育和研究结合在一起，造福于BHS的学生和教师，以及UMaine工程学院内的研究生和高级本科生和教职员工。GK-12传感器！将涉及缅因州大学化学、生物、电气、计算机、机械、土木/环境和空间信息工程专业的教职员工和学生。五名高级本科生和十名研究生将担任GK-12传感器研究员。在传感器相关领域有教学和研究专长的教职员工将代表UMaine大学的每一个主要工程项目。高中教师和学生将受益于将尖端的、基于标准的STEM内容整合到各种课堂和校外活动中，如学生比赛。本科生、研究生和教职员工将了解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一个关键组成部分。包括自动柜员机在内的各种技术以及传统媒体和演示文稿将传播来自GK-12的“最佳实践”：传感器！在缅因州和全国各地。这个项目得到了工程局的部分支持。

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.
