RET Site at the University of Houston: "Innovations in Nanotechnology"

该奖项为一项为期3年的标准奖提供资金，以支持休斯顿大学工程现场教师研究经验(RET)项目，该项目由Frank J.Claydon博士指导，题为RET Site at the University of Houston：“Innovation in Nanotech”。休斯顿大学库伦工程学院寻求为休斯顿地区的高中STEM教师提供机会，让他们在纳米技术领域与经验丰富的全国公认的教师合作。这项提议将支持来自大休斯顿地区的12名高中STEM教师参加为期三年的为期六周的暑期计划，在此期间，他们将被灌输对工程领域的热情和纳米技术研究的知识，这些知识随后将与他们各自的高中班级分享。该计划的基本内容包括在密歇根大学教员导师和研究生导师的指导下参与研究项目，开发“遗产周期”纳米技术教学模块的专家培训，以及专业发展活动。

This award provides funding for a 3 year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the University of Houston entitled, RET Site at the University of Houston: "Innovations in Nanotechnology," under the direction of Dr. Frank J. Claydon. The University of Houston, Cullen College of Engineering seeks to give Houston area high school STEM teachers the opportunity to collaborate with highly experienced and nationally recognized faculty in the field of nanotechnology. This proposal will support 12 high school STEM teachers from the greater Houston area for a six week summer program each year for three years during which they will be infused with enthusiasm for the field of engineering and knowledge about nanotechnology research which will be subsequently shared with their respective high school classes. Essential elements of the program include participation in research projects under the guidance of a UH faculty mentor and graduate student mentor, expert training in the development of a "Legacy Cycle" nanotechnology teaching module, and professional development activities.
