This award provides funding for a 3 year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the Polytechnic University of New York entitled, "RET Site: Science and Mechatronics Aided Research for Teachers", under the direction of Dr. Vikram Kapila.This Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site will provide a professional development opportunity to 10 high school teachers per year (total of 30 teachers) in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). These teachers will work with and be mentored by Dr. Kapila and three senior personnel as they conduct inquiry-based, hands-on, engineering research in the exciting field of mechatronics during six-week long summer workshops.The project will benefit the teachers by reinforcing their science and math skills; enriching their STEM experience through exposure to real world engineering research; developing and honing their research, communication and presentation skills; and providing them opportunities to network with STEM educators.

该奖项用于资助纽约理工大学一项名为“RET站点：科学和机电电子学辅助教师研究”的为期3年的持续奖励项目，该项目由Vikram Kapilal博士指导。工程站点的教师研究经验(RET)每年将为10名科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的高中教师(共30名教师)提供专业发展机会。这些教师将与卡皮拉博士和三名高级人员一起工作，并在他们的指导下，在为期六周的暑期工作坊中，在激动人心的机电领域进行基于探究的、动手的、工程研究。该项目将通过增强教师的科学和数学技能、通过接触现实世界的工程研究来丰富他们的STEM经验、发展和磨练他们的研究、沟通和演示技能，并为他们提供与STEM教育工作者建立网络的机会，从而使他们受益。
