This award provides funding for a 3 year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the University of Connecticut (UConn) entitled, RET Site: The Joule Fellows-Teachers in Sustainable Energies Research Laboratories", under the direction of Dr. Kazem Kazerounian. This Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site is a comprehensive program to host a total of 36 teachers and instructors (12 each year for three years, 8 from high school, 2 from middle school and 2 from community colleges) as Joule Fellows at the University of Connecticut for six summer weeks with long term academic year follow-on programs. At UConn they will participate in a rich spectrum of activities that will provide them a broad view of research methods and hands-on education and research experience in ongoing programs in sustainable energies. The planned activities of the program are integrated into the following five categories: 1) research preparation, 2) research participation, 3) professional development, 4) bridging technology and K-12 curriculum, and 5) mentorship and outreach. To attain sustainablility and institutionalization, the project team will develop a combination of activities: an innovative Master of Engineering Education degree program, collaboration with the State to develop engineering frameworks in K-12 curricula, and building community-based enabling partnerships.

该奖项用于资助康涅狄格大学(UConn)在Kazem Kazerounian博士的指导下，为康涅狄格大学(UConn)工程现场教师研究经验(RET Site：The Joule Flowers--可持续能源研究实验室的教师)项目提供的为期3年的持续奖励。工程现场教师研究体验(RET)是一项综合性计划，共接待36名教师和讲师(三年内每年12名，高中8名，中学2名，社区大学2名)，作为康涅狄格大学的焦耳研究员，为期六周，并有长期的学年后续计划。在康涅狄格州大学，他们将参加一系列丰富的活动，这些活动将为他们提供广泛的研究方法以及正在进行的可持续能源项目中的实践教育和研究经验。该计划计划的活动分为以下五类：1)研究准备，2)研究参与，3)专业发展，4)衔接技术和K-12课程，5)指导和外展。为了实现可持续性和制度化，项目团队将开发一系列活动：创新的工程硕士教育学位课程，与国家合作在K-12课程中开发工程框架，以及建立基于社区的有利伙伴关系。
