UT Arlington RET Site on Hazard Mitigation

该奖项为一项为期三年的标准奖项提供资金，以支持位于阿灵顿的德克萨斯大学工程现场的教师研究经验（RET）项目，名为“UT阿灵顿RET减灾现场”，由Nur Yazdani博士指导。这个为期三年的UT阿灵顿RET网站将汇集来自德克萨斯州阿灵顿和周边地区其他五个学区的42名高中STEM教师，围绕减灾这一共同主题进行为期六周的夏季研究体验。该网站将涉及来自土木工程、计算机科学、电气工程、工业工程和教育的多学科教师小组。RET网站将培训教师如何应用数学和科学原理来解决与减轻危害有关的问题，如紧急疏散、空气中有毒物质的扩散和增强黑客检测。这些小组将在“现实世界”的场景中工作，这些场景可以帮助减轻与国土安全、自然灾害和信息安全有关的潜在危机。

This award provides funding for a three year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the University of Texas at Arlington entitled, "UT Arlington RET Site on Hazard Mitigation," under the direction of Dr. Nur Yazdani.This three year UT Arlington RET site will bring together a total of 42 high school STEM teachers from the Arlington, Texas and five other school districts from surrounding areas for a six week summer research experience focused around the common theme of hazard mitigation. This site will involve a multi-disciplinary group of faculty members from civil engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial engineering and education. The RET site will train teachers regarding the application of mathematic and scientific principles to solve problems related to hazard mitigation such as emergency evacuations, dispersion of airborne toxics, and enhanced hacker detection. The teams will work on "real-world" scenarios which can help to mitigate crises that may potentially occur as they relate to homeland security, natural disasters and information security.
