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.

该奖项用于资助德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校在Nur Yazdann博士的指导下开展的一项工程领域教师研究经验(RET)项目，该项目为期三年，由Nur Yazdann博士指导。该项目为期三年，将汇集来自德克萨斯州阿灵顿和其他五个周边地区的42名高中STEM教师，进行为期六周的夏季研究体验，重点关注共同的减灾主题。该网站将涉及土木工程、计算机科学、电气工程、工业工程和教育等多学科的教职员工。RET网站将培训教师如何应用数学和科学原理来解决与减灾相关的问题，如紧急疏散、空气中有毒物质的扩散和增强的黑客检测。这些团队将致力于“真实世界”的情景，这有助于缓解可能发生的危机，因为这些危机涉及国土安全、自然灾害和信息安全。
