LaRET Site: Linking Teachers with Researchers to Improve Engineering Education

该奖项用于资助路易斯安那州立大学在Warren N.Waggenspack博士的指导下，为路易斯安那州立大学的工程现场教师研究经验(RET)项目提供资金，该项目名为“Laret Site：链接教师和研究人员以改善工程教育”。该工程现场教师研究体验(RET)包括为期六周的暑期积极学习活动和学年后续活动，共有30名来自多个地区公立学校和社区大学教师的高中科学教师参加，每年10名，为期三年，在路易斯安那州立大学的生物模块多尺度系统中心(CBM2)、高级微结构和器件中心(CAMD)、战略倡议办公室和Gordon A.凯恩科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)扫盲中心(STEM)。LARET的主要目的是建立一个知识和理解的基础设施，以便所有参与者在促进和加强STEM教育实践方面发展专门知识和战略，并加强工程方面的知识，并在研究人员和高中/社区大学实践者之间建立合作关系。

This award provides funding for a 3 year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the Louisiana State University entitled, "LaRET Site: Linking Teachers with Researchers to Improve Engineering Education", under the direction of Dr. Warren N. Waggenspack. This Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site involves a six-week summer research schedule of active learning activities and academic year follow-on activities for a total of 30 high school science teachers from several regional public school districts and community college faculty, 10 each year for three years at LSU's Center for BioModular Multi-Scale Systems (CBM2), Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD), Office of Strategic Initiatives and the Gordon A. Cain Center for Scientific, Technological, Engineering and Mathematical (STEM) Literacy. The primary purpose of the LaRET is to build an infrastructure of knowledge and understanding so that all participants develop expertise and strategies in promoting and strengthening STEM education practices with an empahsis in engineering and developing collaborative connections among researchers and high school/community college practitioners.
