"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)." This award provides funding for a 3 year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at Texas A&M University (TAMU) entitled, "RET Site: Enrichment Experiences in Engineering (E3) for Teachers Summer Research Program", under the direction of Dr. Robin Autenrieth. This program is a renewal of a successful RET Site and is a collaborative effort with the TAMU College of Engineering, College of Science, and College of Education. Led by Dr. Autenrieth, and co-PI, Karen Butler-Purry, the E3 RET Site will continue to match 10 inservice and 2 preservice teachers per year (36 total) with TAMU engineering researchers for a six week summer research experience. This Site addresses the program's goal of involving K-12 teachers in NSF-funded engineering research to bring knowledge of engineering and technological innovation into their classrooms. To accomplish this goal the program has the following four major objectives linked to the intended outcomes and impacts: 1) Provide contemporary engineering research experiences and enhance understanding of the nature of engineering. 2) Scaffold teacher development of authentic inquiry activities. 3) Improve public school teachers knowledge about careers in engineering. 4) Build a community of teachers who remain engaged with TAMU Engineering and network among themselves.

“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该奖项为3年标准奖提供资金，以支持德克萨斯州A M大学（TAMU）工程现场项目中的教师研究经验（RET），题为“RET现场：丰富工程经验（E3）教师暑期研究计划”，在Robin Autenrieth博士的指导下。该计划是一个成功的RET网站的更新，是与工程，科学学院和教育学院的TAMU学院的合作努力。在Autenrieth博士和共同PI Karen Butler-Purry的领导下，E3 RET网站将继续每年将10名在职教师和2名兼职教师（共36名）与TAMU工程研究人员进行为期六周的夏季研究体验。该网站致力于让K-12教师参与NSF资助的工程研究，将工程和技术创新知识带入课堂。为了实现这一目标，该计划有以下四个主要目标与预期的成果和影响：1）提供当代工程研究经验，提高对工程性质的理解。2)支架式教师发展真实探究活动。 3)提高公立学校教师对工程职业的认识。 4)建立一个教师社区，让他们继续参与TAMU工程并在他们之间建立网络。
