The Renewable Energy Systems Opportunity for Unified Research Collaboration and Education (RESOURCE) program will provide two-year fellowships to 25 PhD students in engineering disciplines over a five-year project. The intellectual theme for the project will be on the development of sustainable, energy efficient renewable energy technologies including solar, wind and biofuels. Graduate fellows will partner with 50 sixth grade school teachers to create innovative curriculum and educational tools that promote interest in renewable energy technologies and associated STEM disciplines. Fellows and teachers will collaborate on communicating STEM subjects to technical and non-technical audiences, leadership, team building, and teaching. This will enrich the communication of fellows? research and will also improve their ability to communicate to different educational communities including those from different cultural backgrounds.The intellectual merit of the project is that it will create the model for a new approach to educating engineering graduate students, while helping GK-12 teachers develop the awareness of the university as a source of new content for renewable energy classroom lessons and laboratory experiments. It is anticipated that several of the training elements developed through this program will be incorporated as an integral part of other STEM graduate programs at UC Davis and research universities across the nation. The broader impact of the project is that it directly addresses the national policy imperative to increase the participation of US citizens, particularly women and underrepresented minorities, in engineering studies and careers. Overall, RESOURCE will enhance the pedagogical impact of graduate education to society.

可再生能源系统统一研究合作和教育机会 (RESOURCE) 计划将在一个为期五年的项目中为工程学科的 25 名博士生提供为期两年的奖学金。该项目的知识主题将是开发可持续、节能的可再生能源技术，包括太阳能、风能和生物燃料。研究生将与 50 名六年级学校教师合作，创建创新课程和教育工具，以提高人们对可再生能源技术和相关 STEM 学科的兴趣。研究员和教师将合作向技术和非技术受众传达 STEM 主题、领导力、团队建设和教学。这样会丰富同道们的交流吗？研究，还将提高他们与不同教育社区（包括来自不同文化背景的教育社区）沟通的能力。该项目的智力价值在于，它将创建教育工程研究生的新方法的模型，同时帮助 GK-12 教师培养大学作为可再生能源课堂课程和实验室实验新内容来源的意识。 预计通过该计划开发的一些培训要素将成为加州大学戴维斯分校和全国研究型大学其他 STEM 研究生计划的组成部分。 该项目更广泛的影响在于，它直接解决了增加美国公民，特别是女性和代表性不足的少数族裔参与工程研究和职业的国家政策的必要性。 总体而言，RESOURCE 将增强研究生教育对社会的教学影响。
