This award provides funding for a three year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science Site program at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) entitled, "RET Site for Structured Organic Particulates", under the direction of Dr. John D. Carpinelli and Dr. Rajesh N. Dave. This proposal seeks funding to build upon the current RET Site for Structured Organic Particulates program at NJIT, in conjunction with the NSF-sponsored Engineering Research Center (ERC) on Structured Organic Particulates (C-SOPS). A total of 36 teachers, twelve high school teachers per year for three years, will engage in a six-week research program under the guidance of faculty supervisors, with follow-up programs during each school year. Participants will be high school science and technology teachers from school districts in northern and central New Jersey, with an emphasis on teachers from districts that serve large numbers of students from underrepresented populations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). NJIT, through its Center for Pre-College Programs (CPCP), is very actively engaged with the K-12 community in New Jersey, and works with urban districts and their teachers that serve the targeted student population. CPCP works with dozens of teachers every year through various programs; its work has an immediate impact on thousands of students each year, with the vast majority from underrepresented populations. The proposed program stems from cutting-edge C-SOPS research projects dealing with topics in pharmaceutical materials structure, function, performance, and processing, geared towards a unifying goal of improving pharmaceutical products. The fundamental knowledge from research that leads to improved design, manufacturing and quality of pharmaceutical products, will help high school teachers better understand the role of engineers and develop curriculum materials that will help their students better appreciate science and engineering. The program trains teachers in inquiry-based research, and in concepts of product design and engineering through examples from pharmaceutical engineering.The broader impacts of this proposal are multifaceted. The RET program will significantly impact a large number of underrepresented minority students from the selected urban school districts, several of which have a large number of African-American and/or Hispanic students. Based on the results of a prior RET program at NJIT, it is anticipated that this number will be in the thousands during the course of the program, and many times more after the program ends as teachers continue to use and build upon the materials they develop through this program. As participating teachers bring their experiences and educational materials into their own classrooms, this program will ultimately reach thousands of students, and will contribute towards development of a well-trained, diverse workforce in this area of national importance. Modules will be placed in several on-line repositories available at the disposal of the C-SOPS ERC, making them accessible to scores of other educators across the country, and will be easily adaptable to meet the incoming common core standards, thus facilitating their use on a national scale.

该奖项为三年标准奖提供了资金，以支持新泽西理工学院（NJIT）的工程和计算机科学网站计划的研究经验，题为“结构化有机颗粒的RET网站”，在John D. Carpinelli博士和Rajesh N. Dave博士的指导下。该提案寻求资金在NJIT的当前RET站点上与NSF赞助的工程研究中心（ERC）结构化有机颗粒（ERC）结构化有机颗粒计划（C-SOP）。在教师主管的指导下，总共有36名教师，每年十二名高中教师，每年三年，将在每个学年进行六周的研究计划。参与者将是来自北部和新泽西州中部学区的高中科学技术教师，重点是来自科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）中代表性不足的地区的大量学生的教师。 NJIT通过其大学预科计划中心（CPCP）非常积极地与新泽西州的K-12社区互动，并与为有针对性的学生群体服务的城市地区及其老师合作。 CPCP每年通过各种计划与数十名教师合作；它的工作每年对成千上万的学生产生直接影响，而大多数人的人口不足。拟议的计划源于涉及药品材料结构，功能，性能和加工主题的尖端C-SOP研究项目，旨在改善药品的统一目标。从研究中的基本知识导致制药产品的设计，制造和质量的改进，将有助于高中教师更好地了解工程师的作用，并开发课程材料，以帮助他们的学生更好地欣赏科学和工程学。该计划通过药品工程的示例来培训基于询问的研究以及产品设计和工程的概念。该提案的更广泛影响是多方面的。 RET计划将显着影响来自选定城市学区的大量代表性不足的少数族裔学生，其中一些学生有大量的非裔美国人和/或西班牙裔学生。根据NJIT先前的RET计划的结果，预计该数字将在该计划过程中成千上万，并且随着教师继续使用并建立通过该计划开发的材料，该计划结束后的许多次。随着参与的教师将他们的经验和教育材料带入自己的教室，该计划最终将吸引成千上万的学生，并为在这一具有国家重要性领域的训练有素，多样化的劳动力方面做出贡献。模块将放置在几个在线存储库中，可用于COPS ERC，使其可容纳全国其他数十名教育工作者，并且很容易适应以满足传入的通用核心标准，从而促进了他们在全国范围内使用的使用。
