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 the University of Cincinnati (UC) entitled, RET Site on "Challenge-Based Learning and Engineering Design Process (EDP) Enhanced Research Experiences for Middle and High School In-Service Teachers", under the direction of Dr. Anant Kukreti, Director for Engineering Outreach, College of Engineering and Applied Science. This proposal establishes a RET Site for a total of 36 (12 per year) STEM in-service middle and high school teachers in Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) and Engineering Design Process (EDP) pedagogy. The goals are three fold: 1) To educate, cultivate, and enrich science and math teachers' content delivery in their classrooms by exploring the engineering design-and challenge for 7-weeks during the summer. 2) To improve grades 7-12 students' science and math achievement and stimulate interest in STEM careers as a result of better instruction and curriculum delivered by participating teachers trained in engineering content and design-based instruction. 3) To support participating teachers in becoming role models by applying their research experiences in their classrooms and communicating them effectively to their colleagues. The RET Site builds on the proven success of 2 NSF RET Sites, 5 NSF REU Sites, and 2 RET Supplements.This RET Site broadens the impact of the current Cincinnati Engineering Enhanced Mathematics and Science Program (CEEMS), a NSF Targeted Math & Science Partnership (MSP) Program grant, which includes 14 Ohio school districts with 73,392 students and 4,709 teachers. This RET Site includes 14 non-CEEMS school districts (12 in Ohio and 2 in Kentucky) with 72,546 students and 4,369 teachers. Since RET and CEEMS teachers both develop and test curriculum design, teaching techniques, and student learning modalities using CBL-EDP pedagogy and include 71.1% of the students regionally in Ohio, collectively they will clearly impact the way math and science curricula are delivered to meet new standards regionally.

该奖项为为期三年的标准奖提供资金，以支持辛辛那提大学（UC）的工程和计算机科学网站计划中的教师研究经验（RET），该计划名为“基于电子学习和工程设计过程（EDP）的加强研究经验的中学和高中在职教师”，在Anant Kukreti博士的指导下，工程外展主任，工程与应用科学学院。该提案为36名（每年12名）STEM在职中学和高中教师建立了一个RET网站，用于基于网络的学习（CBL）和工程设计过程（EDP）教学法。目标有三个方面：1）教育，培养和丰富科学和数学教师在课堂上的内容交付，通过探索工程设计和挑战7周在夏季。2)通过接受过工程内容和基于设计的教学培训的参与教师提供更好的教学和课程，提高7-12年级学生的科学和数学成绩，并激发对STEM职业的兴趣。3)支持参与的教师通过将他们的研究经验应用于课堂并有效地与同事沟通，成为榜样。RET网站建立在2个NSF RET网站，5个NSF REU网站和2个RET补充的成功基础上。这个RET网站扩大了当前辛辛那提工程增强数学和科学计划（CEEMS）的影响，这是一个NSF有针对性的数学科学伙伴关系（MSP）计划拨款，其中包括14个俄亥俄州学区，拥有73，392名学生和4，709名教师。该RET网站包括14个非CEEMS学区（12个在俄亥俄州，2个在肯塔基州），有72，546名学生和4，369名教师。 由于RET和CEEMS教师都使用CBL-EDP教学法开发和测试课程设计，教学技术和学生学习模式，并包括俄亥俄州地区71.1%的学生，他们将共同影响数学和科学课程的交付方式，以满足地区的新标准。
