RET: Partnerships for Research, Innovation, and Multi-Scale Engineering (PRIME)

该奖项为佐治亚理工学院工程和计算机科学教师研究经验(RET)项目提供资金，该项目由Baratunde Cola博士和Jamila Cola博士指导，名为“RET：研究、创新和多尺度工程(PRIME)的伙伴关系”。RET网站是工程学院(机械、化学和生物医学工程)教职员工、佐治亚理工学院科学、数学和计算(CEISMC)教育中心K-12外展专家、克莱顿和罗克代尔县学区、K-12教育工作者和艺术顾问之间的合作。Prime RET网站将让48名STEM初中和高中教师(为期3年，每年16名)与佐治亚理工学院的工程学教师一起进行为期7周的指导研究体验。Prime RET网站将通过开发和共享基于多个长度范围的尖端工程研究的充满艺术的工程课程计划，提高工程素养，并提高对工程领域核心的基础科学和数学原理的理解。周六的后续课程和一个维基网站将允许教师完善和分享他们的教案，并与其他对吸引和留住学生感兴趣的科学和数学教师分享他们的教案，特别是STEM领域中代表性不足的少数族裔和女性。PRIME RET参与者将制定艺术整合的工程学教案，探索和建立各种思维习惯，这些习惯在工程专业中很重要。这些引人入胜的教学计划将培养学生和教师的创造力文化，并吸引亚特兰大日益增长的代表不足的少数族裔学生。在三年的课程中，将开发和完善48个艺术工程课程计划，以激发和吸引学生参与多尺度工程。这些材料将通过会议讲习班和网站散发。

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 Georgia Institute of Technology entitled, "RET: Partnerships for Research, Innovation, and Multi-Scale Engineering (PRIME)", under the direction of Dr. Baratunde Cola and Dr. Jamila Cola.The PRIME RET site is a collaboration between faculty in the College of Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, and Biomedical Engineering), K-12 outreach specialists at Georgia Tech's Center for Education Integrating Science Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC), Clayton and Rockdale County School Districts, K-12 educators, and Art Consultants. The PRIME RET site will immerse 48 STEM middle and high school teachers (16 per year for 3 years) in a 7-week mentored research experience with engineering faculty at Georgia Tech. The PRIME RET site will increase engineering literacy and improve understanding of fundamental science and math principles central to the engineering domain by developing and sharing art-infused engineering lesson plans based on cutting-edge engineering research across multiple length scales. Saturday follow-up sessions, and a wiki site, will allow teachers to refine and share their lesson plans with other science and math teachers interested in attracting and retaining students, especially underrepresented minorities and women in STEM fields.PRIME RET participants will develop art-integrated engineering lesson plans that will explore and build various habits of mind that are important in engineering as a profession. These engaging lesson plans will foster a student and teacher culture of creativity and engage the growing underrepresented minority student population in Atlanta. Over the course of three years, 48 arts-engineering lesson plans will be developed and refined to excite and engage students with multi-scale engineering. These materials will be disseminated through conference workshops and websites.
