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现场项目的教师研究经验（RET）提供了为期三年的标准奖项，名为“RET：研究、创新和多尺度工程的合作伙伴关系（PRIME）”，由Baratunde Cola博士和Jamila Cola博士指导。PRIME RET网站是工程学院（机械、化学和生物医学工程）的教师、佐治亚理工学院综合科学、数学和计算教育中心（CEISMC）的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的合作项目。PRIME RET网站将让48名STEM初中和高中教师（每年16名，为期3年）与佐治亚理工学院的工程教师一起进行为期7周的指导研究体验。PRIME RET网站将通过开发和分享基于前沿工程研究的艺术注入工程课程计划，提高工程素养，提高对工程领域核心基础科学和数学原理的理解。周六的后续会议和一个维基网站将允许教师完善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课程计划，特别是在STEM领域中代表性不足的少数民族和女性。PRIME RET的参与者将制定与艺术相结合的工程课程计划，探索和建立各种思维习惯，这些习惯在工程作为一种职业中很重要。这些引人入胜的课程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缺乏代表性的少数民族学生。在三年的时间里，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、讲习班和网站传播。

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.
