This Research Experience for Teachers (RET) focuses on international engineering research based on human-centered design and appropriate technology for developing countries. This RET site is a collaborative effort between the University of Dayton (UD) and Central State University (CSU) that will engage both in-service and pre-service teachers with hands-on research experiences with both domestic and international community partners. Participants will engage in a transformative, twelve month experience with five distinct components: (1) Intercultural competence and travel preparation; (2) Appropriate technology related research and/or human-centered design with a faculty member at UD or CSU who supports the work of an international community partner; (3) On-site work at the international community partner's facility; (4) Two-week intensive curriculum development with the participant cohort under the guidance of a curriculum coach; and (5) Follow-on programming that includes continued research with a faculty member, piloting, revising, and final submission of curriculum to TeachEngineering or for sharing with other college faculty on CSU's and UD's websites. This RET site will provide a transformational experience for teachers that they will be able to bring into their curriculum and classroom. This program will help develop intercultural competence in participants and facilitate an understanding of engineering impact in a global context. Through this unique program, participants will experience personal growth through cultural immersion, and participate in creating and designing engineering solutions to address specific social concerns. As a result of their experiences, they will create highly integrated STEM curriculum that includes geography, history, political science, and culture that incorporates best practices for attracting underrepresented populations to engineering.This Research Experience for Teachers emphasizes international engineering research thematically focused on human-centered design and appropriate technology for developing countries. This a collaborative RET between the University of Dayton (UD) and Central State University (CSU) with an emphasis. This three year project will engage 36 G6-12 in-service and pre-service teachers in a variety of engineering research opportunities through UDs ETHOS (Engineers in Technical Humanitarian Opportunities for Service Learning) Center. In the fall of each year, 12 teachers will be recruited into the year-long research program which includes 2 months of on-site summer work and an additional 2.5 months of programming throughout the year. From January to April, teachers will participate in a series of orientation activities where they will meet their faculty mentors, be introduced to their research projects that connect to UD's ETHOS center, learn about appropriate technology and human-centered design, travel safety and the community to which they will be traveling. The ETHOS Center, which has provided service-learning experiences through technical immersions for more than 15 years, will coordinate participant travel. Prior to their international immersion, the teachers will engage in research with their faculty mentor part time during the school year. Throughout June and July, teachers will conduct campus-based research as well as engage in a related project with an international partner in a 2-4 week international placement. Upon their return, they will continue to engage with this project and their international partners using institutional research facilities and virtual communication technology. Teachers will participate in an intensive, affinity structured and team-based curriculum development program for two weeks, where they will develop lessons using the TeachEngineering format under the guidance of a curriculum coach. The follow-up program will include lesson piloting and publishing, continued research, ETHOS retreat and closing presentation and celebration. Lessons will be piloted, edited and published during the fall.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

教师研究经验（RET）侧重于基于以人为本的设计和发展中国家的适当技术的国际工程研究。这个可再生能源技术网站是代顿大学（UD）和中央州立大学（CSU）之间的合作努力，将从事在职和职前教师与国内和国际社区合作伙伴的实践研究经验。参与者将参与为期12个月的变革性体验，其中包括五个不同的组成部分：（1）跨文化能力和旅行准备;（2）与UD或CSU的教职员工一起进行适当的技术相关研究和/或以人为本的设计，以支持国际社区合作伙伴的工作;（3）在国际社区合作伙伴的设施中进行现场工作;（4）在课程教练的指导下，与参与者群体进行为期两周的强化课程开发;以及（5）后续编程，包括与教师继续研究，试点，修改和最终提交课程到TeachEngineering或与CSU和UD网站上的其他大学教师分享。这个可再生能源网站将为教师提供一个转型的经验，他们将能够把他们的课程和课堂。该计划将有助于培养参与者的跨文化能力，并促进对全球范围内工程影响的理解。通过这个独特的计划，参与者将通过文化沉浸体验个人成长，并参与创建和设计工程解决方案，以解决特定的社会问题。根据他们的经验，他们将创建高度综合的STEM课程，包括地理，历史，政治学和文化，并结合最佳实践，以吸引代表性不足的人口到工程。这个教师研究经验强调国际工程研究主题，以人为本的设计和适合发展中国家的技术为重点。这是代顿大学（UD）和中央州立大学（CSU）之间的合作可再生能源技术，重点是。这个为期三年的项目将通过UDs ETHOS（服务学习技术人道主义机会工程师）中心，吸引36名G6-12在职和职前教师参与各种工程研究机会。在每年的秋天，12名教师将被招募到为期一年的研究计划，其中包括2个月的现场暑期工作和全年额外的2.5个月的编程。从1月到4月，教师将参加一系列的迎新活动，他们将会见他们的教师导师，介绍他们的研究项目，连接到UD的ETHOS中心，了解适当的技术和以人为本的设计，旅行安全和他们将前往的社区。ETHOS中心通过技术沉浸提供服务学习经验超过15年，将协调参与者的旅行。在他们的国际沉浸之前，教师将在学年期间与他们的教师导师兼职进行研究。在整个6月和7月，教师将进行基于校园的研究，并在2-4周的国际实习中与国际合作伙伴一起参与相关项目。他们回国后将继续利用机构研究设施和虚拟通信技术与该项目及其国际伙伴进行接触。教师将参加为期两周的密集，亲和结构和基于团队的课程开发计划，在那里他们将在课程教练的指导下使用TeachEngineering格式开发课程。后续计划将包括课程试点和出版，继续研究，ETHOS务虚会和闭幕演讲和庆祝活动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
