RET Site: Enrichment Experience in Engineering (E3) for Teachers Summer Research Program

该奖项提供资金，为期三年的持续奖励，以支持研究经验的教师（RET）网站程序在得克萨斯州A M大学（TAMU）题为“丰富的工程经验（E3）教师暑期研究”，博士的指导下。 这个更新项目将继续匹配10个在职和2个兼职，8-12年级的数学和科学教师，每年夏天与工程研究人员在TAMU三年。 为了实现教师参与工程研究的目标，该计划有三个主要目标：1）提供工程研究经验，提高对工程本质的理解; 2）支架教师发展真实的探究活动; 3）提高公立学校教师对工程职业的认识。

This award provides funding for a three year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site program at Texas A&M University (TAMU) entitled, "Enrichment Experiences in Engineering (E3) for Teachers Summer Research," under the direction of Dr. Karen Butler-Purry. This renewal project will continue to match 10 inservice and 2 preservice, 8-12 grade math and science teachers each summer for three years with engineering researchers at TAMU. To accomplish the goal of involving teachers in engineering research the program has three major objectives: 1) provide engineering research experiences and enhance understanding of the nature of engineering; 2) scaffold teacher development of authentic inquiry activities; and 3) improve public school teachers' knowledge about careers in engineering.
