RET Site: Rutgers University Research Experience for Teachers in Engineering (RU RET-E)

该奖项为一个为期三年的标准奖项提供资金，以支持罗格斯大学工程现场项目的教师研究经验（RET），名为“RET现场：罗格斯大学工程教师研究经验（RU RET- e）”，由Kimberly Cook-Chennault博士指导。这个工程网站的RET旨在：1)在夏季期间，让总共24名在职和在职的初中和高中数学和科学教师参与创新的“绿色”工程研究；2)支持教师利用他们的研究经验，将工程创新整合到他们的学年，大学预科的课堂中。该项目将建立当地地区学校和罗格斯大学工程学院之间的长期合作关系。这一合作伙伴关系将把工程教育注入初中和高中课程，并为在职教师提供丰富的经验。开发的课程将是跨学科的，符合新泽西州的标准，呈现给更多的教育工作者，并可在万维网上下载。教学策略和课程计划将通过学年研讨会传播给非ru RET-E参与者，以产生更大的影响。

This award provides funding for a three year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at Rutgers University entitled, "RET Site: Rutgers University Research Experience for Teachers in Engineering (RU RET-E)", under the direction of Dr. Kimberly Cook-Chennault.This RET in Engineering Site aims to: 1) engage a total of 24 pre- and in-service middle and high school mathematics and science teachers in innovative "green" engineering research during the summer, and 2) support teachers as they leverage their research experience by integrating engineering innovation into their academic year, pre-college classrooms. This project will build a long-term collaborative relationship between local district schools and the Rutgers University School of Engineering. This partnership will infuse engineering education into the middle and high school curriculum and provide an enriching experience for pre- and in-service teachers. The lessons developed will be interdisciplinary, meet New Jersey State Standards, presented to a larger group of educators, and be available for download on the World Wide Web. Teaching strategies and lesson plans will be disseminated to non-RU RET-E participants for greater impact via an academic year workshop.
