This award provides funding for a 3 year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at Oklahoma State University (OSU), in the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT) and the College of Education (CoE) entitled, "RET Site: Transitioning Engineering Research to Middle Schools (TERMS)", under the direction of Dr. Karen A. High.This Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site involves a total of 21, 6th-9th grade teachers from three local public school districts, 7 each year for three years, and two REU students per year in combined research and K-12 content development. The program consists of pre-visit preparation, a six week summer research experience for the teachers, a twelve week summer research experience for the REU students and follow up academic interactions between RET teachers, OSU faculty, REU students, and middle school students. The project's intellectual and educational focus is on how engineers understand, design, fabricate, and test materials and structures engineered so collective interactions give rise to unique properties. TERMS will recruit participating teachers from low income, rural, and Native American communities.

该奖项为为期 3 年的持续奖励提供资金，以支持俄克拉荷马州立大学 (OSU)、工程、建筑与技术学院 (CEAT) 和教育学院 (CEAT) 的工程现场教师研究经验 (RET) 项目。 CoE）题为“RET 站点：将工程研究过渡到中学（TERMS）”，在 Karen A. High 博士的指导下。工程站点教师研究经验（RET）总共涉及 21 个、来自当地三个公立学区的 6 至 9 年级教师，三年内每年 7 名，每年有 2 名 REU 学生参与联合研究和 K-12 内容开发。 该计划包括访问前的准备、教师为期六周的夏季研究体验、REU 学生的十二周夏季研究体验以及 RET 教师、OSU 教师、REU 学生和中学生之间的后续学术互动。该项目的智力和教育重点是工程师如何理解、设计、制造和测试材料和结构，以便集体相互作用产生独特的性能。 TERMS 将招募来自低收入、农村和美洲原住民社区的参与教师。
