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.

High.This Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site involves a total of来自三个当地公立学区的21岁，6至9年级的教师，每年有7个，持续三年，每年有两个REU学生在研究和K-12内容开发中进行。 该计划包括访问前的准备，为教师提供六周的夏季研究经验，为REU学生提供的十二周夏季研究经验，并跟进RET老师，OSU教师，REU学生和中学生之间的学术互动。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设计，因此集体互动产生了独特的特性。 条款将招募来自低收入，农村和美洲原住民社区的参与教师。
