项目摘要

This award provides funding for a three year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison entitled, "RET Site: Cross-Cultural Connections: An RET Site Program with UPRM and the UW", under the direction of Dr. Juan J. De Pablo. The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) on Nanostructured Interfaces and the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM) Center of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) on Biomedical and Energy-Driven Systems and Applications will collaborate to offer their local K-12 teachers the opportunity to learn about cutting edge research in nanoscale science and engineering (NSE) and materials science and engineering (MSE) and to create classroom educational materials based upon that research. This RET in Engineering program at UW and UPRM will provide a total of 23 K-12 teachers over a three year period, an opportunity to participate in a six week summer research and professional development experience with additional responsibilities and activities during the academic year to build upon the summer experience. As RET Fellows, the teachers will work with UW MRSEC and UPRM CREST faculty, postdoctoral associates, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students to conduct research in NSE/MSE and to develop related curriculum. A highlight of this program will be the capstone exchange week, during which the RET teachers and project team will go to UW or UPRM for a week long exchange between the RET Fellows of their RET experiences, research, posters, and curriculum materials; their schools and cultures of K-12 education; and their host universities.

该奖项为三年标准奖提供了资金，以支持威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的工程站点计划的教师研究经验，题为“ RET网站：跨文化联系：与UPRM和UW的RET网站”，在Juan J. de Pablo博士的指导下。威斯康星大学 - 麦迪逊分校（UW）材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）关于纳米结构的界面以及波多黎各大学的科学技术研究中心（UPRM）科学技术卓越研究中心（CREST）生物医学和能源驱动的系统和应用程序将为当地的材料提供帮助，以供他们当地的材料和学习的材料（以供他们的K-12教学），以培训NAN，以了解其机构和学习的机会，以了解纽约市的机会，以了解纽约市的NITSERICER，以了解群众的机会，以了解纽约市的社会范围（Sece inse of Edge）。和工程（MSE），并根据该研究创建课堂教育材料。 UW和UPRM的工程课程将在三年内提供总共23个K-12教师，这是参加六个星期的夏季研究和专业发展经验的机会，并在学年中具有额外的责任和活动，以建立夏季的经验。作为RET研究员，教师将与UW MRSEC和UPRM Crest教师，博士后伙伴，员工，研究生和本科生一起在NSE/MSE进行研究并开发相关课程。该计划的亮点将是Capstone Exchange周，在此期间，RET教师和项目团队将在其RET经验，研究，海报和课程材料的Ret Fellows之间前往UW或UPRM进行一周的交流；他们的学校和K-12教育文化；和他们的托管大学。
