The Renewable Energy Systems Opportunity for Unified Research Collaboration and Education (RESOURCE) program will provide two-year fellowships to 25 PhD students in engineering disciplines over a five-year project. The intellectual theme for the project will be on the development of sustainable, energy efficient renewable energy technologies including solar, wind and biofuels. Graduate fellows will partner with 50 sixth grade school teachers to create innovative curriculum and educational tools that promote interest in renewable energy technologies and associated STEM disciplines. Fellows and teachers will collaborate on communicating STEM subjects to technical and non-technical audiences, leadership, team building, and teaching. This will enrich the communication of fellows? research and will also improve their ability to communicate to different educational communities including those from different cultural backgrounds.The intellectual merit of the project is that it will create the model for a new approach to educating engineering graduate students, while helping GK-12 teachers develop the awareness of the university as a source of new content for renewable energy classroom lessons and laboratory experiments. It is anticipated that several of the training elements developed through this program will be incorporated as an integral part of other STEM graduate programs at UC Davis and research universities across the nation. The broader impact of the project is that it directly addresses the national policy imperative to increase the participation of US citizens, particularly women and underrepresented minorities, in engineering studies and careers. Overall, RESOURCE will enhance the pedagogical impact of graduate education to society.

统一研究合作与教育计划的可再生能源系统机会（Resource）计划将为25名在五年项目的工程学科中提供两年的奖学金。该项目的智力主题将取决于开发可持续的，节能的可再生能源技术，包括太阳能，风能和生物燃料。研究生研究员将与50个第六年级的教师合作，以创建创新的课程和教育工具，以促进对可再生能源技术和相关STEM学科的兴趣。研究员和老师将合作将STEM受试者与技术和非技术受众，领导力，团队建设和教学进行交流。这会丰富研究员的交流吗？研究，还将提高他们与不同教育社区（包括来自不同文化背景的教育社区）进行交流的能力。该项目的智力优点是，它将为教育工程研究生的新方法创建模型，同时帮助GK-12教师发展对大学的认识，以作为可再生能源课堂课程和实验室实验的新内容来源。 预计通过该计划开发的几个培训要素将被纳入加州大学戴维斯分校其他STEM研究生课程的组成部分，以及全国各地的研究型大学。 该项目的更广泛的影响是，它直接解决了增加美国公民的参与，尤其是妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，从事工程研究和职业。 总体而言，资源将增强研究生教育对社会的教学影响。
