PI Name: Kam Leang Institution Name: University of Nevada Reno Proposal Title: The NSF GK-12 E-Fellowship Program: Toward Energy-Aware STEM Leaders for the 21st Century Proposal ID: 1045584The ?E? in the E-Fellowship Program stands for energy, the program?s main theme (graduate research fellows are referred to as ?E-Fellows?). The goal is to prepare E-Fellows to become future STEM leaders in the field of energy and be ?energy aware?. To do so, E-Fellows will be partnered with middle and high school teachers across four schools in the Washoe County School District (WCSD) to bring their STEM energy-related research into K-12 classrooms via inquiry- and project-based activities. Research topics include energy harvesting using smart materials, nanomaterials for photovoltaics, hydrogen energy and storage, biomass and biofuels, geothermal, wind energy, and efficient power grid systems. By involving local Nevada energy industries (e.g., NV Energy and Ormat Nevada), this program will strengthen the relationship between UNR, the WCSD, and the local and regional community. In addition to pedagogical and instructional training, E-Fellows will benefit from strengthened leadership, communication, teaching, grantsmanship, budgeting, time management, team building, and professional service skills to help prepare them for academic and/or industry duties after graduation. Teachers will benefit from participation through earning graduate professional development credits, development of exciting new curricula, and forging of strong university ties. Field trips (including international trips) will strengthen content knowledge and help build camaraderie among the participants and will provide energy-related local connections that can be used in the classroom. A traveling energy science/technology lab, the E-Mobile, will be outfitted with energy-related demonstrations and hands-on projects (some created by fellow/teacher partners and students) to support energy demonstrations and exhibits to excite students and the community.

PI 姓名：Kam Leang 机构名称：内华达大学里诺分校 提案标题：NSF GK-12 E 奖学金计划：迈向 21 世纪具有能源意识的 STEM 领导者 提案 ID：1045584The ?E? E-Fellowship 计划中的 代表能源，该计划的主题（研究生研究员被称为“E-Fellows”）。目标是让 E-Fellows 做好准备，成为能源领域未来的 STEM 领导者并具有“能源意识”。为此，E-Fellows 将与瓦肖县学区 (WCSD) 四所学校的初中和高中教师合作，通过基于探究和项目的活动将他们的 STEM 能源相关研究带入 K-12 课堂。研究主题包括使用智能材料收集能量、光伏纳米材料、氢能和存储、生物质和生物燃料、地热能、风能和高效电网系统。通过让内华达当地能源行业（例如 NV Energy 和 Ormat Nevada）参与进来，该计划将加强 UNR、WCSD 以及当地和区域社区之间的关系。除了教学和教学培训外，电子研究员还将受益于加强的领导力、沟通、教学、资助、预算、时间管理、团队建设和专业服务技能，以帮助他们为毕业后的学术和/或行业职责做好准备。教师将通过获得研究生专业发展学分、开发令人兴奋的新课程以及建立牢固的大学联系而从参与中受益。 实地考察（包括国际旅行）将加强内容知识并有助于在参与者之间建立友情，并将提供可在课堂上使用的与能源相关的当地联系。移动能源科学/技术实验室 E-Mobile 将配备与能源相关的演示和实践项目（其中一些由同事/教师合作伙伴和学生创建），以支持能源演示和展览，以激发学生和社区的兴趣。
