This award provides funding for a three year standard award for a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science Site Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) entitled, RET SITE: Milwaukee Regional Energy Education Initiative (MREEI), under the direction of Dr. David C. Yu. The rationale for the MREEI RET site is to train secondary teachers through fundamental energy-related research and translational activities that are tied to industry, and then leverage curricular approaches that allow them to directly transition this knowledge into highly inspirational STEM experiences for their students. The three engineering colleges in Milwaukee-the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Marquette University, and the Milwaukee School of Engineering-are partnering with regional industry and the Milwaukee Public School (MPS) system, to develop a collaborative RET Site focusing on the theme of energy. MREEI will annually engage 10 local mathematics and science high school teachers for six summer weeks in hands-on, cutting edge engineering research projects in energy-related fields. Energy was specifically chosen for the theme because it is a current topic of direct interest to students and teachers, it can be easily embedded into the high school science curriculum, and it is a core area of research for the three participating engineering schools and regional industry. Potential research topics for the RET participants include renewable and alternative energy, nano-scale sensor development, advanced materials, wind turbine blade design, and carbon capture and sequestration. As part of their scientific research projects, the teachers will be linked with real-world applications through collaborations with industry partners.MREEI will impact 30 teachers and 4500 students from high-need urban public high schools in the city of Milwaukee. More importantly, this proposal and its activities directly align with Milwaukee Public School systems new vision for science and mathematics and its Comprehensive Math and Science Plan (CMSP) which will be implemented during the 2011 academic year.

该奖项为威斯康星大学 - 米尔沃基分校（UWM）的工程和计算机科学网站计划的教师（RET）的研究经验提供了三年标准奖，题为“ RET，RET”网站：密尔沃基地区能源教育倡议（Mreei），Mreei（Mreei），Mreei）在大卫·C·尤（David C. Yu）博士的指导下。 Mreei Ret网站的基本原理是通过与行业相关的基本研究和翻译活动来培训二级教师，然后利用课程方法，使他们能够将这些知识直接过渡到为学生的高度鼓舞人心的STEM体验。 密尔沃基的三所工程学院 - 威斯康星大学 - 米尔沃基大学，马奎特大学和密尔沃基工程学院与地区工业和密尔沃基公立学校（MPS）系统合作，开发着一个合作的RET网站，专注于主题活力。 Mreei每年将与10个本地数学和科学高中教师合作六个夏季，在能源相关领域的动手实践，尖端的工程研究项目中。能源是专门选择该主题的，因为它是学生和老师的直接关注的当前主题，它可以很容易地嵌入到高中科学课程中，并且是三个参与工程学校和地区行业的研究核心领域。 RET参与者的潜在研究主题包括可再生能源和替代能源，纳米级传感器开发，高级材料，风力涡轮机叶片设计以及碳捕获和隔离。 作为其科学研究项目的一部分，教师将通过与行业合作伙伴的合作与现实世界的应用联系。Mreei将影响密尔沃基市高需求城市公立高中的30名教师和4500名学生。 更重要的是，该提案及其活动直接与密尔沃基公立学校系统有关科学和数学的新愿景及其全面的数学和科学计划（CMSP），该愿景将在2011年学年实施。
