This award provides funding for a new collaborative Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site focused on Signal and Image Processing at the University of Central Florida and Florida Institute of Technology. Each year 13 high school teachers from school districts in four Central Florida counties will participate in research projects at the universities. The teachers will also develop modules related to their research which they will implement in their classes in the following school year. The teachers will organize annual science events to share their work with the communities around their schools and they will participate in the Florida Science Olympiad. Through participation in the RET Site the teachers will have an enhanced knowledge base in engineering and computer science and the skills to translate this into their classroom practices, thus impacting their students and motivating them towards science, technology, computing, and engineering disciplines.The intellectual merit of this project revolves around the expertise of the research team and outstanding research environment in which the teachers will work. The research projects are compelling and are in areas that are of current interest. The broader impacts of this project include substantial impact on the area schools and dissemination to a broad community. Teachers will incorporate new computing and engineering topics into their classes and develop hands-on ways to impart these topics to secondary students. The teachers will also engage in public outreach to convey the concepts and appreciation of computer science and engineering to the public. Through this project, a long-term relationship between the university and the schools will be forged and cemented. The partners will work together to build a foundation of outstanding computing and engineering education in the region.

该奖项为中佛罗里达大学和佛罗里达理工学院新的教师合作研究体验 (RET) 网站提供资金，该网站专注于信号和图像处理。 每年，来自佛罗里达州中部四个县学区的 13 名高中教师将参加大学的研究项目。 教师还将开发与其研究相关的模块，并将在下一学年在课堂上实施。 教师们将组织年度科学活动，与学校周围的社区分享他们的工作，他们还将参加佛罗里达科学奥林匹克竞赛。 通过参与 RET 网站，教师将增强工程和计算机科学方面的知识基础，并具备将这些知识转化为课堂实践的技能，从而影响学生并激励他们学习科学、技术、计算和工程学科。该项目的优点在于研究团队的专业知识和教师工作的出色研究环境。 这些研究项目引人注目，并且属于当前感兴趣的领域。该项目的更广泛影响包括对该地区学校的重大影响以及向广泛社区的传播。教师将把新的计算和工程主题融入到课堂中，并开发实践方法将这些主题传授给中学生。 教师还将参与公共宣传活动，向公众传达计算机科学与工程的概念和欣赏。 通过这个项目，大学和学校之间的长期关系将得到建立和巩固。合作伙伴将共同努力，为该地区优秀的计算机和工程教育奠定基础。
