This award provides funding for a three year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering and Computer Science Site program at North Carolina State University (NCSU) entitled, "Wearable Nanodevices, Linking Health and Environment: RET in Engineering and Computer Science Site", under the direction of Dr. Veena Misra. The NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center (NERC) for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST), led by NCSU's College of Engineering in partnership with three local school districts and NCSU's Kenan Fellows Program, will provide a total of 42 middle and high school STEM teachers (14 per year) with a 7-week summer engineering research experience focused on developing and employing nano-enabled energy harvesting, energy storage, nanodevices and sensors to create innovative battery-free, body-powered, and wearable systems that monitor both internal health indicators and environmental conditions. This project combines exceptional research experiences in NCSU's cutting-edge facilities with professional development to build teacher content knowledge and curriculum development and pedagogical skills. The program will build on the successful experiences of the ASSIST Center and individual mentors with RET teachers and the strength of the NCSU Kenan Fellows model for teacher research experiences developed through two previously funded RET Site programs. The project design includes experiences with ASSIST research mentors and will take place in exceptional nanofabrication and analytical instrumentation facilities. It incorporates teacher leadership development activities while also developing important pedagogical and instruction design skills. Participating teachers will create engaging and innovative activities based on wearable nanosensors to bring back to their classrooms. ASSIST is developing new technologies that will lead to a paradigm shift in health informatics by allowing doctors, patients, and scientists to correlate health indicators with environmental conditions to better predict, manage, and treat diseases. The wearable nanodevice research in this project will be exciting for K-12 STEM teachers and their students while facilitating integration of nanoscience and systems engineering concepts into their science curricula. This RET Site will attract underrepresented students, including minorities and females, to engineering by engaging teachers and their students in exciting research experiences linked to personal health topics and global health issues. Partner school districts serve high numbers of high needs and underrepresented in STEM students; they will ensure participation of teachers serving in some of the highest needs schools.

该奖项为北卡罗来纳州立大学（NCSU）（NCSU）的教师和计算机科学网站计划的教师（RET）提供了三年标准奖的资金，题为“可穿戴纳米纳克斯，链接健康和环境：计算机科学网站”，在Veena Misra博士的指导下。 NSF纳米系统工程研究中心（NERC），用于由NCSU的工程学院领导的综合传感器和技术系统（Assist），与三个当地学区合作，NCSU的Kenan Fellows计划合作，将提供42个中间和高中STEM老师（每年14个），为期7周的夏季工程研究经验，重点是开发和采用纳米启用的能源收集，储能，纳米电视和传感器，以创建无创新的电池，车身供电和可穿戴系统该监测内部健康指标和环境条件。该项目结合了NCSU的尖端设施中的杰出研究经验与专业发展，以建立教师内容知识和课程发展和教学技能。该计划将基于辅助中心的成功经验和与RET教师的个人导师的成功经验以及NCSU Kenan Fellows模型的实力，用于通过两个以前资助的RET网站计划开发的教师研究经验。项目设计包括辅助研究导师的经验，并将在卓越的纳米制作和分析仪器设施中进行。 它结合了教师领导力发展活动，同时还发展了重要的教学和教学设计技能。 参与的老师将根据可穿戴的纳米传感器创建引人入胜且创新的活动，以带回他们的教室。 Assist正在开发新技术，通过允许医生，患者和科学家将健康指标与环境状况相关联，以更好地预测，管理和治疗疾病，从而导致健康信息学的范式转移。 对于K-12 STEM教师及其学生来说，该项目的可穿戴纳米电视研究将令人兴奋，同时促进将纳米科学和系统工程概念整合到其科学课程中。 通过让教师及其学生参与与个人健康主题和全球健康问题相关的激动人心的研究经验，该RET网站将吸引人为不足的学生，包括少数民族和女性。合作伙伴学区服务于STEM学生的高需求，并且代表人数不足；他们将确保在某些最高需求学校中任职的教师的参与。
