The Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) will engage high school (HS) and community college (CC) educators in cutting edge hands-on research experiences in Advanced Manufacturing/Robotics. This training program will enhance educators’ knowledge and skills in the stated domain. The educators will return to their institutions, develop advanced manufacturing curriculum modules, and enhance the interest of their students. The U.S. Midwest is known as the heartland of U.S. manufacturing. Today’s manufacturing is quite different from traditional manufacturing and it relies heavily on automated and integrated systems. Traditional manufacturing skills are no match to those advanced manufacturing/robotics skills. This RET project provides a platform for researchers and educators to investigate new research opportunities to fill the existing skills gap in advanced manufacturing. The participating educators will translate their research experiences and knowledge into classroom practice. This comprehensive and unique experience will play a transformational role in preparing future leaders in the emerging areas of advanced manufacturing/robotics within the U.S. Midwest region.The primary objective of the Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) is to play a transformational role in preparing future leaders in advanced manufacturing by instilling advanced manufacturing/robotics research experience within STEM educators through six-week summer workshops dedicated to hands-on research experiences. The summer workshops will focus on research activities in emerging areas of advanced manufacturing including modern sensors and actuators, advanced robot programming, CNC programming, CAD/CAM, 3D printing, and e-factory. This RET project will strategically engage 18 HS and 18 CC educators from regional HSs and CCs in research experiences. Through targeted recruitment, the project plans to engage 18 female and minority STEM educators representing minority and economically disadvantaged school districts, impacting more than 6,400 STEM students at local high schools and community colleges. This project cements the partnership among BGSU, local high schools, and community colleges to address the common need of producing STEM graduates in advanced manufacturing area. This project will (a) explore a sustainable educational model that connects high schools, community colleges, university, and industry; (b) improve the existing pathways and implement new pathways, expanding opportunities for STEM students, focusing on women and minorities; and c) play a transformational role in preparing future leaders in advanced manufacturing.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

鲍林绿色州立大学（BGSU）的教师（RET）网站的研究经验将与高级生产/机器人技术的尖端动手研究经验与高中和社区学院（CC）教育工作者互动。该培训计划将增强教育工作者在陈述领域的知识和技能。教育者将返回其机构，开发先进的制造课程模块，并增强学生的兴趣。美国中西部被称为美国制造业的心脏地带。当今的制造业与传统制造业完全不同，它在很大程度上依赖自动化和集成的系统。传统的制造技能与那些先进的制造/机器人技能不匹配。该RET项目为研究人员和教育工作者提供了一个平台，以调查新的研究机会，以填补高级制造业中现有的技能差距。参与的教育者将把他们的研究经验和知识转化为课堂实践。这种全面而独特的经验将在美国中西部地区高级制造/机器人技术的新兴领域的未来领导者准备中发挥变革作用。鲍林绿色州立大学（BGSU）的教师研究经验（RET）的主要目标是通过在高级研究中培养六周的酿造体验，以扮演未来的夏季研究，以扮演六周的培训工作，从而发挥着变革性的作用。经验。夏季研讨会将重点关注高级制造业新兴领域的研究活动，包括现代传感器和执行器，高级机器人编程，CNC编程，CAD/CAM，3D打印和电子产品。该RET项目将在研究经验中战略性地参与来自区域HSS和CCS的18名CC教育者。通过有针对性的招聘，该项目计划与代表少数族裔和经济弱势学区的18名女性和少数族裔STEM教育者互动，影响当地高中和社区学院的6,400多名STEM学生。该项目巩固了BGSU，当地高中和社区大学之间的合作伙伴关系，以满足在高级制造区生产STEM毕业生的共同需求。该项目将（a）探索将高中，社区学院，大学和行业联系起来的可持续教育模式； （b）改善现有途径并实施新的途径，扩大STEM学生的机会，专注于妇女和少数民族； c）在准备高级制造业的未来领导者方面发挥了变革作用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准，通过评估诚实地支持了支持。
