The Interdisciplinary Additive Manufacturing Research Experience for Teachers (IAM-RET) Site at Colorado School of Mines (Mines) will prepare high school teachers to integrate additive manufacturing into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum. This 3-year project will work with 30 teachers, providing mentorship by Mines faculty and graduate student researchers and professional development opportunities. The experiences will provide teachers the knowledge and experience to educate high school students about the different career pathways and opportunities in industrial additive manufacturing. High school teachers will experience hands-on use of the industrial additive manufacturing equipment in the Mines laboratories that can fabricate many different types of materials such as plastics, ceramics, and metals for applications in many fields including medical, automotive, and aerospace. A pipeline of students highly qualified with industrial additive manufacturing knowledge will help strengthen American-based supply chain resilience and further advance American manufacturing global competitiveness.The Interdisciplinary Additive Manufacturing Research Experience for Teachers (IAM-RET) Site at Colorado School of Mines (Mines) will prepare high school teachers to integrate additive manufacturing into science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum. A major barrier towards implementation of additive manufacturing is a lack of qualified workforce with knowledge about the different industrial additive manufacturing processes. This knowledge requires working at the interface of many different interdisciplinary fields including manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and material science to perform accurate process and material selection for additive manufacturing applications. The IAM-RET site will introduce industrial metal, ceramic, and polymer additive manufacturing processes to high school teachers, who will develop curriculum educating their students on the same concepts, creating a significant impact on the integration of additive manufacturing into the 9-12 curriculum. The program will also include group professional development and curriculum development opportunities. Follow-up academic year engagement between the teachers, their students and Mines will include a design competition among participating high schools. Broad dissemination of the IAM-RET curriculum and results will enhance workforce development efforts and impact the additive manufacturing community nationwide. The experience will produce a lasting partnership among collaborating high schools, universities, and the local AM industry to produce a highly skilled workforce, poised to strengthen the Colorado additive manufacturing industry.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.

科罗拉多矿业学院 (矿业) 的跨学科增材制造教师研究体验 (IAM-RET) 站点将为高中教师做好准备，将增材制造融入科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 课程。这个为期 3 年的项目将与 30 名教师合作，提供矿业学院教师和研究生研究人员的指导以及专业发展机会。这些经验将为教师提供知识和经验，以教育高中生了解工业增材制造的不同职业道路和机会。高中教师将在矿业实验室亲身体验工业增材制造设备的使用，这些设备可以制造多种不同类型的材料，例如塑料、陶瓷和金属，用于医疗、汽车和航空航天等许多领域。一批掌握工业增材制造知识的高素质学生将有助于增强美国供应链的弹性，并进一步提高美国制造业的全球竞争力。科罗拉多矿业学院（矿业）的跨学科增材制造教师研究体验（IAM-RET）网站将为高中教师做好准备，将增材制造融入科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 课程。实施增材制造的一个主要障碍是缺乏了解不同工业增材制造工艺的合格劳动力。这些知识需要结合许多不同的跨学科领域（包括制造、机械工程和材料科学）来为增材制造应用执行准确的工艺和材料选择。 IAM-RET 网站将向高中教师介绍工业金属、陶瓷和聚合物增材制造工艺，他们将开发课程，向学生传授相同概念，从而对增材制造融入 9-12 年级课程产生重大影响。该计划还将包括团体专业发展和课程开发机会。教师、学生和矿山之间的后续学年参与将包括参与高中之间的设计竞赛。 IAM-RET 课程和成果的广泛传播将加强劳动力发展工作并影响全国的增材制造社区。这一经验将在高中、大学和当地增材制造行业之间建立持久的合作伙伴关系，以培养高技能的劳动力，为加强科罗拉多州增材制造行业做好准备。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过评估被认为值得支持利用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准。
