The goals of the E3 Teacher Summer Research Program are to:
•offer teachers experiences with the latest in engineering research;
•offer an experience that integrates math and the sciences;
•enhance laboratory skills and techniques;
•reinforce educational research in inquiry, learning styles and diversity; and
•excite public school teachers about careers in engineering to support the study of math and science.
These goals will be achieved through three major components:
•matching the public school teacher with a faculty/researcher in engineering;
•a daily discussion time with educational specialties to help in the transfer of engineering research into math / science curriculum; and
•science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) career awareness through field trips and discussions.
