Texas A&M University will be hosting a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site this summer from June 13 to July 22, 2016. The six-week program in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Industrial Automation includes a research project with faculty members, a number of special topic presentations and site tours, and the opportunity to develop an instructional module related to the research participants will be engaging with throughout the process. Upon completion, participants will implement their instructional modules at their home institutions, assess learning outcomes, and attend a one-day workshop to present results, share materials, and evaluate the experience. While participants receive a weekly stipend during their stay at Texas A&M and a payment at the end of the program, travel expenses are not included. Both two-year college and high school faculty in robotics and automation, engineering design and presentation, mechatronics, biotechnology, programming, manufacturing, engineering mathematics, principles of technology, scientific research and design, and electronics are eligible for the program.
