Will you need a laptop at the workshop, or will you be bringing one? All workshops are hands-on.
Do you require accommodations at the workshop, or will you be commuting in each day?
Each participant in the Joule Fellows program receives a total stipend of $5,000, continuing educational units and a certificate of participation. The most important benefit, however, is the knowledge you will take back to your classroom. Our faculty members and grad students will work with you and your colleague to develop experimental setups and curriculum modules for your students that will both engage them and enrich their learning experiences.
To help post-elementary schools integrate elemental engineering into the classroom, we developed the da Vinci Project geared toward math, science and technology teachers of grades 5-12.
During the July 6 - 9 program, participants will spend an exciting week at the Storrs campus learning engineering fundamentals and developing practical curricula and exercises that will help them expose students to engineering. Participants will help select their focused workshop from one of the five areas of engineering specialization.
Participating teachers are very excited to go back to their classrooms and discuss how chemistry, physics, biology, and/or math knowledge and skills are integrated into solving challenging real-world problems... it's called engineering!

With a vision for the future, Texas State Technical College (TSTC) Waco developed the nation's first Laser Electro-Optics Technology (LET) program in 1969. Since that time, TSTC has continued to successfully train laser optics technicians for rewarding careers in the photonics industry and those industries enabled by photonics.
In an effort to increase awareness of this growing field, TSTC Waco is partnering with the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education (OP-TEC) to offer a Summer Institute in optics and photonics and its associated photonics-enabled applications. TSTC Waco currently serves as an OP-TEC college partner specializing in photonics and nanotechnology. OP-TEC is a National Science Foundation (NSF) National Center of Excellence headquartered in Waco.
TSTC’s Mission:
* Increase the number of students in the Laser Electro-Optics and Nanotechnology programs at TSTC Waco.
* Develop 4+2+2 career pathways for high school students in photonics-enabled technology education programs.
* Increase the number of graduates in these programs and employ them in a photonics career field.
To learn more about TSTC Waco, please click here.
OP-TEC’s Mission:
* Enhance optics and photonics education nationally.
* Increase the number of photonics-enabled associate degree programs nationally.
* Work with high schools and community and technical college faculty to increase the number of students entering the photonics-enabled programs.
* Create high school-to-community college “pipelines” of highly qualified and strongly motivated students.
* Increase the numbers of graduates from these programs in an effort to meet the urgent need for optics and photonics technicians.
To learn more about OP-TEC, please click here.
Participant Eligibility:
The Institute is open to teachers, counselors and students (grades 7-12). Students are selected based on an application. Teachers and counselors must submit an application containing information on their current job position, experience and interest in photonics and photonics-enabled technology fields.
Purpose:
The purpose for the Summer Institute is to provide students, teachers and counselors the opportunity to learn more about:
* the skills required to be successful in photonics-enabled careers;
* the career choices and applications of the photonics industry; and,
* the educational opportunities available through TSTC’s LET and Nanotechnology programs.
In addition, the Institute provides the unique opportunity for students, teachers and counselors to collaborate and interact in classroom and laboratory environments.
