This award renews an exemplary Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site on smart sensors and sensing systems at Michigan State University (MSU). The RET Site will continue to develop a strong partnership between MSU and schools in the greater Lansing/mid-Michigan area to advance pre-college science and engineering education by training a cadre of leaders of middle and high school teachers in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The RET site will expose teachers to leading engineering and computing research spanning biological and chemical sensors, robotics sensors, human-computer interaction, microelectronic sensing circuitry and networks, energy and automotive engines, high performance computing for nuclear science, and sensing materials and manufacturing techniques, and will connect them to the profound changes that sensors and sensing technologies are having on the daily lives and the quality of life of all citizens. The interdisciplinary nature of the research theme will provide a fertile ground for developing creative and appealing middle and high school lessons and teaching activities in biology, physics, chemistry, and technology that align with state and national curricular standards.
