We are pleased to invite you to apply for the University of Oklahoma College of Engineering Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Program: Strengthening a K12 Learning Community through Engineering Research. Our program is funded by the National Science Foundation as part of their commitment to building the workforce in science and engineering. You, as teachers, are critical in the decisions students make about their future careers. The RET is a six-week on-site summer program, starting June 11, 2012 and ending July 20, 2012. This is the fifth year of our program. Over the past years, we have had the privilege of working with 57 teachers teaching math and science courses from 40 schools across the state.
The RET provides high-school math and science teachers the opportunity to actively work with OU engineering faculty on engineering research. You will use this hands-on experience to develop authentic inquiry-based math and/or science curriculum that you will implement during the 2012-2013 academic year. The RET provides a total stipend of $4000 for participation in the year-long program. Nominal travel funds are available to those with demonstrated need.
For specific information on the RET program, including possible engineering research topics, summer workshops, and lesson plans previously developed, please visit our RET website at

Attached is the program flyer and application. We hope you consider participating. Please forward this announcement to other teachers who may be interested in the program. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Chen Ling at chenling@ou.edu or 405.996.8453 (phone), 405.325.7555(fax).
