This $411,199 National Science Foundation project grant supports the Research Experiences for Teachers program at Iowa State University from October 2021 through May 2023. The program aims to provide middle and high school STEM teachers from underserved populations hands-on research experiences in civil engineering focused on mitigating natural disasters. Teachers will work with faculty and graduate students over six weeks to gain technical proficiency in research areas like rapid infrastructure assessment after disasters and evacuation route modeling. They will also develop curriculum modules translating their research into classroom lessons. The program intends to inspire further student problem-solving related to natural disasters and increase STEM exposure for underrepresented students. This award falls under the NSF Directorate for Engineering's $47.041 million Engineering grant program supporting innovation and excellence in engineering research and education nationally.
