The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $205,020 Project Grant to the University of Dayton Research Institute Division. This 3-year grant, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports a Collaborative Research: Collaborative RET Site program titled "Teacher Power (Preparing Our Workforce Through Electronics and Research)".
The project engages K-12 in-service and pre-service teachers in the Southwestern Ohio region, working with them to develop the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to prepare a STEM workforce to advance electronics materials, packaging, and semiconductor (EMPS) industries. The participants will be guided through a structured STEM curriculum development experience, enabling them to write inquiry-based curriculum that includes engineering concepts and practices, aligned with national standards and employing inclusive pedagogy. The teachers will also participate in the Ohio Southwest Alliance on Semiconductors and Integrated Scalable-Manufacturing (OASIS) rapid certification program. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
