The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded the University of Texas at Arlington $599,886 on December 1, 2026, to operate a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches for sustainable and resilient infrastructure in urban communities under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The RET Site will engage nine high school STEM teachers from eight school districts in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area—Arlington, Duncanville, Everman, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Irving, Kennedale, and Mansfield—in six-week summer research programs over three years. Teachers will partner with faculty mentors, graduate students, and academic and industrial mentors to advance knowledge across engineering disciplines (civil, industrial, electrical, and mechanical), education and assessment, and sustainable and resilient urban infrastructure through four concurrent summer research projects. The program aims to develop teachers' capabilities in integrating engineering topics into their courses and will support them in transferring research findings into classroom curricula and sharing their work with non-participant teachers through workshops and conferences to enhance professional development and communication skills. Place of performance is Arlington, Texas. The period of performance runs from December 1, 2026, through November 30, 2029.
