“…The results from this RET program were disseminated through journal [16] and conference presentations and proceedings (e.g. ASEE, ASME, DESS conferences) [11,[16][17][18][19][20], professional development sessions, and TeachEngineering digital library [13][14][15]. Several participating teachers also attended conferences and presented their work [21,22].…”

is the Associate Dean for Faculty and Staff Development in the school of engineering and associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Dayton. She teaches undergraduate and graduate materials related courses including Introduction to Materials, Materials Laboratory, Engineering Innovation, Biomaterials and Engineering Design and Appropriate Technology (ETHOS). She was director of the (Engineers in Technical Humanitarian Opportunities of Service-Learning) for approximately ten years. She has incorporated service-learning projects into her classes and laboratories since she started teaching in 2000. Her research interests include community engaged learning and pedagogy, K-12 outreach, biomaterials and materials testing and analysis.

“…5,6 The second summer cohort introduced 6 college students to the teaming of 6 new pre-service and an additional 12 in-service teachers majoring or teaching in STEM disciplines, respectively, in the Dayton, Ohio area providing 6 weeks of manufacturing and materials science experiences. This teaming of six groups included two in-service teachers, one pre-service teacher, one college student mentor and one faculty mentor.…”

Three regional institutions of higher learning are entering into their third year of a grant funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) which provides authentic research experiences in materials and manufacturing for community-based teams comprised of STEM educators from urban, rural and underrepresented school districts as well as undergraduate and graduate students majoring in STEM disciplines and STEM education. The assimilated teams worked collaboratively with program principal investigators, research faculty mentors, STEM curriculum experts and evaluators to engage in real-world research activities related to the manufacturing of materials from natural products, medicinal plants as well as the scaled-up additive manufacturing of three-dimensional components for various industrial applications. This successful model of collaborative community engagement actively partners with local manufacturers involved in forging and heat treating of materials, the high-tech fields of medicinal and aerospace materials, state of the art printing of three-dimensional objects as well as conventional sheet fed print media. Essential components of engineering design from the team research experiences are incorporated into the Teach Engineering transformative STEM curriculum for implementation in the classroom to foster greater interest among students in pursuing careers in STEM disciplines, especially among female and minority learners. Multi-faceted STEM curriculum placing greater emphasis on critical thinking and engineering design skills that match current materials and manufacturing trends is a prescription essential to man (woman) power transformation. Team reflections support program revisions which include civic minded components of research ethics and engineering for the good of society, as well as the benefits of community-based learning teams for workforce development of the next generation of STEM professionals. IntroductionAdvanced manufacturing and materials science education is directly related to pre-college engineering education in that it involves the implementation and integration of new technology to improve products and/or processes, with the relevant technology described as 'advanced,' 'innovative,' or 'cutting edge', into innovative teaching strategies and robust learning materials.1,2 A major constraint to the implementation and integration of new and emerging topics in manufacturing education is that in order for it to be sustainable engineers and scientists are required to develop novel materials that are compatible with these new manufacturing techniques and still be stronger, lighter, more energy-efficient, and more durable than currently available materials. In order to maintain global competitiveness, adoption of cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and advanced materials will require a workforce with advanced training in related specialized fields. Studies on the efficacy of research experiences for teachers (RET) suggest RET programs aid teachers is maintaining currency in their fi...
