Programs for Teachers:

Exploring Engineering and Technology
The College of Engineering and the College of Applied Science at the University of Cincinnati are working with Cincinnati area high schools to develop and deliver a course that introduces engineering and technology to high school juniors and seniors. The schools that are currently collaborating on this effort are Mount Notre Dame High School, Mother of Mercy High School, Princeton High School, and Wm. Henry Harrison High School. http://www.eng.uc.edu/eet/

Teacher’s Material Camp is for teachers who want to learn more about new engineering techniques and developments, can be applied in the classroom, can sign up for the Teachers’ Material Camp. During the week-long program, 30 teachers will get hands-on laboratory experience, and can take home a series of demonstrations that teach chemistry, physics, math, technology and industrial arts. More info.

Teachers' Initiative: Program in Biomedical Research is an eight-week summer research program for six middle- and high-school science teachers from the Cincinnati area. Teachers do research under the guidance of a laboratory preceptor and present their work at an end of program research symposium. They attend weekly lunchtime research seminars where they discuss the progress of their research and share ideas for transfer of their new knowledge and research skills to the classroom setting. Funding is provided by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. http://www.med.uc.edu/admissions/teacher2006.PDF

Science and Technology Enhancement Program is intended to educate, nurture, and facilitate science and technology university students by bringing their experiences and knowledge into the classroom and becoming educators. In addition, project STEP recognizes that effective science and mathematics education requires authentic and inquiry-based learning. Students must be able to link the relevance of their education with events and issues occurring within their community. They must be able to experience how it allows them to participate as effective citizens in a technology-driven society.http://www.eng.uc.edu/STEP/overview/
