c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Impact of Research Experience for Teachers with International and Societally Relevant ComponentsIntroductionWe sought to bridge the divide for teachers and their students between secondary science andmathematics content, on one hand, and the engineering of solutions to real-world societally-relevant problems, on the other hand. The expected outcomes for the Research Experience forTeachers: Energy and the Environment project* (RET) included: 1. Teacher knowledge and attitudes toward science and engineering will improve as a result of participating in ongoing engineering research projects for six weeks during the summer and

this collaboration project, the middle school is one of the NASA Explorer Schools in ametropolitan area. Having one astronaut graduated from this middle school, the whole school isvery proud of being involved in exploring the space. Both the administrators and teachers aredoing their best to broaden students’ view towards the outer space. As one example, eachsummer, they send students to NASA for training and competition. The school’s explorer club(roughly enrollment of 60 students per semester), usually meet after classes and work on variousscience project throughout the whole school year. Recently, they connected to space station andtalked to astronaut in real time. Students were able to ask their own interested questions directlyto
