Teacher attitudes toward science and engineering will improve as a result of experiencing problem-based learning (PBL) and engineering design with constraint activities as learners and teachers will subsequently use design and PBL pedagogies in their classrooms. 3. Teachers will more fully appreciate relationships that tie science fundamentals to technology applications and economic development, and become more forceful and convincing advocates for sustainable energy practices and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.RET participating teachers (n=23) engaged in cutting-edge engineering research at West

It also strengthened the idea of combining highperformers with (hands-on) practically oriented students in groups to help improve eachothers’ weaknesses. Next year’s camp duration will be extended to 5 days, since 3 daysdid not allow enough time for elaborate design and problem solving.
