Michigan - An RETSite on Smart Vehicles.” The summer program was six weeks long and hosted five communitycollege faculty, five in-service teachers (high school science) and five pre-service teachers(integrated science majors). Participants were split into five groups and teamed up with anengineering faculty and an engineering undergraduate student each. During their 40 hours/weekwork schedule, participants worked on faculty-supervised research projects for 25 hours/weekand the remaining time was reserved for development of classroom unit plans.This paper presents details about the RET Site’s management and discusses lessons learned fromour experiences. Preliminary assessment results will be presented and discussed. Finally, we willconclude with

At the same time, they frequently point out that lab report writingis one of the most difficult tasks. Indeed, writing requires an extensive time investment forstudents, from developing ideas to proofreading before submission.

such as introductory circuit analysis may be disadvantaged by entering the class withfaulty mental models of basic concepts related to the subject. While circuit analysis may be firststudied in earnest at the freshmen or sophomore level in college within an electrical andcomputer engineering degree program, concepts related to electricity and magnetism are oftenintroduced into the curriculum much earlier. For example, many fourth-grade students in theUnited States have a module devoted to electricity and magnetism; in addition, students learnmore about related phenomena in their high school and college physics courses. Faulty mentalmodels and common misconceptions relating to the behavior of electric circuits have beendocumented elsewhere [7
