development program in which middle school teachers participate in an intensive summer research experience in computer science and engineering labs, build curriculum based on the laboratory research content that they learn, participate in lesson study, and implement new curriculum in their middle classrooms. The second program (5 years) is a high school teacher RET program with similar components. This paper contains a combined report of results of both of the RET programs. The two programs had the combined intent of bringing innovative computer science and engineering research to middle and high school teachers and their students and improving teacher performance, while simultaneously improving student achievement through scientific inquiry

The goal of this research effort was to extend the pedagogy of hands-on learninginto the ME and AE curricula, tackling mechanical and thermal applications. This paper gives anoverview on those activities as well as efforts to assess the effectiveness of the learningenhancements. Furthermore, because the hands-on experiments are often used in a collaborativeway in student teams, the research has also studied the role of gender and ethnicity in the studentteams, developing best practices for building effective teams formed from diverse students.1.

over the Internet, computer-based learning increasingly happen in students’ personalspaces (e.g., homes, apartments), as opposed to public learning spaces (e.g., laboratories,libraries). In these personal spaces, it is difficult for students to get help from classmates orteaching assistants (TAs) when encountering problems. As a result, collaborative learning isdifficult and rare. This is especially true for urban universities such as Georgia State Universitywhere a significant portion of students are part-time students and/or commute. To address thisissue, we intend to broaden the concept of “virtual computer lab” to include general computer-based learning happening in “virtual space,” which is any location where people can meet
