AB  - The School of Engineering and Computer Science at Oakland University was awarded by the National Science Foundation a grant entitled “Research Experience for Teachers in Alternative Energy and Automotive Engineering: Energize K-12 Teaching and Learning.”  This is a three year program starting on Oct 1, 2015.  

The objective of the proposed RET site is to strengthen K-12 education in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines by each year involving around 12 middle and high school science and mathematics teachers and pre-service teachers from the metro-Detroit area in multidisciplinary and cutting edge research on alternative energy and automotive engineering for 6 weeks during the summer at Oakland University (OU). In the past summer, a total of 11 teachers have taken part in the RET program at Oakland University. 

This paper will focus on the organization of this program including recruitment, on-site orientation, on-site activities and post-program assessment. Also, the lessons learned from running this type of program will be summarized. Some suggestions to keep the sustainability of the program will be also provided.
