EOT: Education and Outreach in Materials Science and Engineering

Inspiring the Next Generation of STEM Professionals

Description

Education and Outreach in Materials Science and Engineering EOT

Reaching the community and inspiring students into pursuing careers in STEM is an important part of PREM. EOT: Education and Outreach in Materials Science and Engineering was created in order to advance diversity in all four PREM institutions by recruting underrepresented students from K-12. Using as leverage the unique environments of all four instititution, we are able to provide students with diverse research experiences related to the projects within PREM.

Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)

The RET program provides teachers with training by project experts suchs as PI’s, Post Docs and Graduate Students. These experiences are given in PREM facilities and inspired by their research.Every year two teachers are selected to have an authentic research experience in PREM .

Science on Wheels

Science on Wheels is a URPM program that collaborates with PREM by providing students with research experience that help motivate them into purisuing careers in STEM.
