The goals for this NSF Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program are to (1) provide a deeper understanding of civil engineering with tangible hands-on curriculum and (2) develop better abilities among middle and high school (secondary education) teachers in North Dakota to prepare their students to become future leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.  The RET Engineering site at North Dakota State University (NDSU) for secondary educators will deepen their knowledge on how civil engineering can be used to mitigate natural disasters in the region and globally.

The RET Site at NDSU is supported by the National Science Foundation (Award No. 1953102).
