Research Experience for Teachers (RET) A 6-week Summer Research and Professional Development Program for High School STEM Teachers

TANMS Research Experience for Teachers (RET) is a 6-week, full-time, research-based summer professional development program that provides hands-on, cross-disciplinary research experiences for high school teachers and community college professors. The RET program aims to:  Team teachers with a cohort of high school students to work alongside faculty and graduate student mentors in high-level engineering research  Build long-term partnerships with high schools through teacher participants to engender enthusiasm in STEM at the precollege level  Guide development of engineeringbased curricula that will motivate students to pursue STEM careers, and tackle real world engineering problems in higher education and beyond

TANMS research focuses on understanding new electromagnetic approaches to develop nanoscale systems in memory, antennas, and motors at sizes previously considered impossible (i.e. the size of a red blood cell). Talented student researchers are now producing revolutionary changes in the operation of these miniature electromagnetic devices.
