A poster session for the Michigan Tech 2018 Research Experiences for Teachers was held from 3 to 5 p.m. yesterday (Aug. 9) in the Great Lakes Research Center Second Floor Atrium.
The poster session concludes the NSF-funded Teacher Professional Development summer institute, “Computational Tools and the Environment.” Twelve in-service teachers were paired up with civil and environmental engineering graduate students to research topics such as water quality, lead contamination, aquaponics and renewable energy.
The results of their research have been translated into curricula for science and mathematics classes. They will present the results of their research and curriculum development at the poster session.
