RET Site: Collaborative Multidisciplinary Engineering Design Experiences for Teachers (CoMET) 

Our RET site program at UCF will expose middle school to high school science and math teachers to various aspects of IoT technologies from design to manufacturing in an effort for them to experience the complete lifecycle of hardware and software, i.e., building blocks of IoT.  The teacher participants will gain a new insight into this cutting-edge engineering research through the application of scientific knowledge, hands-on experiments, and development of their teaching modules, which will enrich their classroom teaching.
