Faculty Participants and Intellectual Focus.

The participating faculty belong to five departments including Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, along with the Institute for Environmental Science and Policy. The dense field of faculty expertise will allow RET fellows to develop close interactions with faculty and research students. All faculty have a strong commitment to teaching.

The program will draw on the expertise of an Educational Advisory Committee composed of members with outstanding records in science education.

The RET fellows and the RET faculty mentors will also receive support from an Industrial Advisory Board.
