Each will explain the problem they addressed, a detailed explanation of their design, a test of the design, possible modifications, limitations and overall impact. Each group creates an engineering poster designed at a level that should excite the students in their classroom and inspire interest in engineering.

The showcase served to help develop the teacher’s scientific communication skills. The program culminates in an engineering design showcase that provides teachers with a unique opportunity to present their semester engineering projects to their peers, school administrators and NEWT members. NEET takes place in the Greater Houston, TX area Greater El Paso, TX area New Haven, CT and the Greater Phoenix, AZ area with support from NEWT, R-STEM, UTEP, ASU, Yale staff and faculty. In collaboration with NEWT, the Rice Office of STEM Engagement offers NanoEnvironmental Engineering for Teachers, which is designed to serve: The aim is to enable access to suitable water almost anywhere in the world by developing high performance, easy-to deploy systems for drinking water and industrial wastewater treatment systems enable by nanotechnology.

A joint effort by Rice University, Arizona State University, The University of Texas at El Paso and Yale University, the Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Nanotechnology-Enabled Water Treatment is the first national center to develop next-generation water treatment systems enabled by nanotechnology.
