2015 E3 Program Recommendation Form
(To be completed by applicant’s campus principal, assistant principal, or department head)
Overview: The Enrichment Experiences in Engineering (E3) teacher summer research program is hosted at Texas A&M
University (http://e3.tamu.edu). It is designed to bring secondary science, mathematics, and career and technical education
(CTE) teachers to the A&M campus for a two week summer residential experience where the teachers are mentored by
engineering faculty and staff as well as past participants of the E3 program. During their E3 experience, teachers learn about
engineering research, gain heightened awareness of engineering career opportunities for their students, and develop an
engineering project for implementation in their classroom. It is an intense program with high demands on participating
teachers. We seek teachers who excel in the classroom and can serve as a positive influence on their students as they
navigate the college/career planning process.
Instructions: Please rate the applicant on the following attributes; additional comments are also welcome. Upon
completion, please submit this recommendation form directly to the E3 program via email (email as a scanned attachment
to Katharine Leysath at [email protected]), via fax (979.847.8654), or via postal mail (E3 Program, ATTN: Katharine
Leysath, 3127 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843-3127). Please submit by April 1, 2015 at the latest.
