Research experience
CRESMET faculty support the research experiences of masters’ and doctoral students by providing paid assistantships, research internships, and mentoring. CRESMET provides office space, computing and technical equipment, supplies, administrative support, and meeting and conference facilities for students enrolled in affiliated programs.
Community of learners
CRESMET is a venue for all people interested in improving STEM education through disciplined empirical inquiry. The boundaries between academic coursework, field-based research, and social network are purposefully blurred. The result is an innovation space whereby students can pursue critical problems of education under close faculty mentorship, with others who share complementary interests and expertise. Students have the opportunity to present their work at national and often international conferences, broadening their circle of colleagues, early and often in their program of study.

The Modeling Institute offers a content-focused, five-semester, sustainability-themed master’s degree program for elementary educators seeking preparation to teach science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) subjects in middle school. This program, based on the nationally acclaimed Modeling Method of instruction, employs a new educational pathway for the advancement of teachers whose interests lie in the areas of mathematics and science education. Our goal is to address
the critical shortage of highly qualified STEM educators in Arizona’s middle schools.
