ABOUT AMIR'S WORK
Amir Abo-Shaeer is a physics teacher who is inspiring and preparing public high school students for careers in science and mathematics. Recognizing the potential for programs at the secondary level to encourage students to pursue science and engineering degrees, Abo-Shaeer left a career in industry to become a teacher at Dos Pueblos High School in Santa Barbara, California. In 2002, he created the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy (DPEA), a school within a school with a rigorous applied science curriculum that integrates physics, engineering, and mathematics courses; hands-on building projects; and specialized competitions. The program culminates in the design and construction of a robot by the academy’s senior class and its entry into the FIRST Robotics Competition. Although often competing against larger and better-equipped schools, DPEA’s robotic teams have received awards in regional, national, and international contests. Abo-Shaeer’s ability to motivate students and his enthusiasm for science education have transformed the culture at his high school. DPEA participants are highly regarded by other students, and young women now comprise approximately half of the academy’s students—a proportion considerably above the national average in advanced high school science courses. He is currently developing plans to expand the curriculum to accommodate students at different academic levels, as well as to establish a training program for educators interested in undertaking similar efforts at other schools. Abo-Shaeer’s novel and effective model of science education is instilling a passion for the physical sciences in young men and women and is contributing to the preparation of the next generation of scientists and engineers for the twenty-first century.

BIOGRAPHY
Amir Abo-Shaeer received B.S. (1996), M.S. (1998), and M.Ed. (2001) degrees from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He spent the first part of his career as a mechanical engineer in the aerospace and telecommunications industries, before returning to his alma mater, Dos Pueblos High School in Santa Barbara, to teach science in 2001. He has served as director of Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy since its founding in 2002.

关于阿米尔的工作
Amir Abo-Shaeer是一名物理教师，他正在激励和培养公立高中学生从事科学和数学方面的职业。Abo-Shaeer认识到中学阶段的项目在鼓励学生追求科学和工程学位方面的潜力，因此离开了工业界的工作，成为加州圣巴巴拉Dos Pueblos高中的一名教师。2002年，他创建了Dos Pueblos工程学院（DPEA），这是一所校中校，拥有严格的应用科学课程，整合了物理、工程和数学课程；实践建筑项目；以及专业竞赛。该课程的高潮是由学院的高年级学生设计和建造一个机器人，并参加FIRST机器人竞赛。虽然经常与规模更大、设备更好的学校竞争，但DPEA的机器人团队在地区、国家和国际比赛中都获得了奖项。Abo-Shaeer激励学生的能力和他对科学教育的热情已经改变了他所在高中的文化。DPEA的参与者受到其他学生的高度评价，年轻女性现在约占学院学生的一半--这一比例大大高于全国高级中学科学课程的平均水平。他目前正在制定计划，以扩大课程，适应不同学术水平的学生，并为有兴趣在其他学校开展类似工作的教育工作者建立一个培训计划。Abo-Shaeer新颖而有效的科学教育模式正在向青年男女灌输对物理科学的热情，并为培养二十一世纪的下一代科学家和工程师做出贡献。

个人简历
Amir Abo-Shaeer在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校获得学士（1996）、硕士（1998）和教育硕士（2001）学位。他职业生涯的前半部分是在航空航天和电信行业担任机械工程师，然后在2001年回到他的母校--圣巴巴拉的Dos Pueblos高中，教授科学。自2002年Dos Pueblos工程学院成立以来，他一直担任该学院的院长。
