In 2003, Dr. Turner became the Director of ORME, which functions as an office within NORMES, with a revised focus of continuing program and project evaluation, conducting targeted research in the fields of education and social science, and continuing theoretical research in the fields of education, testing, and measurement. Current grants include:
- Collaboration with Physics faculty on a National Science Foundation GK12 grant: K-12 I Can Do Science! (KIDS) partnering graduate students in the fields of science, engineering, and math with local middle school classrooms for the purpose of conducting inquiry-based collaborative activities in science and math classrooms;
- Collaboration with Physics faculty on a U.S. Department of Education FIPSE grant incorporating business skills training into a traditional physics graduate program; and
- Evaluation of the development of a Microelectronics-Photonics interdisciplinary science and engineering graduate degree program funded by a National Science Foundation IGERT grant: A New Era in Electronics Education. The interdisciplinary program also incorporates business skills training and innovative research facilities to provide an advanced technological degree with a focus on meeting the increased expectations of the science and engineering industry.
Selected research articles and presentations related to grant activities and ORME research are also available.
