Some program alums explained that they were still in contact with their Japanese research hosts. Others described that the NanoJapan program itself provided them with a valuable network of peers interested in science, with whom they could consult about graduate school and career options.5.0 Impact on STEM EducationIn 2008, the NanoJapan Program was awarded an IIE Heiskell Award as a ‘Best Practice inStudy Abroad’ for expanding

, Japan and Singapore, has at least indirectly contributed to the stabilization of theexpectation about the global competencies (perhaps more so for graduate students in engineeringthan for undergraduates), despite the apparent difficulties1,2,3,6 in quantifying what thesecompetencies might entail. At KUSTAR, like elsewhere in the UAE and in the broader MENAand Persian Gulf region, the startup package is not a common practice, and different universitieshave adopted different models of supporting their research faculty, but, even when some supportexists, it is approximately an order of magnitude below the North American investment in juniorfaculty. Due to the lack of systematic investment, we sought a different mode of laboratorybuildup, planning

The key benefit of the HP Institute program, and accompanying HP ATA(Accredited Technical Associate) certifications, is employability. The objective is to providethe practical experience that will enable a graduate to set up a complete, end-to-end ITsolution in an SME (small to medium-sized enterprises) environment. These SMEenvironments are more and more likely to be multi-vendor inclusive which is why HPInstitute provides learning

Presenting students with problems thataffect the world around us will always create more compassionate graduates. In this case, thereare also best practices that promote this type of curriculum.The Engineering Technology degrees offered by the School of Engineering and Technology areaccredited by ABET.

Yetthere are notable exceptions. Parkinson provides an overview of 24 exemplary programs, notingthat a few have ambitious goals to increase their number of graduates with an internationalexperience.
