through which twelve freshmanand sophomore physics and engineering students from U.S. universities complete researchinternships in the multidisciplinary field of nanoscience and nanoengineering in leadingJapanese laboratories.34 The program first received five years of funding in 2006 and wasselected for a five-year renewal in 2010 with funding confirmed through 2015. Within thisPIRE grant, the research projects conducted by NanoJapan students are concerned with variousaspects of nanoscience and nanoengineering, ranging from synthesis of nanomaterials throughnanodevice fabrication to a variety of electrical, magnetic, and optical characterizationmeasurements.35NanoJapan recruits high-potential first and second year physics and engineering

collaborative or team work. Students rarely challenge the integrity ofinstruction by the instructors leading to the lack of interactive relations vital to creativity andinnovation. The curriculum is highly structured and there is little room to take liberal arts orinterdisciplinary courses to broaden their education. Not enough emphasis is placed onprofessional competencies which are important for today’s engineers competing in a globalmarket. Accreditation as a relatively new phenomenon in the developing countries face thechallenge of ensuring quality based on standards while also facilitating innovations in education.There is a lack of resources for upgrading laboratories, shortage of trained teachers to teacheffectively and make the course

These will not only help in getting workdone smoothly but establish long term relationships that build sustainability into the researchenterprise.II) Field research as a part of global researchField research is a qualitative method of data collection geared towards understanding,observing, and interacting with people in their natural settings2. Some of the most valuableinformation in the world cannot be found in libraries, papers or laboratories, but theseinformation is crucial and is available in the real place. Real place is a place where the action orwork is being done. There

During thismeeting, the team leader was discussing that a new task added to their upcoming trip to Uganda,in addition to assessing the current electrical system, was to build a safe welding laboratory forthe school EWB-U was serving. In addition to building the facility, the students, along with their Page 26.500.8industry mentor, were also going to host a workshop on safe welding for the students of theschool EWB-U was serving.The students’ reasoning for building the welding facility and hosting a safe

From 2000 – 2009 she served as the scientific co-director of the California NanoSystems Institute, a joint initiative at UCSB and the University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to that, Dr. Hu worked at AT& T Bell Laboratories, after receiving a Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University. Her research has matched nanofabrication techniques with the integration of materials that allow the for- mation of structures and devices that demonstrate exceptional electronic and photonic behavior, allowing efficient, controlled and often coherent output of devices. She has participated in and directed a large set of

These skills include leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management. • Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are
