receivedday-to-day mentorship under an English-speaking Japanese graduate student or post-doctoral researcher. The goal was to allow the NanoJapan students to experience workingas part of a true international research collaboration and, over the course of the summer,to learn to successfully navigate not only differences in approaches to research in the U.S.and Japan but also language and cultural barriers within their research laboratories inJapan. In addition, students had to develop the skill sets necessary to overcome logisticalbarriers, such as time differences, to enable them to remain responsive and engaged withall members of the PIRE international research team.

, limitations in language were mitigatedby creating project groups with students from both institutions, from multidisciplinarybackgrounds, and from undergraduate and graduate students, where the groups could leveragethe strengths of their respective group members.Starting Early on ProjectsTraditionally, studying abroad is seen as an option explored by students in the arts andhumanities and oftentimes, studies abroad offices may not be prepared for programs that takeengineering students abroad 4. Therefore, it is imperative to start early on the project, so that anychallenges faced due to the lack of engineering study abroad programs can be met on time.Furthermore, “engineering programs often do not have advisors who are knowledgeable aboutstudy abroad
