-independency that is expected from graduate students when it comesto research. Some of the students anticipated more guidance and/or daily contact with the facultyhost and felt a little lost at the beginning. Better preparing the students for that environment willallow them to engage in the research project and adjust to the lab environment more quickly.The program was designed to provide intensive language training in the morning. For that, thecollaboration of Texas A&M University’s English Language Institute was crucial. The EnglishLanguage Institute integrated the 50 students into their regular summer session while creating atailored TOEFL preparation class for the group and designating conversation partners that wouldaddress each student’s

As aresult, both institutions' collaborations at the research level are expected, promoting futuresimilar programs at the graduate level as well. The program is interdisciplinary, allowing forcollaboration between different engineering disciplines while addressing the same technicalissue. The collaboration assumes culture and knowledge combined can create the type ofintegrated environment best suited for research. The topic of renewable energy will be exploredand studied, and also examined through lenses designed for sustainable innovations. Page 19.9.4All
