laboratories.The learning objectives for the NanoJapan IREU are: a) to cultivate an interest in nanoscience as afield of study among college students, b) to cultivate the next generation of graduate students innanoscience, c) to add to the skill set of active nanoscience researchers, d) to create students whoare internationally savvy and have a specific interest in and knowledge of Japan, and e) to educatestudents in culture, language, and technology, in order that they will be more effective whenaddressing global scientific problems. The program has been nationally recognized by both theNational Academy of Engineering27 and the Institute of International Education28 as a best practicein the expansion of international opportunities for STEM students.The
