a graduate studentworking on an international research collaboration. Previous NanoJapan host labs include PIREresearchers at Osaka University, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo Institute of Technology,RIKEN, the National Institute of Materials Science, Chiba University, The University of Kyoto,Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Shinshu University, Tohoku University andHokkaido University.The primary language used throughout the international research experience is English, thoughNanoJapan students draw upon the Japanese language skills attained through the orientationprogram both in and outside of the lab. All Japanese PIRE research professors speak Englishand the Japanese graduate student mentors must be able to speak English with
byselecting and integrating mechanical, electrical, electronic, and computer technologies.Finally, the first floor, called "space for production", is a place that includes a manufacturing anddesign machine shop and where engineering materials are worked. This is where the studentshave an opportunity to practice with and experience the different solutions proposed to projectspreviously identified on the upper floors.In summary, the result of the work done in each of the spaces of the building are the input for thenext floor: the fifth floor is a space built for collaborative projects and where the first ideas aregenerated, the fourth floor is the place to work on modeling and simulation of those ideas, thethird floor is a place of transit for the
styles as theybuilt homemade speakers out of locally available materials. The Light, Photography and RemoteSensing project allowed students to share their own photographic images of their schools andlessons learned digitally. Both the Biowall and Water Filtration projects allowed groups ofstudents from the schools to share about the challenge of access to clean water from the culturalperspectives of a rural Kenyan and urban American environment.2.1 Program MetricsQuantitative and qualitative assessment is carried out in order to examine the efficacy of theprogram in [1] encouraging students to pursue engineering, [2] increasing student knowledge ofengineering, [3] increasing awareness of the real-world applicability of the curriculum and [4
