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
Vecitis Lab, and anundergraduate from Poli-USP also came for 6 months. This collaboration has resulted in anumber of co-authored manuscripts and a U.S. patent application. Additionally, they havecontinued to strengthen their collaboration through researcher exchange. A SEAS graduate from2012 is currently spending one year in Professor Mierzwa's lab at Poli-USP as a research fellow.She is working closely with a doctoral student that is beginning his dissertation research andplans to spend time in the Vecitis Lab at Harvard in the future. Figure 2. Students overwhelmingly reported that they expect the 2013 Collaborative Field Course will have an impact on their future academic and professional plans.The course has opened

learn which best practices could be applied to CUBE Consulting.At the end of their first semester, CUBE’s consultants elected Bakies as the new President,recognizing her leadership skills and international experiences were a perfect fit for the role.Over the next year, CUBE Consulting expanded both their student body and internationalconnections. They established three new, technically demanding consulting projects to supportthe local community. In the fall of 2013, student consultants worked with a local sustainabletechnology start-up, research professors making an “agri-pulp” paper product, and website andcontent development for an iFoundry project. These projects exposed students to an array ofpractical challenges they had not previously
