AB  - Native American students were recruited from five Tribal Colleges in North Dakota to participate in a 5-week, National Science Foundation-funded summer research experience in Beijing, China. Goals of the broader, three-year program are to provide 12 students with the opportunity to obtain tailored knowledge, skills, and mentoring needed to understand, create, and apply Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled technology for environmental monitoring systems and obtain exposure to different sociocultural experiences. In the first year of the program, students participated in one week of preparation at North Dakota State University and four weeks of training at the Beijing University of Technology. Surveys and interviews conducted among the first-year cohort offers evidence that this international research experience provides students with unique, personal- and professional-growth opportunities. Participant responses specifically highlighted increases in globally-engaged perspectives, deepened comprehension of engineering techniques, and the enhanced peer-support skills. Experiencing, and successfully adapting to, the unique behaviors and traditions of an unfamiliar cultures builds social capital and confidence in individuals. Obtaining the ability to experience unfamiliar cultures, by eliminating physical, financial, and conventional barriers, helps seed ideas and insights on how these obstacles can be overcome in the future. In time, collective knowledge obtained from these learning experiences will provide new wisdom in the lives of the Native American student participants, their family and peers, and future students. Similar to all cycles in life: Providing opportunity seeds hope; hope nurtures motivation, and; motivation blooms change.
