IRES-International Research Experience in Nanotechnology-NNIN and NIMS 2010

为了在专业上取得成效，下一代科学家必须学会在全球研究环境中做出贡献，成为具有全球意识的科学家。 了解如何在不同文化中进行研究，当地文化如何影响科学和工程，以及如何在国际上有效沟通，是必要学习的一部分。标准的课程或美国的研究经验无法教授这一点。该计划将在三年内每年夏天支持5名高级本科研究人员在日本国家实验室进行密集和先进的研究经验。 参与者将从往年的NNIN REU计划中抽取。这确保了学生有一个良好的研究经验的基线，从中建立，我们有他们的潜力可靠的评估。日本国立材料科学研究所的外国合作伙伴已被证明是我们学生最有效和最愿意的东道主。这种经验将在参与者的职业生涯的关键时刻，因为他们准备研究生院。通过该计划，他们将提高他们的研究技能，扩大他们在纳米技术的知识，扩大他们的文化视野，并获得信心，他们可以在具有挑战性的国际环境中有效地做出贡献，并成为有效的全球科学家。

To be effective professionally the coming generation of scientists must learn to contribute within the global research environment and be globally aware scientists. An understanding of how research is conducted in different cultures, how local culture affects science and engineering, and how one should communicate effectively internationally, is part of the necessary learning. A standard curriculum or US-based research experience can't teach this.This program will support 5 advanced undergraduate researchers each summer for three years for an intense and advanced research experience at a National Laboratory in Japan. Participants will be drawn from prior years' NNIN REU program. This assures that the students have a well formed baseline of research experience from which to build and that we have a reliable assessment of their potential. The foreign partners at the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan have proven to be most effective and willing hosts for our students. This experience will come at a critical time in the participants' careers as they prepare for graduate school. Through this program they will advance their research skills, expand their knowledge in nanotechnology, expand their cultural horizons, and gain confidence that they can contribute effectively in a challenging international context, and be effective global scientists.
