The datasets (PSGFS_compiled_data_2022.xlsx, PSGFS_compiled_data_2023 and PSGFS_compiled_data_2024.xlsx) were collected by undergraduate students during the time they participated in the Plant Science for Global Food Security (PSGFS) program in summers 2022, 2023 and 2024 at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; Los Baños, Philippines). The PSGFS program is an initiative funded by the National Science Foundation (Grant: NSF IRES #2106718) and led by Diane Wang and Gary Burniske of Purdue University and Amelia Henry and Anilyn Maningas of IRRI. Purdue University PhD student, To-Chia Ting, assisted in compiling these datasets. The explanation of each worksheet in a excel file could be found in the associated word files (PSGFS_README_2022.doc, PSGFS_README_2023.doc and PSGFS_README_2024.doc). PDF files of the presentations given by the students are also provided and compressed in the Student_presentation_2022.zip, Student_presentation_2023.zip and Student_presentation_2024.zip file. File names of the presentations are composed of worksheet names and students’ last names.

This work-in-progress research paper presents our experiences with a NSF-sponsored International Research Experiences for Undergraduates (IRES) program hosted by an a large land grant university in the United States. A major component of the program is implemented at an international laboratory in China. The lab has been established in 2010 as a collaborative research platform, for a large land-grant university in the U.S. and a public comprehensive university, to study the biosonar sensing and flight of bats from an engineering perspective. The lab has pioneered work on the diversity and dynamics of the structures (noseleaves and ears) that bats use to emit and receive ultrasonic pulses In addition, the lab has hosted research experiences for international (primarily U.S.) students and collaborative BS/MS and MS/PhD educational programs. In the last two years, two cohorts of IRES scholars completed the 10-week IRES program. In addition to research and technical experiences, the IRES students participated in several field trips and seminars and were exposed to Chinese culture. To better understand the impact of the program, students were invited to complete pre- and post-program surveys and a post-program interview. The surveys included cultural intelligence assessment, Global Competency Activity, and Sojourn Readiness Assessment. In addition, students answered a few open-ended questions about their technical and cultural experiences. In this paper, we first explain the history of the lab and its research and educational contribution to date. Then, we describe the IRES program and program evaluation measures. Finally, we focus on the influence of the program on students’ intercultural skills and present the assessment results.more » « less

The International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) focuses on developing a diverse, globally engaged STEM workforce through international research experiences. This NSF IRES project aims to develop a portable point-of-care testing (POCT) device for efficient detection of infectious pathogens by integrating microfluidic devices and a filter-free wavelength Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) optical sensor in a portable platform. The program supports an 8-week-long summer research experience at Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) in Japan for a cohort of undergraduate and graduate students. This paper reports on the first year of the program.more » « less
