Join us for an engaging session of the VPR Research Series to hear from our special guest, Dr. Kirsten Davis, Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University.


Dr. Davis will share the results of a series of NSF-funded projects exploring the design and student outcomes of programs providing international research experience for students. Using case studies, focus groups, and interviews with various stakeholders, Dr. Davis and her collaborators have developed a framework describing the factors that can influence effective collaboration and student learning these programs. In this talk, Dr. Davis will explain both the administrative support structures that can influence program success as well as program design decisions and their influence on student experiences. She will conclude by discussing the implications of the study findings for educators designing international research experiences for students as well as opportunities for future research on international research collaborations.

This program/lecture is partially funded/sponsored by the Visiting Professor Program, which is funded by a grant to the Office of the Provost from the State of Michigan's King-Chavez-Parks Initiative.  This visit is also co-sponsored by the Engineering Fundamentals Department, Institute for Research and Innovation in STEAM Education (RISE), the College of Engineering, and the Vice President for Research (VPR) Associate VP for Research Development (AVPRD).
