The primary goals of the East Asia Summer Institute program are to expose students to East Asia science and engineering in the context of a research laboratory, and to initiate personal relationships that will foster research collaborations with foreign counterparts in the future. This project will provide the student with first-hand research experience, an introduction to science and science policy infrastructure, and orientation to culture and language in East Asia.
