"PIRE... provides our students with the kind of
direct international experience and training that will
prepare them for careers in an increasingly competitive
global arena." "PIRE...will enable the next generation of
students participants to become fully engaged as members of
the globally-aware IT workforce."" "We look forward to hosting students researchers
... to foster our existing collaborations and create new
ones." "I was able to develop quite a bit as a person, researcher, and professional." "Being able to learn elements directly related to my project, the likes and dislikes of another culture, and be able to communicate in a different language are all aspects related to the PIRE program for which I will always be grateful." "It helps you build confidence that the degree you hold will enable you to tackle any problem, and, more importantly, it lets you experience the job before committing your life to it." |
