This table explores a case study of Research Centers on US and international students’ outcomes in the context of Industry-University partnerships. The amount and complexity of R&D investments and programs have been growing in the last few decades, however, little is known about their effects and long-term outcomes on the university training of future scientists. The main findings will be discussed and recommendations provided.

The center is a building that demonstrates the university’s commitment to global education by bringing together student and faculty services, academic instruction, and programs and research. Centers, institutes, and offices housed in the building work pan-university to sup-port the globalization of the campus.
