universities.The studying experience of the graduate level visiting scholars can be improved bydeveloping effective communication between the professors in both the sending and theaccepting universities.V. CONCLUSIONThe exchange graduate students are always undervalued, especially engineering students.Properly organized program can help these students to enhance their learning experienceabroad. On the other hand, exchange students should be aware of the research area of theforeign university. A similar background helps to enhance the efficiency of studying abroad.References[1] S. K.
