The learning goals we set for the new program differ fromthe prior outcome goals. Hence we will need to treat Before/After comparisons very carefully. Inthe long story, our next large task is to undertake a longitudinal study through engineering degreeprograms to determine the effect our enhanced FYEP is having on the BS degree graduates ofMichigan Tech.References[1] S.

theory, this identity drives future activity.In Finklestein (2008)’s study, motive becomes unimportant in sustaining volunteerism once a volunteerrole identity forms. It is also important to note that motivations can change, and it may not always reflecttheir initial motive and reasons for staying. Therefore, organizations should focus on recruitment andretaining volunteers that attract a diverse pool of individuals.Organizations will be able to recruit from a larger pool of individuals by ensuring that the task satisfiesthe diverse functions of the volunteers’ needs. Researchers reveal that if volunteer recruits can find taskswith benefits that match their personal motives, their volunteering efforts will result in higher satisfactionand

Even with this profile,the ECI 5-day participants outperformed the latter group in two outcomes: change in mathmastery and first math course GPA. The ECI 6-week program did have a slightly higher numberof students who entered into Calculus I based on ALEKS after completing the program.There are tradeoffs for decreasing the number of in-person program days, but the essence of thesafe space was maintained. In the future, it would be valuable to determine if the new model stillaids in underrepresented minority student retention and graduation.References[1] S. Wischusen and E.W.

hands-on labs which require only a single virtual machine, container-based solutions, such asProxMox VE (OpenVZ) and Docker, should be considered. They are easy to set up and do notrequire much resources. These types of labs can also be hosted on a public cloud such as GCP orAWS. For hands-on labs using a complex virtual environment with multiple virtual machines, aprivate cloud may be a better choice. Private cloud and public cloud can be complementary and beused together to improve online learning experience.References 1 T. Ercan, "Effective use of cloud computing in educational institutions."

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.
