c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Modeling Student Success of International Undergraduate EngineersModeling student retention using entering secondary school academic performance metrics onlyis limited at best. Past research has shown that these variables can be somewhat informative, butare not the whole story. In order to expand our understanding of successful students, defined inthis study as students who are retained and ultimately graduate with a degree in engineering,student retention and graduation modeling has been extended to include not only secondaryschool academic performance, but also self-reported affective and attitudinal measures.

Consider having more tests and generating more scores or points for students on graded homework, design projects [12], term papers, reports, computer assignments, etc., as long as contributing efficiently to the learning process.

Here are eight best practices for working with diverse groups of students, including migrant students: 1.
