recruitment model for student participation at each State College that is feasible in terms of maximizing the number of recruits and that can be replicated by others interested in this model. Development of a computer-oriented student learning community. The objective of this project component is to provide participating students with future-oriented motivation to complete their State College AA degree and their BS degree in computer science at FAU. In the project, the learning community will provide students with three key elements: (a) extended collegial connections with other student participants as well as opportunities for them to join student engineering clubs. (b) ongoing contact with regional high-tech corporate representatives

Theengineering academic advising office and new students office have worked together to createcontent for four meetings of these small groups each quarter. By focusing on keeping the contentrelevant and timely, we have been able to raise student satisfaction with the course and withengineering. Additionally, we have added support for the Peer Advisers to ensure theirsatisfaction and the course’s continued success. Challenges in communication and planningbetween the two offices remain, particularly in training the Peer Advisers.References[1] Barefoot, B. O. (1992).

In the 1990s, therules for H-1B visas given to foreigners to work in the U.S. were liberalized to accommodate theneeds of the U.S. industry. Then, in 2001, in response to concerns about the adverse impact of H-1B on the U.S. labor force [1], the U.S. Congress allocated additional funds to the ComputerScience, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship (CSEMS) program at the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) by making significant changes to the H1-B Visa allocations and fees [2].Since then, CSEMS [3] and its replacement program
