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.

The following multiple answer questions were asked and the resultswere compiled and shared with the course instructor. • What was the overall quality of the program? • How well was the program run? • What was the overall quality of the living arrangements? • What was the overall quality of the group excursions (if any)? • To what extent did orientation sessions help prepare you for the program? • To what extent did the program contribute to your understanding of the host culture/s, of your own culture/s, and of cultural differences in a global

It results from the challenges of oursociety and from the increasing complexity and pace that characterize economic growth -innovation, productivity and competitiveness. Derived from such challenges diverse modelsenhancing knowledge transferee has been developed. About one decade ago the tailor-madeapproach first entered the stage of continuing engineering education – facilitating a flexibleand sustainable knowledge flow. The paper provided light on how the stakeholders, i.e.companies and universities received the approach.Generally, the support of tailor-made continuing education is mostly positive. Policy makershave since the early 1990’s supported activities of continuing educations
