Assessing The Impact of IEEE Cloud Computing Platform Training on Students' Knowledge: A Pre- and Post-Study at MKSSS Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Pune.

Abstract

This research paper investigates the impact of IEEE Cloud Computing Platform Training on students' knowledge and comprehension at Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Pune. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, the study analyzes pre- and post-training data from 150 participants. The results, derived from statistical measures including paired t-tests, reveal a statistically significant improvement in students' understanding of cloud computing concepts following the training. Notably, the research explores variations in impact across majors, emphasizing the need for tailored educational approaches. While the study highlights positive perceptions of the training's relevance and high participant satisfaction, limitations include a single-institution focus and reliance on self-reported data. The findings underscore the value of specialized training programs in higher education, suggesting implications for curriculum development and educational policy. Future research could explore longitudinal outcomes and comparative analyses across institutions for a more comprehensive understanding of cloud computing education's efficacy.
