Through this survey, it was determined that a number ofinternational and domestic students had proficient technical skills, but lacked in the areas offormal technical and non-technical write-up reports and presentation skills. At the end of theschool year, another survey is conducted to assess the skills of the students. In the 2013-14academic school year, the EVP had 80 members. A majority of international students did nothave experience writing reports and giving presentations. The end of year survey of thesestudents revealed that they had improved on these skills. Via peer-led teams and constructivecriticism, international students developed skills working

Other challenges include engaging in a new social environment [10] requiring students tosocially and emotionally adapt while potentially leading to culture shock or cultural clashes [1,3,9,12]. This can be aided with supporting relationships among international peers or withdomestic students, as these forms of mentoring are successful in previous literature [4,5]. Mostmentoring opportunities discussed in the literature focus on connecting international studentswith other international students and do not engage much with domestic students, but the desireto connect with domestic students

It has been shown that self-assessmentand instructor-assessment of in-class participation are often not in agreement [1], [5], [19].

While class performance improved with theproportion of adult students, these students graduate at a lower rate than traditional students.Social integration was identified as a key to retention since anxiety leads to questioning abilitiesand thus stunted performance. Interviews revealed that Adult learners viewed themselves asmore experienced, more career focused, and less interested in social activities than the traditionalstudents.
