standard that covers mainengineering skills in sciences, mathematics and design. Students are prepared through arigorous curriculum. However, Universities fail to fully prepare students for aspects of theirlives beyond the academic scope. While the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology(ABET) requires student training in ethics, lifelong learning, communication, and working inmultidisciplinary teams, students remain insufficiently prepared with skills that help overcomemany challenges they face after leaving University.University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is a public research university registering greater than20,000 students.

Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) courses. Researchers have noted that some course instructorssimply lecture but rarely help students make the connection between teaching and learning.4-5The SI program is based on group sessions led twice a week for one hour by a peer leader whohas already completed the course with a grade of an A or B. These group sessions includecollaborative learning techniques. SI leaders were assigned to target courses based on priorsemester DFW rates and professor willingness to have an SI leader. Whenever possible, the SIleader sits in class and gains firsthand knowledge of the areas in which students are struggling.In order to examine the effectiveness of the SI sessions, we examined the number of SI

, Engineering Students, Assessment1. Introduction and BackgroundGlobalization has been one of the most prominent movements of the past decade. Theglobalization movement has been driven by economic, technological and political progress1. Asa result, this movement has even reached the engineering sphere. Engineers need to be ready totake on problems never seen before in a world that is open and competitive 2.According to Andersen3, engineers today require not only advanced technical skills but also theability to function in international projects with different cultures and beliefs to be successful inthe business world. However, in the United States (U.S.), engineering students have a difficulttime engaging with and accepting ideas from those whose

best knowledge of the authors, this has never beenexperimented in other institutes. To provide the best learning experience for our students and totake advantage of the MakerSpace (a new facility that was recently set up in SCUPI), the idea ofa SCUPI Derby, which was modeled after the well-known US Boy Scouts’ Pinewood Derby [1],was assigned to our students as the final project. What is different from the Pinewood Derby isthat the model car of our project would be made from 3D printing instead of elaborating on apinewood block. To prepare our students for this challenging task, SolidWorks has been used asthe main design tool. Not only the concept of concurrent engineering was introduced in the earlystage of the class, but also the technology
