For example, broad major groups are used tofacilitate peer mentoring amongst students within disciplines. Groups by year (sophomore,junior, senior) are used to facilitate interdisciplinary discussions amongst students at similarstages in their education. We found that it is important to have less structured time to fosterstudent-student and student-faculty interaction. Topic guidance provides the structure to allowstudents to establish connections, share personally and professionally, and encourage peermentoring. Grading is credit/no-credit and is based primarily on attendance.General seminar themes include student goals and reflections on progress

Therefore the ability to solve problems creatively has beenidentified as one of the imperative competencies for graduating students.

They are not, however, given a chance to use the assessment as a tool for learningitself. More plainly, we often do not allow students to learn from their mistakes. Typicallyengineering students are given one chance to show what they know in a quiz or exam. Once thequiz or exam is turned back the students may be given a solution but rarely have any incentive tolook at it again. Here we discuss how using a quiz for learning (as a formative assessment) canbe obtained by introducing the option of a quiz re-grade.We will
