(PAL) or Peer AssistedStudy Sessions (PASS). The implementation of the SI model at UMKC was deemed successfuland expanded to other courses [1], [3]. As of 2008, the SI model is used in 29 countries and over1500 universities [4]. SIs are considered a resource for both students and instructors to enhanceundergraduate courses. These PAL models, where certain students are selected to assist inenhancing education, were implemented at the University of South Alabama in the College ofEngineering (COE). The SI model is associated with the following courses: Statics, Mechanicsof Materials, Economics and Ethics, Dynamics, Engineering Thermodynamics, ElectricalCircuits, Fluid Mechanics, and Material and Energy Balances.
