                            color="#000000">In this talk I will present
                            a class of non-simply connected Calabi-Yau
                            3-folds with positive Euler characteristic
                            which are the quotient spaces of
                            fixed-point-free group actions on
                            desingularizations of singular Schoen
                            3-folds. A Schoen 3-fold is the fiber
                            product of two rational elliptic surfaces
                            with section. Smooth Schoen 3-folds are
                            simply connected CY 3-folds.
                            Desingularizations of certain singular
                            Schoen 3-folds by small resolutions have the
                            same property. If a finite group G acts
                            freely on such a 3-fold, the quotient is
                            again a CY 3-fold. I will present how to
                            classify such group actions using the
                            automorphism groups of rational elliptic
                            surfaces with section. The smooth Schoen
                            3-fold case gives 0 Euler characteristic
                            whereas the singular case results in
                            positive Euler characteristic for the
                            quotient CY threefolds.<br>
