Undergraduate Teaching Assistantships in ME

Each fall and spring, the Department of Mechanical Engineering selects from a pool of highly qualified undergraduate applicants for paid undergraduate teaching assistantships in ME. Not only can serving as a teaching assistant look great on a resume, but being a TA can also provide benefits such as:

• better understanding of the teaching and learning process
• deeper appreciation of the subject matter
• pre-professional training
• improvement of writing and presentation skills
• development of leadership and self-confidence
• better time management skills 

Full-time students interested in becoming a TA must:

1. Fill out an application form for submission. A new application must be completed every semester (no applications are kept from previous semesters). 
2. Be available to work a minimum of one week before classes start until grades are due (see calendar below). This is true for all TAs, regardless of experience.
