Doctoral students as course instructors: Three engineering teaching assistants’ socialization experiencesAbstractThe purpose of this study was to explore and understand the types of socialization experiencesthat result from engineering graduate teaching assistants‟ (TAs) roles as course instructors.Socialization refers to an individual‟s process of becoming a part of a group. In the context ofdoctoral education, socialization can be a complex area to study, largely because there are manyroles and groups for which graduate students can be socialized.Using situated learning, more specifically the communities of practice literature, as thetheoretical framework, this study looked at how three doctoral engineering TAs, with experienceas

those feelings are actually enacted in teaching. Page 22.757.3Teacher AutonomyAutonomy is directly related to motivation 10, 11. Autonomy is when a person‟s “actions arefreely chosen and experienced as emanating from oneself” 12. While research on autonomy ineducation originally focuses on students, more recent research has shown the importance ofteachers‟ sense of autonomy. Pelletier et al. 13 found that teachers‟ perceptions of constraints inthe teaching environment as well as of their students‟ self determination influenced the teachers‟self determination, which finally lead to whether or not the teachers supported their students‟autonomy

and Oreowicz11 that engineeringgraduates, in particular Ph.D.’s, need to know how to teach for both academic and industrialcareers, and that ideally education in pedagogy occurs during graduate school. The paper goeson to point out that taking a pedagogy course and serving a teaching internship during graduateschool closely parallels the procedures used to prepare graduate students to do research. Wankatand Oreowicz12 observe that engineering students have proven to be very reluctant to takecourses from the College of Education. Students in engineering do not subscribe in significantnumbers. Perception is that content as not relevant to engineering instruction and instruction isdone in manner outside the comfort zone of engineering students

and graduate programs inengineering, sciences, mathematics, computational science and engineering, and technology byoffering an attractive alternative graduate program for the graduates of those programs in thisexciting and evolving field of the future. As new industries and technologies evolve so are theneeds for new educational programs. Historically, new educational programs have evolved tomeet the related needs and opportunities; for example, computer engineering in 1970’s, computerscience in 1980, bioengineering in 1990s, computational science and engineering in 2000s andthe nanoengineering programs of the 21st century. The committee does not believe the proposedprogram will stretch existing resources. Rather we feel it will further
