in studentoutcomes is the central issue in higher education institutions due to constantly increasingdemands of the job market. The success in achievement of this goal is determined by severalfactors including effective teaching, appropriate assessment strategies, and faculty expertise, toname a few. However, due to increasing number of students in a classroom, the quality of workof graduate teaching assistants becomes another important component that contributes to thestudent performance [Norris 1991]. Indeed, a large classroom makes it impossible for instructorsto carry all teaching load alone, and departments assign graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) whohelp instructors to conduct recitations and lab sessions, proctor exams, answer

a hundred international refereed journals. In the aforementioned areas, he has research projects with grant support as principal investigator and collabo- rator from various funding agencies and industry. Among research students whom he supervised, one received two IMechE 2001 Awards for her undergraduate project, and another two received the IMechE Andrew Fraser (Runner-up) Prize for their postgraduate research. YS Wong has played a major or leading role in several collaborative research and teaching programmes: the Summer Design Program, the joint EE-ME Mechatronics (M.Sc.) course, the Architecture-Business-Engineering Industrial Design (B.A.) course, the Laboratory for Concurrent Engineering and Logistics, the

research interests currently center around Engineering Education, focusing on interdisciplinary and international teaming approaches to teaching engineering design. Internationalization of STEM education has been a particular passion for Dr. Doerry, and he has developed numerous initiatives to promote international exposure for engineers since arriving at NAU in 1999, including an International Engineering and Science Certificate program, and the Global Engineering College project, an NSF-funded exploration of a comprehensively internationalized curricular model for engineering education. In 2011, he was asked to lead development of the Global Science and Engineering Program (GSEP), an ambitious large-scale initiative
