This was an option associated with the original IEC, and proposed as the post-graduate goal of the GEC, but now it is an integrated and essential requirement for the new Minor.  a new gateway course to give GEM students a common focus.

Yet, a graduate educationtypically focuses predominately on preparing students to lead research projects, without an emphasison development of pedagogical skills. Especially in engineering fields, graduate students may notautomatically be required to teach, receive pedagogical instruction, or engage in other careerdevelopment aspects beyond research. The exact reason for this is unclear but may be linked tounderestimating the positive impact of teaching by graduate students. Yet, there appear to beconcrete benefits for both the graduate students and the students taught by them. In fact, manygraduate students are interested in teaching and would like to

It can be done through inferences, hypothesis testing, comparinggroups to a model of some kind, or through goodness-of-fit indices which provide an array ofcriterion for decisions about the authenticity of analysis.

Activities during classroom and lab time, however, leave less room for instructionalexplanation. Students who are accustomed to project-based learning also seem to be anxious notto have to endure extensive in-class explanation. The “Flipped Classroom” or “InvertedClassroom” approach has popularized the practice of presenting content to students in someother form outside of class during homework time. Foundational concept learning is pushed tostudent homework time. Students then come to class prepared to apply the concepts
