of teaching assistants in the classroom is oneapproach that instructors use to help with implementation of active learning activities and anoption to provide peer-to-peer guidance. While teaching assistants can come in both flavors ofgraduate and undergraduate, multiple studies show the positive effects of using undergraduateteaching assistants (UGTA) on the overall student experience.In a 2015 study by Arizona State University Schools of Engineering [2], undergraduate studentretention practices were analyzed to determine the factors of retention of first-year engineeringprograms. Comparisons in the value of curricular and co-curricular experiences as well asstudent support programs showed that providing peer mentors as role models or UGTAs

). Going paperless proved to berelatively easy due to the professor’s technical proficiency and the type of courses taught.The focus of the majority of the professor’s assigned courses were on the developmentof technical skills within a digital environment, such as computer-aided design (CAD),programming, and graphic design. Over one academic year, which included sevencourses (six different), the professor was able to meet the original goals of the framework.Based on the end of course surveys, student feedback, and self-observations he alsobelieves that the framework was positive for the students and the start of his academiccareer. This paper presents the framework used along with lessons learned and tips forthose who are interested in embracing
