decisions. Our results also show that despite a perceived lack of autonomy, some GTAscontinue to act autonomously when faced with decision-making in the classroom. These resultscan help inform faculty as they seek to support GTAs in the GTAs‟ teaching responsibilities.IntroductionFor many years, graduate students have served as laboratory assistants and graders forundergraduate engineering courses. Due to recent efforts to increase hands-on activities inengineering education, many institutions are now also employing graduate teaching assistants(GTAs) as course instructors and lecturers 1-3. While researchers have studied GTAs in thehumanities and physical sciences, little is known about GTA experiences in engineering. Thepurpose of this study is to

Every student is paired with afaculty mentor, and most work in research groups or laboratories that include a variety of faculty,postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate research assistants. EnSUREparticipants are expected to work full time (40 hours/week) on research during the 10-weekprogram, and are compensated at an hourly rate.In addition to students’ research activities, they are required to participate in weekly professionaldevelopment seminars and complete a number of writing assignments. Figure 1 summarizes thecalendar of activities and assignments for EnSURE students. Previous research and

these groups. Insome institutions, it is common for graduate students to take courses outside of their departmentor college; in other programs, graduate students are not allowed to enroll in courses outside theirmajor or college.Another important question to answer during your visit or conversations is what kind of workingenvironments (office, lab, classroom, etc.) are typical for graduate students pursuing the researchor degree that interests you at that institution. Pursuing a graduate degree in engineering isdifferent than being an undergraduate; many graduate students find that their research andcoursework is more like having a job than being a student.
