Two years later, Joe was finally able to start the jobhe had always wanted, as the pastor of a church.Chris and Jon’s Story:Chris and Jon met during Chris’s final year and Jon’s first year of their common Ph.D. programat Northwestern University in Chicago. This meant that employment location challenges startedearly when Chris defended his Ph.D. dissertation and needed to find a job a year into theirrelationship. The two subsequent years involved a rewarding postdoctoral position at SandiaNational Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM and a staff scientist position at Honeywell Aerospacein Morristown, NJ. Of course both of these positions

Better understanding of student and teaching assistantexpectations can provide valuable insight towards the design of graduate teaching assistanttraining and support programs to help foster a more beneficial and positive experience for boththe teaching assistants and their students.IntroductionIn addition to their coursework and research responsibilities many graduate students are giventhe role of teaching assistant (TA). Although the exact responsibilities of the TA role can varywidely across departments and courses, instruction of students via large lectures, small groups, orlaboratory settings is an included facet of the role

University. Adrienne’s research interests include electrokinetics, predominantly di-electrophoretic characterizations of cells, and the development of biomedical microdevices. She earned aNSF CAREER award and was nominated for Michigan Professor of the Year in 2014. Research within herMedical micro-Device Engineering Research Laboratory (M.D. – ERL) also inspires the development ofDesktop Experiment Modules (DEMos) for use in chemical engineering classrooms or as outreach activi-ties in area schools (see www.mderl.org). Adrienne is currently co-Chair of ASEE’s Diversity Committeeand PIC I Chair; she has previously served on WIED, ChED, and NEE leadership teams and contributedto 37 ASEE conference proceedings articles

Eventhough textbooks include technological and engineering applications,17 these activities are oftenoverlooked to meet assessment goals. Design tasks promote authentic learning because theyaligned with what professionals actually do in practice. School science is typically presented asa set of individual context stripped problems isolated from laboratory activities.Recently the NGSS6 were revealed as the new U.S. national standards for science education.The NGSS complement the
