Role of laboratory-based teaching assistantships on the career development of chemical engineeringgraduate studentsTeaching assistantships (TA’s) are an integral aspect of graduate research in chemical engineering.Through TA’s, graduate students can offset the cost of education through subsidized tuition, fees, andstipends. TA’s also provide career training and development as graduate students enter academia or pursuean industry career.TA’s can be of two forms: classroom course teaching opportunities and laboratory course teachingopportunities. Laboratory teaching opportunities are pertinent for graduate students since these availstudents with engineering scenarios and troubleshooting tips. Laboratory assistantships also

Teachers need new models tosee the transformative powers of non-textual digital resources in their classrooms. Unfortunately,studies indicate that traditional approaches to in-service training for teachers (usually of the “halfday workshop” variety) often do not lead to change in classroom practice by these sameeducators [39].We report here on the dynamics of combining PRISM assessment results and the emerging needfor new IT literacy skills in 21st century STEM careers to guide a PRISM transformation.
