The salary varies from $14/hour to $15/hour.Depending on the type of subject and the number of students being taught, the TA ishired for 10 or 20 hours per week [2].At the CE at UCN, TAs do not receive any tuition waiver. However, they teach twice perweek and their hourly rate varies from $9 to $12, depending on TA’s experience and thetype of course they teach. For example if the TA activity is to teach a laboratory, then thehours assigned to the activity is increased based on TA’s required time to preparematerial and equipment used in the

. Page 24.362.2The process of solving a mechanical engineering problem has three components: problemdefinition, developing a sketch, and introduction of the equation[4, 5]. Educators developed andimplemented simulations, animations; set up remote laboratories; and recorded videos to conveythis process – and its components – effectively in on-line settings. For example, virtual andremote laboratories developed for different courses around the world – including virtuallaboratory for teaching robotics[6]; virtual learning environment for the laboratory component ofmechanisms and machine dynamics course[7, 8]; remote laboratory for circuit theory, sensortechnology, and oscilloscope and function generator course[9]; and instrumentation platform

Industrial Emulator; these systems are also being used by many otherleading institutions for teaching control systems principles. The inverted pendulum system with aDC servomotor is the main plant system for this laboratory as it satisfies all the aboverequirements. The other systems possess unique characteristics that provide a more enrichingcontrol education experience for the students. In particular, the industrial emulator model is idealfor teaching practical control of modern equipment such as spindle drives, turntables, conveyors,machine tools and automated manufacturing machinery. Its adjustable dynamic parameters andability to introduce or remove nonideal properties in a controlled manner make it a perfectselection for industrial servo

The mentors were introduced to suchconcepts as collaborative learning and team management, and were given guidelines (rubrics) bywhich to evaluate the students in their teams.A brief description of the type of materials and classroom exercises that were covered in therecitation is given below:♦ Multidisciplinary team skills. Various in-class exercises were used to develop an understanding of the team dynamics and the “language” of other disciplines. Specific approaches used were peer teaching, listening and interpretation exercises, peer teaching of research methods in the laboratory, and the use of the jigsaw method7 for team problem solving. The “listening and interpretation” exercise was performed in

Although theexperience is academically important, many students describe EE186 as a class they take “forfun.”One of the most important aspects of EE185 is the use of more advanced undergraduate studentsas mentors. The mentors play an especially important role in the laboratory, where they canwork one-on-one with students to help them through difficulties as they arise.Although the mentors are under the supervision of faculty and graduate teaching assistants, theyhave some advantages in working with the students. Because the mentors are alsoundergraduates (many only a year or two removed from EE185 themselves), they and thestudents are in a similar academic and social context

This is especially attractive forstudents because they are able to download the software on their personal computer and work onthe simulation before or after the laboratory. PSCAD results are solved as instantaneous valuesin time, but can be converted to phasor magnitudes and angles via built-in transducer andmeasurement functions. This is very similar to how real system measurements are performed,such as rms meters and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrum analyzers. The

Though past research about online learning, in general,may shed light on instruction with online labs—e.g., [1], [2]—the experiential emphasis oflaboratory learning presents unique challenges in an online environment that must be addressed.Online labs have gained interest in education over the last decades.

Such an experience trains graduatestudents to carry out research on a problem someone else has defined and gotten funded. It doesnot, however, prepare them for anything else they might be called upon to do in graduate schooland in their professional careers, including: • Teaching assistant responsibilities.
