Beginning about five years ago, the college began offering a master ofengineering degree that is not specialized in any particular engineering discipline. At that time, allnon-laboratory master’s courses in the college were required to include online sections that havebeen taught concurrently with the face-to-face sections. Faculty members teach both sections asone course assignment.The advanced engineering thermodynamics course had an initial enrollment of eight students at adistance who were pursuing their master of engineering degrees while employed full time andtwenty-eight on-campus students

. Graduate student-led teaching efforts have been implemented in engineering disciplines[4]. Many works advance the premise that more strategic development of graduate studentinstruction skills is beneficial for the future engineering professorate. The majority of studentpeer teaching efforts have been conducted in laboratory [5, 6] or workshop settings [4]. Resultsindicate that peer tutoring has the benefit of enhancing content mastery for both the studentsharing information as well as the student receiving information [5, 7]. For the student teacher,practice delivering content in instructional sessions is important for quality and improvement [4].Further, many students have lower inhibitions asking questions of other students than of theinstructor

All you had to go on was howyour professors taught, but nobody taught them anything about teaching either. It doesn’t make alot of sense, but that’s our system.
