In most engineering schools, this task falls into the hands ofthe lab graduate teaching assistant. Not only is the lab teaching assistant often a new graduatestudent, but due to the current demographics of higher education in engineering in the U.S., s/heis also is likely to be an international student and a non-native speaker of English.
