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
Education, 2021 Use of low-cost vector network analyzers in undergraduate RF and wireless circuit laboratoriesAbstractRadio frequency (RF), microwave and wireless courses at the undergraduate level are a naturalextension to the usual required course in electromagnetics because they show the tremendousnumber of applications in this field. Laboratories for reinforcing the RF and wireless conceptscovered in lecture are widely used, but frequently are done in the faculty member's researchlaboratory, using research-grade equipment. For example, students can reinforce theirunderstanding of matching networks, filters and amplifiers by fabricating these circuits usinglumped elements (inductors and capacitors) or
