the instructor/TA relationship with a contract. Examples ofcontracts are presented.1. IntroductionAlthough virtually unknown in liberal-arts colleges, teaching assistants1 (TAs) are a fixture ofmost engineering programs, where class sizes are large and the subject matter is technologicallycomplex. Usually, teaching assistants are assigned to instructors to assist with a particular coursesection. Sometimes TAs are paid hourly, but more often, they are on a monthly stipend for tenor twenty hours’ work per week. It is difficult for a beginning instructor to know how to makeeffective use of that time until (s)he has taught a class several times.Much has been written about teaching assistants at the ASEE Annual Conference [1–6] andelsewhere [7–9

The students’ challenge was tooptimize an energy plan for the U. S. for the next 50 years. The class divided themselves intodifferent factions. Since genetic algorithms lend themselves to systems that have indefinitefactors, this was the category of algorithm that was chosen for this investigation. A population of different energy resources was compiled. For each faction, a spreadsheet wascreated which contained a detailed summary of the energy plan components. Each faction thencreated and applied a genetic algorithm to their starting plans. Genetic

With this slightmodification, course learning objectives can now be measured much more accurately.Note that it is not necessary to use all assignment problems as an assessment tool, but it isimportant to always specify course learning objective corresponding to a given problem.This has proven to provide the student a sense of ownership of the problem, therebyencouraging and motivating the student. Once the format is set for each homework, theinstructor can change problems from year to year, however maintaining thecorresponding related course learning objective.
