This model still permits roomfor traditional laboratory and project components.IntroductionIn standard teaching, course topics are covered on a set schedule and exams occur at set schedules.If students have not learned the material for an earlier portion of the class, the course moves alonganyway and focuses on new more difficult material that builds on the previous material thatstudent still does not understand. This promotes a fixed mindset promoting the idea that if youdidn’t get a concept, you never will. At the end of the course, students may only have a partialunderstanding of the material and may be

This results in a hands-on, active learningexperience that will impact all students in the class. In addition to learning research methods byparticipation, this approach incorporates additional topics and broader contemporary topics.2. PurposeThe traditional ergonomics syllabus has focused on the physical requirements of manual laborworkers. While manufacturing and other jobs requiring physical labor remain vital componentsin the workforce, many developed countries have transitioned to a knowledge economy.

While the focus of the class is on pedagogy, the goal is forstudents to find the experience useful regardless of whether they are going into academia,industry, a research laboratory, or other career pursuits. In addition to issues dealing withteaching engineering, sessions are organized for career planning, success in both academia andindustry, ethics, and basic counseling and mentoring skills. This paper is a study of theeffectiveness of the Teaching Practicum experience. Survey responses are analyzed from nearly100 Ph.D. alumni for the period from the summer of 1996 to the spring of 2009.

Such a course sequence occurs with two upper-level laboratory courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Department of Virginia Tech [4]. However, with recent increases in engineering undergraduate enrollments [5], many suchcourses are stretched.

TAs fulfill the role ofsecondary instructor, supporting a course via laboratories, recitations, grading, and otherteaching activities. Whether faculty or TA, primary or secondary, instructors employ a range ofinstructional approaches to engage student learning and interact with students to develop rapport,answer questions, and further scaffold instruction. Although there remains some confusion inthe literature regarding terms, faculty support generally refers to teaching technique (bothteacher-centered and student-centered) while faculty interactions refer to more informalexchanges with students which include both curriculum and course-based interactions as well asconversations about career and other intellectual matters. In this paper, we
