Teaching Assistants (TAs) are often fundamental to the function of many academicdepartments. Whether serving as course aides, graders, or primary instructors, graduate TAs playa vital role in teaching and building a community of belonging in the classroom [1]–[4]. Well-prepared graduate TAs with strong pedagogical training have the potential to ease the burden onteaching faculty and may even see improvements in their own development as scientists [5], [6].Many studies have illustrated the benefits of graduate TA training for increasing graduate TAunderstanding of pedagogical techniques and self-efficacy as educators [1], [7]–[9]. However,graduate TA preparation varies widely across schools and often focuses on policies overpedagogy [10], [11]. For

From that reasoning, the overarchingobjective of this research effort was established to gain a better understanding of the practicalchallenges associated with the integration of virtual world technologies into an undergraduatecourse. Additionally, given the growing need to deliver similar course content to both on-campus and online students the study looked to assess not only changes in student perceptions ofthe both the use of virtual world technologies as a delivery media, but also to assess theirperceptions and reactions to the merging of both online and on-campus sections.MethodologyTo evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual world media and the
the advantage of doing so in thecontext of a global service learning program has been addressed by Shuman, Besterfield-Sacre & McGourty.6 Recent publications have reported on studies of portfolios used byundergraduate engineering students with regard to making personal sense of anddeveloping a professional identity for engineering as a career (Eliot & Turns7), whatconcepts students reveal about engineering as indicated by their written reflective entries(Dunsmore, Turns & Yellin8), and the development of self-awareness related to life-longlearning (Sattler, Kilgore & Turns9). Eris has proposed the portfolio as a way ofexternalizing the learning process of an engineering student, with the potential to promotedivergent inquiry
curricula. Further, the policing and enforcement of legalethical violations is rigorous. Engineering educators may serve the engineering professiongreatly by considering the legal model of professional responsibility training. The case methodof studying ethical behavior, ethical violations, and the fine line distinctions between the twowould provide a concrete basis for professional responsibility training. Also, broadening thescope beyond “ethics” to “professional responsibility” will serve our students well and aid toenhance the reputation of the engineering profession.1 Public Perceptions of Lawyers Consumer Research Findings, American Bar Association, 2002,http://www.abanet.org/litigation/lawyers/ (accessed Jan. 12, 2006).2 The McDonald’s
