These resultscan help inform faculty as they seek to support GTAs in the GTAs‟ teaching responsibilities.IntroductionFor many years, graduate students have served as laboratory assistants and graders forundergraduate engineering courses. Due to recent efforts to increase hands-on activities inengineering education, many institutions are now also employing graduate teaching assistants(GTAs) as course instructors and lecturers 1-3. While researchers have studied GTAs in thehumanities and physical sciences, little is known about GTA experiences in engineering. Thepurpose of this study is to

Post-pandemic, the proposed method can be applied in many cohort-based learninguse cases.IntroductionSince the novel virus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic [1] in March2020, strict social distancing measures were enacted onto the populace to ensure public healthand safety. Academic institutions were forced into school closures, and shifted towards remotecontent delivery. Over 144 million students across the globe [2], from Indonesia [3] to SaudiArabia [4], were impacted by the need to receive their education through online learning.With the increased global access to stable Information and Communication Technology (ICT)infrastructure, online learning saw an increase in popularity recently [5].

Theoutcome mandates a higher level of learning than “an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility” (outcome f) [2].

. In fact, design courses, in general, have emerged as a means for students to beexposed to some flavor of what engineers actually do; and also, could learn the basic elements ofthe design process by being involved in real design projects. There have even been formalproposals for curricular goals and assessment measures for design-based curricula. Thisargument is driven by a widespread notion that the intellectual content of design is consistentlyunderestimated (1).This paper reviews research on design thinking as it relates to how designers think, learn andmake decisions, which is an important reason why design is not easy to teach.
