Engineering Education, 2013 The Influence of a Teaching Assistant Orientation on Teaching Assistant Perceptions of Self-EfficacyAbstractGraduate students at large, research-intensive institutions are often funded as teaching assistants(TAs) for undergraduate courses. Although content-specific training programs are beneficial forTA development, training in general pedagogical principals is also required given that most TAslack the pedagogical knowledge required to teach effectively. Thus, developing a sense of self-efficacy related to pedagogical principles is important for TA development. This is especiallyrelevant for international TAs who must become familiar with the American classroom whilealso learning how to

The ability of these sen-sors to track many body parts simultaneously has introduced a new data modality for analysis.By analyzing body language, this work can predict if a student will struggle in the future, and ifan instructor should intervene.

This calls for preparing our students to be tomorrow's leading engineers andscientists. It is vital that students in a freshmen class understand how to analyze vectors, and splitan arbitrary vector into components along different directions. From a student point of view,concepts in vectors can seem challenging, especially if they do not have strong

First, from an engineering education perspective, he emphasizes the importance of communicating essential knowledge to non-engineers. The second per- spective comes from the mathematics education research literature. There is a well-established paradox: students often fail to apply familiar methods when they attempt to solve novel problems. Coordinating these perspectives has facilitated
