EGSMs work inteams to develop and facilitate well-attended workshops of interest to all graduate students.Workshops focus on academic as well as professional themes, and are aimed at helpingparticipants define and accomplish their goals through graduate school.In this paper, we discuss the training that EGSMs receive as teaching consultants and mentors totheir fellow graduate students. In particular, we describe the training curriculum that has beendeveloped to help prepare EGSMs for their roles.

To support writing across the curriculum and theneed for well spoken officers, a research assignment on a current technology coupled with aformal paper and classroom presentation, were also required. Since circuits and machines hadbeen the primary focus for so long no matter what other material was added, these topicsremained. With each additional topic, there was less time to cover the material.

The process of representation alsoinvolves finding and evaluating information—what is relevant and what is not relevant, and thedegree to which this information is reliable (Matlin7). Attendant with the process of creating aninternal representation (a visualization within one’s head) is the process of transferring thisinternal imagery onto paper, thereby creating an external representation. Externalrepresentations provide an effective means to deal with the limitations of short-term memory.Experts use external representations to keep track of the quantity of

A frequent comment fromengineering faculty who don’t use active/cooperative learning is that they don’t understand howthis form of pedagogy and classroom management strategies can apply to their subject or to theirclassroom. Too often these strategies are brushed off with comments about them only applyingto the “softer” subjects taught on the “other side of campus” – but certainly not to the rigorousand complex technical subjects of engineering.Reported in this paper is information on Active/Cooperative Learning: Best Practices inEngineering Education, an online repository of engineering-specific ideas, testimonials, andteaching strategies to stimulate and aid faculty in trying and
