These students are generallyidentified early in high school (if not in middle school) as high-potential scholars for whomaccess to opportunities like this STEM program are not common in their own school orcommunity centers. Effectively, the academic and social characteristics of each section aredesigned through this admissions process.Section instructors are asked to recruit teaching assistants for their projects with a target of oneTA per 4-5 high school students where classes ranges in size between 16 and 25. This class sizeis dependent on room size and/or laboratory capacity. These TA’s are drawn almost entirelyfrom the undergraduate engineering

ourengineering programs into online learning environments, we realize the importance of promotinginclusion becomes even greater. One of our online offerings is a bridge program that encouragespeople with non-STEM majors to step into the STEM fields. The transition to a differentdiscipline adds a layer of complexity for students and amplifies a need for us to recognize theirdifferent academic and cultural backgrounds.Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) have a substantial opportunity to impact student perceptionsof disciplinary knowledge due to their higher level of interaction with students [1]. In someresearch-oriented universities, GTAs cover more than 90% of laboratory sections [2]. Therefore,enhancing their teaching practice will directly influence

These ideas include thefollowing: • Using multi-media resources such as educational videos and recorded interviews to give an overview of the materials world. For example, a compact disk made by Struers (Struers is a major manufacturer of metallurgical laboratory products, see www.struers.com for more information) presents the history of materials evolution right from the pre-historic times to the present age. In addition, computer simulations on various topics such as solid solubility of carbon in steel, diffusion, and dislocation motion

The latter often requires multiple pedagogicalskills, such as the skills to motivate students and guide in their problem-solving processes, theability to arrange team-based learning activities and other classroom management skills, whichcan be challenging for new instructors or graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) before they gainenough teaching
