To these ends, the UT ASEE Student Chapter has hosted a paneldiscussion with professors from local small colleges with engineering programs such as Trinity and BaylorUniversities. Furthermore, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Dean Cherwitz has addressed the group onhis “Preparing Future Faculty” Program, which pairs graduate students with local faculty, and allows thestudent to shadow for a semester, taking part in all faculty duties from teaching to committee work.The Application Process This is always a difficult period, but being informed about the process can easetensions

IntroductionTeachers want their students to succeed in what they are taught and seek testing instruments toassess their learning. Sometimes regular testing instruments are not adequate. For such reasonsteachers have students participate in academic competitions. Competitions expose and enhancestudent’s practical understanding of the subject matter by providing a platform to practice.Competitions help students become successful, build teamwork, and assist in improving studentskills.

ofworkshops and nature of having a graduate student as an instructor allows students to interactwith peers and the workshop leader more effortlessly. On the contrary, the larger lectures andhaving a faculty member as an instructor produces a more intimidating environment. The studyshows that there are practices that can be implemented to further contribute to students’ feelingsof autonomy, competence, relatedness, and subsequently course engagement. For example,students found it easier to relate to professors that provided background information aboutthemselves at the beginning of the semester.IntroductionIn response to calls to implement engineering and design activities across the undergraduatecurriculum, first-year engineering courses are changing

The real meaning of this phrase isoften even more discouraging: EM is widely believed to be overly theoretical, unintuitive and alittle irrelevant in today’s engineering world. And this is, typically, an opinion of a person who issomewhat familiar with EM, e.g. a graduate engineering student who took electromagneticsduring their junior or

It is a challenge to fit the broad education requiredfor gaining this kind of understanding into an intensive engineering education.

The computers and cell phones inthe classroom become distractions and pull the student’s attention away from the lecture. It ishard for the instructor to compete with social media, online games, and other readily availableon-demand content provided by computers and cell phones.
