Mechanical Engineering majors may use their work as a TA to count for credit, which can fulfill an Advisor Approved elective requirement (contingent on advisor approval). TAs and graders average no more than 10 hours of work per week (fluctuations in the workload will occur throughout the semester, but should not average more than that). Students who receive offers for TA positions should plan on being asked to offer office hours, lead discussion or lab sections, and possibly assist with grading. Additional specific or alternate TA tasks are decided by the instructor. TAs should plan to be available at least a week before the start of the semester through the grading of final exams. Students who receive offers for grading positions will only be required to grade; no other TA tasks are required.
TA’s and graders are required to attend a half-day training offered by Engineering Learning Initiatives.

Grader positions are offered at a paid hourly rate.
TA positions must be taken for credit if it is your first time TAing for MAE, otherwise they can be for credit or at a paid hourly rate. Please note that due to Covid-related budget cuts across the university, first preferences will be given to students who are willing to TA for credit.
More TAs will be hired than Graders this fall due to the possible increase in help professors will need.

There is no formal application process for a TA or grader position; you need only fill out the google form with the information requested in it. Please let me know if you have any questions.
