If you’d like to be considered for a Teaching Assistant or Grader position, please fill out this google form as soon as possible: https://forms.gle/UkzsT3N8xxgmHg1j7

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). Undergraduate TAs and graders average no more than 8-10 hours of work per week (fluctuations in the workload will occur throughout the semester, but should not average more than that). MEng TAs average no more than 10-15 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.

All first time TA’s and graders are required to attend a half-day training in mid-September 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.

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

The Undergrad Program Office revised our MechE B.S. Curriculum Flow Chart and wanted to ensure we released it to MAE students prior to pre-enroll for F23. Included you will find a link to the pdf of the new version.

Why did we do this?

1. Our previous version was hard to read and confusing (we heard this quite a bit from students). We believe this version is MUCH easier to read and understand.

2. We wanted to provide a clear vision of which courses should and/or need to be taken in which semester and which courses have flexible timing. Our goal was to provide a sample schedule of a graduation pathway for each semester that doesn’t overwhelm students via content or credits.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at mae_undergrad@cornell.edu.

Hosted by the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies as part of its work on Inequalities, Identities, and Justice, and co-sponsored by the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program. Speakers: Patty Krawec, Dana Olwan. Moderator: Mohamed Abdou (Global Racial Justice Postdoctoral Fellow, Einaudi Center).
