Abstract

The training and quality of the Teaching Assistant is a continuing need at technological universities, particularly for those universities with large international student populations. A multifaceted approach has been developed to address concerns about pedagogy, academic quality, communication skills, educational culture, academic progress of graduate students, and educational needs of undergraduates and undergraduate programs. The approach includes a combination of short courses, seminars, regular coursework, language proficiency evaluation, and faculty developed policy in cooperation with academic administration. The programs are continually reviewed for quality and potential improvements. Details of the program and the achievement of best practices are described. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2007.
