Teaching assistantships

Teaching assistantships are administrated and assigned by the ECE department based on a graduate student’s experience in teaching, including English proficiency. A graduate student who receives a teaching assistantship performs teaching assistant duties for an undergraduate class and is under the supervision of the class instructor. Students are required to study for one full term prior to qualifying for a teaching assistantship. Research assistantships normally come from professors’ research grants and are administrated by individual professors. A student who receives a research assistantship is expected to conduct research directed by the professor.
