Teaching Internship

It has been said that true mastery of a subject requires the ability to teach it to others. The Department of Biomedical Engineering feels that the training of good communicators is crucial for producing excellent professionals. To this end, an advanced sequence of training exercises has been designed to create the educators of tomorrow.

Teaching Internship

First Year Tutoring
During the first year of graduate study, students decide which undergraduate classes they feel comfortable tutoring. A web-based database allows undergraduate access to first year graduate students for help in every course offered that semester. This provides a one-on-one teaching experience and allows the graduate students to accustom themselves to transmit instruction.

Second Year Internship
During the second year, all graduate students take a one-credit Teaching Internship Course. This course covers basic concepts in teaching and builds toward videotaped lectures to the class. With this one-on-many teaching experience, each student derives feedback from instructors and students and starts to build a concrete teaching portfolio.

Third Year Teaching Assistant
The most outstanding teachers from the Teaching Internship course have the option to be Teaching Assistants for Undergraduate Courses in the Third year.
