This course satisfies the MIE Elective for Mechanical Engineering majors.

This class comprises two main parts. The majority of your time will be spent as an undergraduate teaching assistant in a course. See the first activity below for suggestions on what you should discuss with the professor of your course. The second component involves periodic meetings in class, which will consist of a discussion and some additional assignments and activities.
