*** TA opportunities for APSC 200/293 for the Winter 2023 term will be posted in November (for CHEE/ENCH, GEOE and MME sections) ***
Fourth-year undergraduate students are invited to apply for an Undergraduate Teaching Assistantship (TA) in APSC 200/293 for Fall 2023.
The courses are related to design and communication, so strengths in these areas are strongly preferred. Students from all engineering and applied science disciplines are welcome to apply, although some background in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering physics, or engineering mathematics would be advantageous.
TA duties will include assisting students during design and communication workshops, providing guidance and feedback to design project teams, marking assignments, reports, and presentations, and entering grades. Any necessary training will be included in the TA assignment.
The employability skills that are considered important and that will be further developed by this position include:
Applicants chosen for an interview will be asked to complete a writing assessment, and successful applicants must have demonstrated the high level of technical communications and English proficiency required for these positions.
Fall term TA contracts run Sept 1 – Dec 31, 2023. Remuneration is $20.65/hour plus 4% vacation pay. Total hours may range from 60-80 hours per term, depending on assigned section and duties.
TAs will be assigned to a section and must be available in-person for the section’s two 2-hour weekly workshop times shown below (although both of the times will not always run every week). We will attempt to assign TAs to a section of their discipline or preference, but this is not always possible due to multiple scheduling constraints. Therefore, please indicate in the online application form all of the following section numbers (200, 203, 204) which fit within your timetable (even if they do not match your discipline). If you are at present uncertain about some of your availability, you can provide details at the end of your online application form:
