Dear CEE Students,
Professor Laura Lowes is seeking a 20-hr per week undergraduate teaching assistant or graduate student grader for the junior-level CEE 337 Construction Materials class this fall (9/26 – 12/16). The course provides an introduction to the behavior of common civil engineering materials including concrete, asphalt, steel, aluminum and wood via lectures and laboratory sections in which students mix concrete, cast concrete cylinders and beams, and conduct common material tests of concrete, steel, aluminum and wood samples to determine material properties used in design and construction. A graduate student grader for this class will be required to grade various student productions (e.g., homework assignments, lab reports and quizzes) as well as provide additional support for the class as needed (e.g., creating online quizzes). An undergraduate teaching assistant for this class will be required to support the activities listed above as well as support the CEE materials lab manager and CEE 337 graduate teaching assistant in teaching the material lab sections on Thursdays of each week. While the scope of activities is larger for the undergraduate teaching assistant, no more than 20 hrs per week of work will be required. The hourly rate for these positions has been established by the UW at $17.79/hr for undergraduate students and $21.49/hr for graduate students.
If you would like to be considered for one of these positions, please email Professor Lowes: lowes@uw.edu, as soon as possible, but no later than COB Thursday, September 22. Please include the following in your email:
- Whether you are applying for a position as a graduate student grader or an undergraduate teaching assistant,
- brief statement as to why you want this job,
- your construction engineering coursework experience (did you take CEE 337 at UW or a similar class elsewhere?)
- relevant internships / job experience
- availability to participate in lab sections Thursdays from 10:30 – 12:20 and 1:30 – 3:20 (only undergraduates need provide this information)
