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. Continue reading
