Proposal Of A Teaching Mentoring Program Within The College Of Engineering At Ncsu

One of the main focuses of the North Carolina State University Student Chapter of American Society for Engineering Education has been to propose a teaching mentoring program. NCSU has a teaching mentoring prograrn.called Preparing the Professorate. This program provides graduate students throughout the university with the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member to prepare themselves for developing and teaching courses in their field. Preparing the Professoriate is a well-respected prograW but is only open to about ten students per year. In order to give more engineering students the opportunist y to hone their teaching skills, our student chapter of ASEE decided to propose a similar program within the College of Engineering. This paper describes the process we have used to design and initiate our teaching mentoring program. The current proposal is included in Section 8.
