Faculty and staff are asked to encourage graduate students who are currently or will be teaching at the postsecondary level to apply for the College of Engineering Graduate Student Teaching Fellows program. This is a one-year competitive program that allows graduate students to engage with evidence-based teaching methods applicable to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Graduate students will learn to become effective teachers through active participation in a peer-observation program, learning evidence-based course design and development, structured discussions with faculty mentors, and taking part in a 3-hour credit course focused on teaching. Upon completion of the program, participants are awarded a non-degree certificate of completion and named a College of Engineering Graduate Student Teaching Fellow. Students will simultaneously earn associate level certification through the CIRTL@Nebraska program (go.unl.edu/cirtl) to be named a CIRTL Associate.

For program requirements and to apply, visit https://engineering.unl.edu/ecec/gsteaching/. For questions, contact Dr. Tareq Daher at tareq.daher@unl.edu
