Experience of the Graduate Assistants in the Capstone course
The paper presents the experience of five Graduate Assistants (GAs) in the capstone class in the Computer Engineering Technology (CET) program in the Engineering Technology Department, College of Technology (CoT) at the University of Houston. The GAs in the capstone course perform important roles that exceeds the traditional expectation of grading homework and proctoring exams. It is a challenge for the GAs to perform and deliver timely results to the students and faculty advisor. The course is highly demanding and rewarding for the students, GAs and the faculty advisor. The one year course is run like a professional company wherein the students are required to design and construct project prototypes and keep the GAs and faculty advisor updated regarding the progress on their projects on a weekly basis. The GAs evaluate student and teams performance, showcase student projects in various events and conferences, conduct and compile several surveys, maintain all tools and parts inventory of the lab, assist teams prepare posters and brochures for events and conferences and last but not the least assist students in preparing technical papers. The GAs go through a rigorous screening and interview process before they are hired [1, 2] and then participate in intensive training before and during the semester [3]. The Graduate Assistant not only acts as a catalyst for the growth of the students but also plays an important role in checking and appraising the students in an unconventional and wholistic way as compared to the way a normal GA works and contributes to a class.
