Winter Quarter 2024

Applications for Spring Quarter 2024 are now closed!

We would like to highlight some daytime classes that generally have at least one TA assigned based on previous quarters –https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rp6W1w8Q6vFJXZbxKJ3TVM68FLn1EytYdHCFpt9N20g/edit?usp=sharing.

This is not a set or complete list since enrollments and class sizes change. The class may or may not get a TA depending on enrollment.  The quarters in which these classes are offered are different, so please check the schedule for the appropriate TA application quarter to determine if the course is being offered.

A resume is required. Please have a section where you list ALL skills (Java, Python, CUDA, OpenCL, GPU,  Verilog, etc.). The rest of your resume should reflect all duties related to teaching, mentoring, tutoring or project leadership, etc.

If you are interested in EE 393, please provide a writing sample. Your essay on an application to your program or a course paper are examples you can use.

Ph.D. students are first priority and usually take a while to get through. Masters and Undergrads are generally not considered until 99% of our PhDs are placed so may take longer to send out offers. Please look into this for a brief summary: TA Assignment Process

 

Course Responsibilities

The following courses are generally offered by ECE, listed with common responsibilities. More information about offered courses and the current instructors can be found here: ECE Time Schedule and Syllabi for daytime students,  PMP Time Schedule for ECE PMP students. Note that TA assignments are dependent on enrollment, so not all classes will be assigned a TA. Should you be offered a TA position, the following are the very minimum expected job duties for each course. Additional job duties may be added by the course instructor, so it is best to have discussions about TA workload and expectations with the instructor during the application process. A course TA is expected to work, on average, up to and no more than 20 hours per week.
