Program Administration

In its current form, the program is a joint effort of three entities across Cornell. The program is housed in the Office of Instructional and Research Support (OI&RS) in the College of Engineering and is headed by the Lisa Schneider. The program seeks valuable input and relies on expertise in the area of education by interacting closely with the Center for Learning and Teaching at Cornell University. Dr. Virleen Carlson (Assistant Director of Instructional Support in the University-wide Center for Learning and Teaching) brings her vast experience in the field of education and a broader perspective well beyond engineering. The third entity is a group of 8 TA fellows selected by the College of Engineering. One of them is selected as a Head TA Fellow (generally one of the returning fellows). These TA fellows bring their first hand experiences as TAs from the classrooms at Cornell.
