Job Description
A Junior Teaching Assistant will be hired to facilitate MGT 103 Introduction to Entrepreneurship to aid the course coordinator, instructors, and head TA with leading students through their course work. MGT 103 typically meets on Mondays and Fridays, but work is expected to last throughout the week. Certain tasks focused on arranging and maintaining students, teams, and course sections may also be asked of the Junior Teaching Assistant by the SES Director of Undergraduate Studies and SES Assistant Director of Core Engineering and Science Education from time to time, when those duties do not interfere with their other roles.
This position is designed for currently enrolled, full-time status, Senior Undergraduate Students (graduating in Spring 2024) in an Engineering program at Stevens Institute of Technology who will be taking part in a one-year AMP Program after graduation (Fall 2024 and Spring 2025).

MGT 103 Head TA for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025
IDE 401 Senior Innovation II: Value Proposition TA for Fall 2024
IDE 402 Senior Innovation III: Venture Planning and Pitch Head TA for Spring 2025
* This is a semesterly appointment for MGT 103 only. Being hired for one course/semester does not automatically predicate hiring for any other courses in any semester.
Activities:
Assisting course coordinator with course section logistics and instructor onboarding
Assisting adjunct professors with day-to-day requests regarding course continuity
Monitoring student / student team progress throughout the semester
Synthesizing analysis of past experiences, student discussions, mid-semester surveys, and end-of-semester evaluations to suggest course improvements
Collecting and documenting detailed meeting minutes
Gathering and distributing course material to section instructors
Other duties (within reason) as directed by the MGT 103 Course Coordinator, MGT 103 Head TA, Assistant Director of Core Engineering and Science Education, and Director of Undergraduate Studies
Though the Junior Teaching Assistant will work most closely with the MGT 103 Head TA and MGT 103 Course Coordinator, the position will report to and submit hours to the SES Director of Undergraduate Studies.
