Hi YNPN,

Are you -- or is someone in your network -- looking for a rewarding teaching experience this summer? The MIT Office of Engineering Outreach Programs is hiring instructors and teaching assistants for our Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science (MITES) program!

We're still looking for qualified candidates to be our...

• Humanities Instructor
• Calculus III Instructor
• Digital Design Teaching Assistant
• Engineering Design Teaching Assistant

See below for more details on the individual positions, and please forward along to interested parties.

Humanities Instructor

The MITES Humanities course offers students an introduction to college-level critical thinking and argumentative writing.  The course is divided into two units: “Race, Ethnicity, and American Identity” and “Science and Ethics.” Readings spans various genres, and student work for the course consists of several short writing assignments, an in-class presentation, one formal academic essay and its revision, one personal essay and its revision, and a final group presentation.

As the Humanities Instructor, you will be expected to deliver an engaging and challenging curriculum during the six-week program. You will teach high school seniors at an MIT level, so you should have successfully completed graduate-level coursework in humanities. The time commitment includes 4-6 hours/week for instruction and at least an equal amount of prep time. You will manage an undergraduate teaching assistant (TA) to help your students during the class and tutoring hours. Your TA will also help grade assignments and write mid-course and final evaluations of students.

You will be employed from June 10, 2013 to July 30, 2013. Benefits include a stipend of $4,415.04, free food and free housing.

How to apply

Calculus III Instructor

The MITES Calculus III course offers a review of the related material from first-year calculus (as taught in AP Calculus BC courses) combined with standard material for the differential calculus of functions of several real variables (second-year college Calculus).

As the Calculus III Instructor, you will be expected to deliver an engaging and challenging curriculum during the six-week program. You will teach high school seniors at an MIT level, so you should have successfully completed graduate-level coursework in mathematics. The time commitment includes 4-6 hours/week for instruction and at least an equal amount of prep time. You will manage an undergraduate teaching assistant (TA) to help your students during the class and tutoring hours. Your TA will also help grade assignments and write mid-course and final evaluations of students.

You will be employed from June 10, 2013 to July 30, 2013. Benefits include a stipend of $4,415.04, free food and free housing.

Digital Design Teaching Assistant

The MITES Digital Design elective course began focusing on a new platform last summer: the Apple iPhone. Students spent weeks developing and honing their programming and design skills before tackling final group projects, in which they built functional iPhone applications.

As the Digital Design TA, you will help students during class and tutoring hours, grade assignments, and write mid-course and final student evaluations. Outside of the classroom, you will act as a residential advisor to students to ensure their safety in the dorms and assist the MITES staff during field trips and weekend activities.

You will be employed from June 10, 2013 to July 30, 2013. Benefits include a stipend of $3,640, free food and free housing.

Engineering Design Teaching Assistant

The MITES Engineering Design elective course teaches students a creative design process, based on the scientific method, with lectures and the creation, engineering, and manufacturing of a remote-controlled machine. Students learn to identify problems and create, develop, and select the best strategies using fundamental principles, appropriate analysis, and experimentation. Students then divide their best concept into modules and develop the critical modules first. The class is based off of MIT's 2.007 competition, which is normally taken by mechanical engineering sophomores over a semester. Recent years have seen the students making increasing use of Arduino microcontrollers and various sensors to program autonomous behavior in their robots.

As the Engineering Design TA, you will help students during class and tutoring hours, grade assignments, and write mid-course and final student evaluations. Outside of the classroom, you will act as a residential advisor to students to ensure their safety in the dorms and assist the MITES staff during field trips and weekend activities.

You will be employed from June 10, 2013 to July 30, 2013. Benefits include a stipend of $3,640, free food and free housing.
