Eight engineering PhD students have been selected to receive a School of Engineering (STI) Teaching Assistant Award for their outstanding commitment to education in EPFL bachelor and master courses during the spring 2024 semester.
The STI Teaching Assistant Award, introduced in 2022, is an initiative of the School of Engineering to reward the extraordinary involvement of PhD students in lectures given in the bachelor and master cycles of the four sections of the school.
Every semester, some 400 School of Engineering PhD students take on teaching duties. The demand is so great that around 40% of them are called upon to support classes led by other laboratories. Each semester, the awards are attributed by the award committee based on nominations by the teachers.
The honor is open to all teaching assistants. The eight below were selected to receive the award for spring 2024, out of 21 nominations. Congratulations!
