UTA: Undergraduate Teaching Assistant

What is a UTA?

An Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) is an undergraduate student that attends their assigned General Engineering class and holds tutoring hours for students outside of the class session. Since the UTAs are also undergraduate students, they understand the problems and relate to the experiences of the students being tutored. Being a UTA is a paid position, and most UTAs work around 8-10 hours each week. To become a UTA, students must have earned an A or B in their enrolled General Engineering courses and hold a GPA of at least a 3.0.
