Abstract
This paper presents a study of communication and leadership skill development in graduate students after participating in a program for cooperative faculty/graduate student teaching. Specifically, we discuss collaboration with experienced faculty to teach and design undergraduate Electrical Engineering curricula and the impact of developing these nontraditional skills in decisions regarding a future faculty career. Graduate student teaching advances the student's knowledge not only in curriculum design but also allows fine tuning for methods of professorial leadership and mentorship, all characteristics desired by institutions with strong undergraduate engineering programs. Developing a collaborative program that enables graduate students to take on the role of course instructor while working closely with faculty benefits both parties; it can specifically provide a preview of faculty demands for the graduate student prior to committing to an undergraduate institution.
