ResumoA course on "introduction to computing environments" is taught each year to roughly 1500 first- year engineering students at North Carolina State University. In the Fall 2006 semester, the course was revised to accommodate the use of student-owned notebook computers in class, provide better integration between lectures and labs, and increase the extent of active student involvement during class. A program to train the 37 undergraduates who taught the course was designed, implemented, and assessed. This paper outlines the structure of the training program and reports on the assessment outcomes.
