The students may apply for Learning Assistantships (LAs) and Administrative
Assistantships (AAs). These assistantships are offered primarily
on the basis of outstanding academic and professional achievement.
Each trimester the administration works with the faculty to assign
Las. The purpose of LAs are to assist faculty by grading student
homework and to help students by holding office hours in order to
tutor students who have questions about the instructor's class.
They are available at the LA office when the instructors may not
be available.

computer systems and administrative services for students including
computer systems support, campus direction, school information and
administrative routine assistance.
The objectives of offering assistantships are as follows:
- To provide students with more convenient assistance in mastering
knowledge they have learned in class;
- To promote student-to-student and student-to-faculty communication
and academic contact;
- To improve assistants' abilities in solving problems as team
leaders and in-handling assignments as qualified professionals.
Industrial cooperative projects and internships opportunities
Highly selective internship opportunities are available for qualified
students with a number of local companies. For further information,
