College of Engineering Teaching Excellence Award

College of Engineering Teaching Excellence Award

Established in 1995, the College of Engineering Teaching Excellence Award is funded through an endowment by an alumnus and his spouse in appreciation for the excellent teaching that he received during his student days. In support of undergraduate instruction, the donors seek to improve the excellence of teaching in the college by providing an annual teaching award that will motivate teachers to increase the educational impact they make on their students. From the endowment's net income, one recipient receives a monetary award.

The recipient will be the top-ranked nominee (by the College of Engineering Teaching Awards Subcommittee) among the College of Engineering candidates for the Campus Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching.

Note: If a person wins the college award but not the campus award, that person can be renominated at any time for the campus award.
