Not currently accepting nominations.

Criteria

The award will be made to a senior professor in engineering or architecture in the College of Engineering who has distinguished himself or herself nationally or internationally. The award will be based on excellence in teaching and the qualitative aspects of teaching with emphasis on effective innovation, and for outstanding fundamental or applied research contributions (in scope and/or originality) in one or more areas of endeavor. The award will be presented to an individual and may be awarded only once in a faculty member's career. Under unique circumstances, a team may be nominated for and receive the award.

Nominations

One nomination may be submitted by each department in the college. The nomination packet will include 1.) A letter of nomination, 2.) Supporting materials, 3.) One to three letters of support, and 4.) The nominee's curriculum vitae. Nomination letters should be brief and to the point, yet include sufficient information to permit a rational selection. At least one letter from an external source, solicited without input from the nominee, is required. The total number of supporting letters (including the external letter) should not exceed three.

Reminder: The nomination letter must be two pages or less and be on college or department letterhead. Include a proposed citation (25 words or less) at the bottom of the nomination letter. The committee may disqualify nominations that do not meet this requirement.

Selection Committee

The College of Engineering Faculty Awards Committee will evaluate the awards and make their recommendation to the Dean; one or more representatives from the College of Engineering faculty, one or more representatives external to the University, and one graduate and one undergraduate member of the engineering student body will also review the nominations independently and their selections will be presented to the Dean.

Final decision will be made by the Dean of the College of Engineering.

Deadline

The application materials need to be submitted electronically and must be submitted by January 05, 2025.
