The College of Engineering recognizes teaching excellence at the department level with Excellence in Teaching Awards. Awards are presented annually to one faculty member and one graduate student teaching assistant in each department for their strong commitment to the educational mission and vision of the college. Awardees consistently exceed expectations in teaching and mentoring the next generation of engineers and leaders.

This year, Professor Francis Assadian, from the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, is the recipient of the 2024 Teaching Excellence Award.
