Outstanding Teaching Awards :: Archive
Each year the College of Science and Technology recognizes exceptional professors with the CST Award for Outstanding Teaching.
Professors receive the award based on three criteria: general teaching excellence, based in part on student evaluation and outcome assessment surveys; supervision of student research or internships; and development of new instructional methods or strategies that improve student learning.
