AWARDS

2006 ASEE DELOS Best Paper Award: The Division for Experimentation and Laboratory Oriented Studies (DELOS) Division of American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) recognizes individuals for excellence in the preparation and presentation of a paper in a DELOS session at the ASEE Annual Conference.  A paper on "Assessing Teaching Methods in a Numerical Methods Course" received a 2006  ASEE DELOS best paper award.

2004 ASME Curriculum Innovation Award: The Curriculum Innovation Award recognizes innovation in Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) Education and encourages the dissemination of exemplary curricular innovations throughout the engineering education community. The award is given for curriculum innovations for undergraduate, graduate or continuing education, that 1) have demonstrated a significant advancement in engineering education and have been demonstrated (reduced to practice). 2) Have the potential for significant impact on meeting the changing needs of the engineering profession. 3) Have the ability to be adapted by many schools in an affordable and effective manner. 4) Show a high likelihood of the innovation being widely adopted.  The website was awarded the 2004 ASME Curriculum Innovation Award (read full paper)
