The ASEE Middle Atlantic Section is committed to excellence in the instruction of engineering and engineering technology students and annually recognizes an outstanding engineering or engineering technology teacher from the section. This individual is then nominated as the Mid-Atlantic Section's representative for the ASEE National Outstanding Teaching Medal.
The Award: The annual award, presented at the spring meeting of the section, consists of a $500 honorarium and a certificate of recognition.
Candidates must be members of the ASEE Middle Atlantic Section who teach any subject included in an accredited engineering or engineering technology curriculum that leads to an engineering or engineering technology degree. In addition to engineering courses, the subjects may include mathematics, science and other required subjects in engineering and technology curricula. The award recipient must agree to attend the spring meeting at which the award is presented. Otherwise, the award will be given to the next highest ranked candidate who agrees to attend. Exceptions will be made for emergency conditions.
The teacher as an individual should have a broad and accurate knowledge of his or her field and possess a sense of proportion, stressing fundamentals at the expense of trivial details. Teachers should challenge their students with assignments that stimulate interest and enthusiasm for the subject while requiring thought form completion. Teachers should be active counselors for their students before graduation and be available and willing to provide counseling for their former students after graduation.
The teacher's contributions to the profession should include course, curriculum and laboratory development and the sharing of these accomplishments through conference presentations and journal article publications.
Any member of the section may nominate candidates for this award by preparing a nomination package that must include a nomination form, a citation, a nomination rationale statement, a curriculum vitae, and evidence of accomplishments. Supporting letters from colleagues and former students are required.
Nomination forms will be sent out to all members of the Middle Atlantic Section by the Middle Atlantic Section Awards Committee. An original and three copies of the nomination package must reach the Middle Atlantic Section Awards Chairperson by January 15. The mailing address of the Section Awards Chairperson may be found in the fall newsletter.
