The Engineering Excellence Fund committee presents the Sullivan-Carlson Innovation in Education Award as recognition of one professor each year who makes an extra effort to involve students in hands-on, engaged learning. This may take place through innovative lecture classes, extraordinary lab classes, or through research experiences such as independent study. Nominations are sought exclusively from students and the EEF student committee selects the final winner.
The winner of this award will be announced at the Spring ITLL Program Design Expo. The award recipient will receive $2,000, as well as their name added to a plaque currently on display in the ITLL.
