Fall 2020 introduced new teacher evaluation survey questions, including 10 quantitative questions regarding instruction, on a 5-point scale. EPICS and VIP students were surveyed on instructional aspects relevant to experiential courses. Individual teacher averages are calculated across these quantitative measures.

These faculty, lecturers and other staff who taught Engineering classes had rounded up averages of 4.6 or more in undergraduate or graduate classes with enrollments of 10 and above and 50% or higher response rates based on student evaluations from courses taught in Engineering in spring 2021.

“I am humbled and thankful for this recognition by AIChE, especially because solving the issue of climate change and resource sustainability is an urgency for our planet now.”

The ABE program was listed as #3 among best 19 online master's in biotechnology.

“My grandfather said if you study engineering you can do anything you want. Engineers are innovators, and innovators understand how to read the future,” Howard added. “And I think he was right. That course of study is what prepared me for my own entrepreneurial undertakings.”

“Bovine respiratory disease is a complex syndrome with multiple infectious agents, including bacteria and viruses,” Verma said. “And the emergence of antibiotic resistance has definitely complicated this issue. But I feel confident we can develop biosensors that can be used in the field that determine which pathogen is present. Biosensors are low-cost and user-friendly. Since our biosensors incorporate most of the complexity within the device, users will require minimal training. With support from FFAR and our industrial partners we will be able to create a diagnostic solution that will reduce losses, improve productivity and reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance.”
