BCoE honors faculty

June 9, 2008

Several Bagley College of Engineering faculty members moved to the head-of-the-class recently after being named the recipients of this year’s College of Engineering Faculty Awards. Presented as part of the annual BCoE Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day, the awards recognize achievements in both teaching and research.

Dr. Donna Reese, associate dean for academics and administration, received the Career Achievement Award. This is just the latest accolade in her storied career. Since joining the computer science and engineering (CSE) faculty in 1989 she has held numerous positions in the college. She has also been named a Grisham Master Teacher and Outstanding Faculty Advisor by the National Academic Advising Association.

Reese also was among those receiving this year’s Outstanding Instructional Paper Award. She shared the award with fellow CSE department members Dr. Jeffrey Carver, assistant professor; Lisa Henderson, instructor; and department head Dr. Julia Hodges.

Other award recipients include Outstanding Educator, Dr. David Bridges, an associate professor in aerospace engineering; and Outstanding Researcher, Dr. Jenny Du, an associate professor in electrical and computer engineering. Dr. Ed Swan, associate professor in computer science and engineering, received the Outstanding Research Paper Award.

The College of Engineering Faculty Awards are presented each year to recognize the BCoE’s world-class faculty, researchers and administrators. Congratulations to all of this year’s BCoE award recipients.
