Outstanding Teaching Award: Thomas Piechota, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Nevada, Los Vegas. Tom's teaching/research interests include service-learning, water resources engineering, surface water hydrology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and water resource modeling, climate variability, and long range streamflow forecasting. He also was co-author, along with David E. James and Brian Gauthier, of "Project-Based Learning in a Freshman Engineering Course: University-High School Partnership" presented at the ASEE/PSW April 2003 meeting.
Outstanding Community College Award: Jeffrey Jones, Lead Instructor, Engineering and Technology, Cuesta College. As the program's only full-time faculty member, Professor Jones not only teaches engineering courses, he has been primarily responsible for curriculum development, teaching innovations, and articulation with both local high school and university programs. As a result of his efforts, Cuesta College's engineering program is one of the largest and most respected community college programs in the state of California. Professor Jones actively participates in statewide and national committees dealing with issues in engineering education. This has not only benefited engineering education as a whole, but he has been able to develop a community college program that closely articulates with university programs and meets industry needs.
Outstanding Campus Representative: Sima Parisay, Professor of Engineering in
the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department, California Polytechnic
University, Pomona. Professor Parisay also won this award in 2001. She currently
serves as Web Master for the ASEE/PSW web site. At the April 2003 PSW Executive
Board meeting, Professor Parisay was voted a special commendation for her outstanding
work on the web site.
Lyle McCurdy, Professor of Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, California Polytechnic University, Pomona, will serve as Chair for the PSW Section for 2003-2004. Professor McCurdy has served the PSW Section in many ways over the years. He has been the editor of "Nuggets", the PSW newsletter and an active PSW Board member.
