Excellence in Teaching Awards: Instructions for Heads of Department
ExxonMobil in partnership with
The Royal Academy of Engineering has established
these awards to identify and reward Centres of
Engineering Teaching Excellence in the UK.
Whilst the university department is the major
beneficiary of the award, the application focuses on
the merits of a specific member of staff. The
application process is competitive and only the best
applicants will be selected.
In judging each application
the Assessors will be looking for evidence of an
established and demonstrable track record. This may
be achieved by such details as:
-
a strong and continuing
commitment to teaching and professional
activities;
-
leading or participating
in activities both within and outside of
academia that promote engineering as a rewarding
and creative career;
-
leading or participating
in activities that establish and fully exploit
industrial-academic links;
-
evidence of recognition
and respect for teaching ability from within your department.
As part of the application
process we request that Heads of Department write a
confidential citation for the applicant. The
citation should cover in detail all the points
mentioned above plus any other outstanding
achievements or attributes that you believe make the
applicant worthy of an award.
Citations should be sent in
confidence to Ian Bowbrick and arrive no
later than 30 September 2008.
