Excellence in Teaching Awards: Instructions for Referees
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 their department.
As part of the application
process we request supporting letters from two
referees in addition to a confidential citation from
the Head of Department. As a nominated Referee we
would be grateful to receive your opinion on the
suitability of the applicant in question for a
prize. The selection criteria detailed above will
hopefully provide a useful guide for composing your
letter of support otherwise please do not hesitate
to contact us if you have any questions.
Letters should be sent to
Ian Bowbrick and arrive no later than 14
October 2011.
