For the fourth consecutive year, instructor Hansheng Diao was awarded the Undergraduate and Graduate Engineering Student Councils' Excellence in Teaching Award. This student-nominated award is for a professor or TA who "was especially dedicated, taught the material clearly, and simply deserves to be recognized for the hard work he or she put into the course." These teaching awards are entirely student-run, and any professor or AI instructing an engineering, mathematics, or physics course is eligible.
