The Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Award
for Excellence in Engineering Teaching
For 51 years, Lockheed Martin, has sponsored an award for excellence in engineering teaching to reward a College of Engineering faculty member for exceptional teaching.
This prestigious award is given to a faculty member dedicating time and energy in abundance to teaching undergraduate and graduate students. As a result, his or her work leaves a mark of excellence on the entire College of Engineering.
Nominations for this award are made by The University of Texas at Austin engineering students and faculty. Final selection is made by a committee composed the five most recent faculty recipients of the award and the student presidents of the Student Engineering Council (SEC) and the Graduate Engineering Council (GEC).
The 2006 recipient of the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Award for Excellence in Engineering Teaching is Dr. Chandra Bhat, Professor of Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering.
Dr. Bhat will be recognized along with other faculty award recipients at an awards ceremony in November.
In addition to the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Award for Excellence in Engineering Teaching, the College also recognizes the recipient of the Award for Outstanding Engineering Teaching by an Assistant Professor, Dr. Oguzhan Bayrak, Assistant Professor, Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering.
