A faculty committee selected Prof. Bishop as the recipient of the 2008 Civilian Faculty Teaching Award!
He was selected from an extremely competitive yard-wide field. The committee praised him for his efforts in creating the Systems Engineering Honors Major, and for
starting two of our most popular courses:
Mobile Robot Design (ES451)
and Emerging Technologies (ES502).
The Honors Major lets our top students challenge and distinguish themselves in special courses. The students engage in a year long research project with a faculty mentor. We're the only Group I major to have one.
Mobile robots is a true design experience where students build 8 different robots through the semester to compete in a variety of challenges. Emerging Technologies is a unique course that tries to give students a framework to think critically about the scientific, economic and sociental implications about new technologies such as nanoscience, cybernetics, etc.
