Nominated by Sylvia Schoonover, staff

“In addition to improving undergraduate engineering education at ASU, Professor Chell Roberts maintains a focus on individual students. In fact, he cares more about students than anyone I have encountered. Although extremely busy as department chair, his door is always open to students and he continues to teach undergraduate classes.

Professor Roberts works tirelessly to provide undergraduate engineering students with unique opportunities to apply their education and ensure their success. He also fosters a dedication to teaching in the entire department's faculty: encouraging them to be familiar with the scholarship of teaching; organizing professional development activities for faculty with other experts in engineering education; and including successful teaching practices as a major part of the faculty's professional reward structure.”
