An interactive website teaching about mass and energy balances in buildings (www.ce.utexas.edu/bmeb) received the university provost’s highest honor during its annual Innovative Instructional Technology Awards Program.
Michael Waring a doctoral student in the Indoor Environmental Science and Engineering, developed the website under supervising professors Jeffrey Siegel in architectural engineering and Richard Corsi in environmental engineering. Waring worked in concert with the College of Engineering’s Faculty Innovation Center staff director Kathy Schmidt, with David Dinh, Randy Henning, Matt Mangum, Michael Jeong-won Woo, Hyo-Jin Yoon and Erik Zumalt.
Awards are given each year to faculty who incorporate technology into their teaching. Gold, silver and bronze awards are sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Division of Instructional Innovation and Assessment.
The website’s development was supported with funds from the College of Engineering, and the National Science Foundation’s Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training Program on Indoor Environmental Science and Engineering at The University of Texas.
