Meet Our 2012 Recipient
Associate Professor Teng Li won the 2012 E. Robert Kent Outstanding Teaching Award for Junior Faculty. The award has been given since 1986 to honor Clark School junior faculty members for excellence in teaching.
Li’s teaching philosophy – to help students “develop an inquisitive mind in seeking knowledge” - drives the way he approaches the undergraduate and graduate courses he teaches such as ENES220 Mechanics of Materials, ENME382 Engineering Materials and Manufacture, and ENME670 Continuum Mechanics.
Li has been honored not only for inspiring and motivating his students in the classroom, but also for developing educational and research collaborations through iMechanica.org, a blog he co-founded that has become the largest online community of mechanics in the world.
