John Falconer selected for Fellow Member recognition by the American Society for Engineering Education
In recognition of Mel and Virginia Clark Professor Emeritus John Falconer鈥檚 decades of work and service, the American Society for Engineering Education has selected him to become a Fellow Member.
Falconer has had a big impact on students throughout his career. He鈥檚 been teaching chemical engineering courses at 麻豆免费版下载Boulder since 1975, guiding thousands of students to go on to successful, impactful careers as chemical and biological engineers. From instruction to research to his interactive resources, his strength as an educator cannot be overstated.
鈥淚t was very gratifying to be selected as a fellow since they limit the number of new fellows in a year to 0.1% of the ASEE membership,鈥 Falconer said. 鈥淎n important factor in my selection was the word on LearnChemE, which was developed in collaboration with Janet deGrazia, Will Medlin, Katherine McDanel, Michelle Medlin and many others.鈥
The describes induction into the Academy of Fellows as an 鈥渦nusual professional distinction and conferred by the Board of Directors upon an ASEE member with outstanding and extraordinary qualifications, and experience in engineering or engineering technology education or allied field, and ASEE contributions.鈥
Previously, Falconer received the ASEE Chemical Engineering Division Lifetime Achievement Award (2017), which is awarded to engineering educators who have made frequent and long-term contributions to the field.
Falconer will receive the award at the 2019 ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition on Wednesday, June 19 at the Tampa Convention Center.
