Instructors with 75 percentile or higher evaluation scores in four groups — small, medium, large and very large courses — were recognized as outstanding teachers for the spring 2026 semester.

The Purdue University College of Engineering recognized faculty, lecturers and other staff for outstanding dedication to teaching students in a Purdue Exponent ad on March 2.

For the recognition, individual teacher averages were calculated based on six CIE teacher evaluation survey questions related to instructor effectiveness on a five-point scale in undergraduate or graduate classes in engineering with enrollments of 10 and above and 50% or higher response rates. Instructors with 75 percentile or higher evaluation scores in four groups — small, medium, large and very large courses — were recognized for the spring 2026 semester.
