James H. Greene Graduate Educator Award in Industrial Engineering

In 1998, the School of Industrial Engineering established an award to honor a given faculty member in recognition of his or her outstanding teaching in the graduate program. Outstanding graduate teaching is interpreted in the broadest sense to include but not limited to classroom teaching, academic advising, research supervision, and student mentoring. In 2000, the award was designed as the James H. Greene Graduate Educator Award in Industrial Engineering. The winner is chosen by a vote of graduate students in Industrial Engineering at the West Lafayette campus.
