Outstanding Teacher of the
Year Award
The first Teacher of the Year Award was presented in 1977. This year
the College of Engineering is pleased to honor Joannes
J. Westerink as
the
Teacher of the Year. Since joining the University in 1990, he has earned
the admiration of fellow faculty and students. In fact, students describe
him as “patient, laid-back, and easy to talk to.” They acknowledge
that his classes are demanding, but they characterize him as personable,
approachable, and accessible. “He is interested in getting to know
us on a personal level and wants us to get the best out of his courses.” Westerink
is an associate professor in the Department of Civil Engineering and
Geological Sciences and director of the Environmental Hydraulics Laboratory. http://www.nd.edu/~coast/
