Dr. Joe Stanley, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, was recently presented with IEEE-USA’s Professional Achievement Award for Individuals. An IEEE senior member, Stanley was honored for his contributions to Project Lead the Way (PLTW), a nationwide K-12 STEM program that provides educators with intensive summer training at leading universities. Together with three “master teachers,” Stanley has co-trained about 150 teachers in a digital electronics course over the last decade and has helped develop new resources for PLTW to enhance teachers’ effectiveness in presenting the curriculum to students.
