Professor William Genereaux wins October Quest award
Engineering technology professor, William Genereaux, has been awarded the Quest faculty award by his peers for the month of October.
Quest is a faculty-driven initiative to foster a stimulating learning environment for students through collaborative and interactive sessions among faculty members. The program was created to encourage faculty members to collaborate and create a culture of innovative teaching practices.
It encourages faculty to get involved and to see what is working and what is not working for students in the classroom. The Quest program is all run through the online learning tool, Canvas, where all faculty are put into the program as students. This allows faculty to see Canvas from a student perspective and learn effective ways to introduce the tools Canvas offers within their classrooms.
The program was started this academic year by faculty members: Patricia Ackerman, Jung Oh and Siny Joseph. If you have any questions, please contact Siny Joseph, assistant professor, at siny@k-state.edu. |

Hands-on, applicable experience is a big portion of what makes getting an education on the Kansas State Polytechnic campus so valuable.
Dr. Tara Harl, who is leading the airport management program, has followed this mission by incorporating industry labs into her classes. On Tuesday, the airport planning and management II class spent time on the ramp working with area professionals during an airport rescue and fire demonstration. The students also were instructed by Tim Rogers, executive director of the Salina Airport Authority, during the learning lab.
