Dr. Erick Moreno-Centeno, assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University, was recently honored with the 2015 Association of Former Students Distinguished Achievement Award in Teaching – College Level. He is one of four faculty members in the Dwight Look College of Engineering selected to receive the award.
Since 1955, the Distinguished Achievement Award has recognized outstanding faculty members at Texas A&M for their talent and commitment to teaching. Award winners will be honored at the college’s annual spring awards banquet in 2016, where they will receive a monetary gift and an award plaque.
A letter from Dr. Guy Curry, professor in Industrial and Systems Engineering, and six letters from students supported Moreno-Centeno’s nomination.
“I feel blessed that my passion for teaching is valued,” Moreno-Centeno said. “I am very grateful to Dr. Curry and all the students who provided the endorsement letters.”
Since joining the department in 2010, Moreno-Centeno has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in operations research and optimization.
