Congratulations to one of our favorite ISAT professors, Chris Bachmann - the recipient of the 2021-22 GENERAL EDUCATION DISTINGUISHED TEACHER AWARD!

Chris joined JMU in 2004, after receiving his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from UVA. He regularly teaches ISAT 113: Issues in Science and Technology in Cluster Three, which is an interdisciplinary lecture/lab course that is focused on the ways in which biology can be used to solve important problems. There are seven learning objectives in this cluster and the committee was especially impressed by how well his teaching and materials connect with each of these objectives. As one of many examples regarding how Bachmann’s course articulates with the Cluster 3 learning objectives, his peer-to-peer assignments not only get the students engaged with theoretical and applied topics, but the students also serve as teachers to the other students. This level of interactivity and peer-based learning exemplifies one of the goals of General Education, which is to have students “transcend the limits of specialization” and “become skilled in questioning, investigating, analyzing, evaluating, and communicating.”

Remy Pangle, ISAT alum and director of education and outreach at the Center for the Advancement of Sustainable Energy at JMU, tells ABC 13 in Norfolk the importance of training the next generation of renewable energy workers.
