The '''[[College of Engineering]] Sporn Award''' is given annually to an engineering faculty member who has demonstrated excellence in undergraduate instruction. The award is administered by the Awards and Scholarships committee of the [[Student Engineers' Council]] (SEC), with the final vote cast by the General Assembly of the SEC. Plaques naming each recipient reside in the Dean's office in [[Torgersen Hall]] beside the plaques for the [[Wine Award]]. While websites such as [[Rate VT Teachers]] and [[Koofers]] have historically been used to determine the best professor to pick for a given class, the Sporn Award winners list provides perhaps an even more trustworthy resource for engineering students faced with such decisions.
