The award is based upon evidence of distinction in teaching by faculty at an early stage in their careers, including teaching performance, development of new teaching methods, and curricular innovation, in fields of interest to the IEEE Education Society. Nominations must include the candidates statement of teaching philosophy and practice, a maximum of five letters of support from students and peers, and student evaluative data including comments. The committee counts contributions in three categories as having equal weighting in the final decision: teaching performance, development of new teaching methods, and curricular innovation.
