Congratulations to FAST professors Dr. Srinivas Ganapathyraju and Dr. Mozammel Khan, who each received a 2018 Outstanding Educator Award from the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).
According to the OACETT website, this award is granted to an individual “who has made a significant contribution to the training and education of engineering/applied science technicians and technologists.” The award specifically recognizes a “sustained record of teaching excellence over many years, and not for one specific year or singular accomplishment.”

Srinivas has an impressive history both prior to and after coming to Sheridan in 2003. Srinivas assisted in the development of the CAMDT Lab within the School of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering (MEET). He was also instrumental in the development of four new MEET programs. In addition to his teaching and coordinating duties, Srinivas is active in applied research, providing valuable opportunities for his students, bringing in government funding and assisting industry partners in utilizing new developments in technology and information.
Dr. Mozammel Khan
Professor and Coordinator, Quality Assurance (Post Grad) Program
In addition to the Outstanding Educator Award, Mozammel was awarded the 2018 Honorary Membership Award for his “significant contribution to the development of the profession of engineering/applied science technology”.
