During the May 2012 convocation ceremonies, Peter Cripton was among the four Applied Science educators to receive the UBC Killiam Teaching Prizes for Graduate Instruction. The awards are the highest teaching distinction at UBC.
“Demonstrating forced motion using stopwatches and a pendulum made from students’ keys; and using an accelerometer and an oscilloscope to perform modal analysis of a student’s cell phone in class – these are examples of the exciting and engaging learning environment that Prof. Cripton provides his students. His dedication and significant efforts to enrich both undergraduate and graduate teaching has had a transformative impact on many of his students, who refer to him both as their favorite teacher and their mentor – well-deserved words for a dedicated teacher who places students’ learning first.”
Congratulations Dr. Peter Cripton on this accomplishment.
