Ge Nominated for 2024 CSU Teaching Excellence Award

TSYS School assistant professor of computer science Linqiang Ge has been nominated by the Turner College's Awards & Scholarships Committee for the 2024 CSU Teaching Excellence Award. This award recognizes and rewards the efforts of faculty members who develop and practice innovative methodologies in pedagogy. It showcases the creative innovations of the faculty members that facilitate enhanced learning, and specifically focuses on the uniqueness of the "program actions" that increase student interest and drive achievement. This award recognizes the effort and documentation of outcomes by the faculty member attempting to create a new learning strategy or methodology and celebrates the faculty's willingness to expand boundaries of traditional and established teaching strategies. Since joining CSU in the Fall of 2020, Ge has served as instructor of record for a number of different course preparations, three of which -- CYBR 3136, focusing on wireless, IoT, and mobile security; CYBR 4146, encompassing network virtualization, cloud computing, and communication; CYBR 6228, dedicated to global cybersecurity -- he proactively developed and then delivered. Even with all of the activity, Ge has maintained semester-wide average teaching evaluation scores ranging from 4.35 to 4.63 (out of 5). Lastly, students in Ge's CYBR 3131 course benefit from a research project supported by a university grant Ge received in 2020. These students learn to build up a dynamic and powerful wireless network in open field using a high-performance drone to explore security concerns in in real-life scenarios. Ge's CSMT 6228 students are learning from a case study he designed that requires them to systematically analyze the current national cyber situation and forecast any potential future cyber war in the future. Two students from that course are now working with Ge on their theses in cybersecurity. Turner Business wishes Linqiang the best of luck in April 2024, when the winner of the award will be named.
