May 16, 2022 | Engineering and Science, Faculty/Staff, General News, Students

The Louisiana Tech University College of Engineering and Science (COES) announced its 2022 outstanding juniors, seniors, and faculty at its annual crawfish boil, Spring Release.

Faculty and staff nominated outstanding students who were then selected by a special committee, while the junior and senior students voted for the outstanding faculty.

The students selected Dr. Bradley Cicciarelli, Distinguished Lecturer of Chemical Engineering, and Reginald Jeter, Program Chair and Professional-in-Residence of the Construction Engineering Technology, as the 2022 COES Outstanding Professors.

In addition to the outstanding juniors, seniors, and faculty selected by the faculty and students, the engineering honor society Tau Beta Pi selected Biomedical Engineering freshman Cynthia Langkamp from Spring, Texas, as the 2022 Engineering Freshman of the Year.

Spring Release is organized by the Engineering and Science Association, a student-led organization that includes all engineering and science undergraduate students. The Engineering and Science Association coordinates Engineering and Science Day, as well as GumboFest, the annual fall gumbo event, organization browses, and Spring Release.

“These students exemplify the type of student that COES produces,” Dr. Heath Tims, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies at the College of Engineering and Science, says. “These students engage with the Louisiana Tech and COES communities, balancing their academics, involvement, and leadership to be successful stewards of the College of Engineering and Science. We are thankful for the contributions that they have made during their time here.”
