Dr. Tony Schmitz, is the winner of the 2018 Bank of America Award in Teaching Excellence.  Dr. Schmitz has taught 10 different courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. He said his role in every course is to "train decision makers not problem solvers.” An example of this self-described, paradigm-shifting pedagogy can be found in his Junior Design course in which he explains to students: “Design requires creativity, and there is not just one correct answer."  Dr. Schmitz is a professor of mechanical engineering at UNC Charlotte's Lee College of Engineering.
