Our instructors play an important role in our undergraduate and MITB education. They complement our faculty, by bringing industry-based software technology skills and experience to our course designs, case studies, labs and projects. 

The SCIS Outstanding Instructor Award is created to recognize excellence among our instructors.

SMU alumnus Jeremy Lee received the award for advancing sustainable household solutions and cutting single-use plastics.

SMU CIS which oversees the SMU Core Curriculum, has established these awards to recognise outstanding faculty members and adjunct instructors who have demonstrated excellence in teaching and a strong commitment to student learning within the Core Curriculum. Each academic year, awardees are selected for each of the three pillars of the Core Curriculum - Capabilities, Communities and Civilisations. Recipients of three consecutive teaching awards are inducted in the Hall of Fame.
