Grodzinsky

Grodzinsky, who has taught at the university since the fall of 1983, is chairman of the computer science and engineering department. The award was based on nominations from faculty, students and administrators, and on consistantly high teaching ratings by students .

"I have never been disappointed by Professor Grodzinsky," one student wrote in nominating him for the award. "His classes pass in a blink, always leaving me anxious to find out the rest. Encouraging students to analyze facts and come up with conclusions of their own, his teaching style has appealed to me more than most other teachers’, making my academic experience at the University of Bridgeport a truly enjoyable one."

Grodzinsky had similar ratings from his dean, Tarek M. Sobh. "Professor Grodzinsky," Sobh wrote, "is an excellent teacher, judging by the quality of his student projects, the level of his class assignments and examinations and his involvement of students in exciting laboratory development projects in several areas within computer and digital design."

Grodzinsky has his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois.
