Autar Kaw is a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of South Florida. In 2012, he won the U.S Professor of the Year award from the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.[1][2][3][4][5] Kaw's main scholarly interests are in education research methods, open courseware development, flipped and adaptive learning, and the state and future of higher education.

Education

In 1981, Kaw completed BE Honors in Mechanical Engineering from the

Engineering Mechanics.[6]

Career

In 1987, he joined the University of South Florida. Since 2002, the National Science Foundation, a United States government agency, funded[7][8][9][10][11] the development and implementation of an open courseware in Numerical Methods under the leadership of Kaw.[12] The open courseware receives 1.8 million view on YouTube annually.[citation needed] He is the author of various books.[13][14][15]

He is a Fellow of the

scholarship of teaching and learning.[19]
