Jim Jozwiak, an instructor in the semiconductor
manufacturing technology program for the Selland College of Applied Technology
at Boise State University, was recently named the 2002 winner of the prestigious
national Motorola Educator of the Year award.
Jozwiak was recognized for his innovation and
excellence in teaching courses and producing outstanding curriculum and teaching
aids that are used nationally and internationally in semiconductor manufacturing
training programs. He was also recognized for his collaborative efforts to
partner with business and industry.
"We are extremely proud of Jim and his
ongoing efforts to create a dynamic high-quality program," said Larry
Barnhardt, dean of the Selland College. "His work is a fine example of our
