Robert Paranich, assistant profes- sor of electrical engineering at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, was rated the best engineering instructor on any of Penn State’s 17 commonwealth campuses scattered throughout the state. The rating was determined by a survey of 3,900 former 1982-83 engineering students at all the cam- puses.. Paranich has taught electrical engineering and physics at the Lehman campus for 19 years. He believes his effectiveness as a teacher comes largely from spend- ing a great deal of time outside the classroom helping his students find ways to apply what they’ve learned in class. He holds a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from Drexel University and a master’s degree in physics from Wilkes College. Paranich resides in Port Griffith with his wife, Barbara, !
