Devesh Tiwari, a teaching assistant and Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NC State University, has received an Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant Award.

The Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant Awards serves as the primary university-level forum for recognizing exceptional contributions made by Graduate Teaching Assistants to the educational excellence of the University. This annual event is a celebration of excellence in graduate student teaching in the laboratory and classroom. The UGSA Teaching Effectiveness Committee invites the Directors of Graduate Programs (DGPs) to nominate a small number of TAs that exemplify outstanding teaching and mentoring and go beyond what is required of them. All departments are encouraged to participate so that their students receive the recognition they deserve.

Tiwari taught a section of ECE 209 in Fall 2012 and was mentored by Dr. Greg Byrd.

The award ceremony was held on March 18, 2013 at the McKimmon Center.
