A project conducted by faculty in Bagley College of engineering at Mississippi State University to improve the writing-evaluation of graduate teaching assistants (TAs) in charge of undergraduate laboratories in electrical and computerengineering (ECE). The project began by using writing tutors to work with lab TAs on quality and consistency of their lab-report grading. Results from early exam administrations showed the need for TA support both before and after the exam as well as ongoing performance evaluation. The results show that the every student who took the ESL course performed better on the exam the second time with an average improvement of 57%.
In this paper, we propose an extension to our previous work on food portion size estimation using a single image and a multi-view volume estimation method. The single-view technique estimates food volume by using prio...

One measure of continuous improvement in the Electrical and computerengineering Department (ECE) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is survey feedback from alumni on their workplace readiness. In a recent survey, alumni highlighted oral communication as an area of weakness in the curriculum. When a group of faculty teaching design courses learned about the University's communication Across the Curriculum (CAC) program, they formed a pilot team to focus on improving student oral presentation skills in the design courses. The CAC program focuses on the oral and written communication as playing an integral role in teaching students reasoning, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. And as faculty development program, it seeks to develop a communication enhanced curriculum (CEC) at the departmental level. The CAC program hosts an annual institute during which departmental teams gain professional development in the areas of oral and written communication. At the 2010 CAC Institute, a team of ECE faculty set the strategic goal to improve ECE students' ability to clearly convey technical information orally during design presentations. The ECE team then met with the CAC coordinator to develop an oral communication rubric for uniform implementation, thus establishing a cohesive assessment across the department's design sequence. Our goal with this approach was to improve oral communication skills among our graduates to increase their opportunities for success in their professional careers. We focused on three important skills in oral presentation: Audience analysis, message coherence / focus, and message delivery. A team of five faculty-four from ECE and the CAC director-worked together to develop a rubric to evaluate students oral presentation skills in the sophomore design (ECGR 2252), junior design (ECGR 3157) and senior design (ECGR3253 and ECGR3254) courses. The implementation of the process began by using the rubric in Appendix (a) to evaluate stu

From the perspective of majorization theory, we study how to enhance the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) state by using local filtration operations. We present several schemes achieving entanglement enhancement with photon addition and subtraction, and then consider filtration as a general probabilistic procedure consisting in acting with local (nonunitary) operators on each mode. From this, we identify a sufficient set of two conditions for these filtration operators to successfully enhance the entanglement of a TMSV state, namely, the operators must be Fock orthogonal (i.e., preserving the orthogonality of Fock states) and Fock amplifying (i.e., giving larger amplitudes to larger Fock states). Our results notably prove that ideal photon addition, subtraction, and any concatenation thereof always enhance the entanglement of a TMSV state in the sense of majorization theory. We further investigate the case of realistic photon addition (subtraction) and are able to upper bound the distance between a realistic photon-added (-subtracted) TMSV state and a nearby state that is provably more entangled than the TMSV, thus extending entanglement enhancement to practical schemes via the use of a notion of approximate majorization. Finally, we consider the state resulting from k-photon addition (on each of the two modes) on a TMSV state. We prove analytically that the state corresponding to k=1 majorizes any state corresponding to 2≤k≤8 and we conjecture the validity of the statement for all k≥9.
