ECE 405 Senior Design Project Presentation

Your presentation should be 15 minutes to 20 minutes. A rough outline is as follows:

1) 3-5 minutes for the intro and problem overview

2) 5-10 minutes for the design description

3) 5-10 minutes for the demo of the project (we want to see it work!)

This is a formal presentation, similar to the 404 presentations. Be sure it is complete, including a good intro and conclusion.

This will be followed by questions from the audience. Make sure you PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE - preferably in front of people, e.g., other students, friends, relatives - whoever you can get to listen! If you are well-prepared this will help to alleviate nervousness - something we all experience.

Your presentation will be evaluated using the following criteria:

Professionalism - appearance, manner, visual aids (use overhead slides or a computer), etc
Clarity - Can we understand what your design is about?
Organization - Is your talk well-organized? Does it follow a logical progression? Is it presented in a top- down hierarchical manner?
Completeness - Are all the parts there? Did you provide a good introduction? Did you provide clear, positive conclusions and/or summary? etc...
Communication - Did you maintain eye contact with the entire audience? Did they understand you ? etc...
Time Limits - Did you stay within the specified time limits?
Demo - provide a complete demo of your working project.
Questions - Were you successful at fielding questions after you presentation? Are you knowledgeable on the subject matter ?
