Final Team Project Presentations
Logistics and Suggestions

Tuesday - March 13th

1. Your Final Project Presentation will be a "podium-style" presentation using Powerpoint slides in the classroom.

   I require that you email me your PowerPoint slides (.ppt or .pptx) so I can check them for proper display and load them onto my laptop for the presentation.

2. Your presentation should include:

   1. Introduction of team members
   2. One sentence project description
   3. Statement of problem and user population affected
   4. Discussion of interviews with project suggestors and users
   5. Identification and limitations of existing solutions
   6. Magnitude of problem addressed by this project
   7. Statement of need
   8. Description and analysis of all design concepts considered
   9. Description of and rationale for selected design including its key benefits, comparative advantages over existing solutions, performance, user testing and acceptance, safety considerations, etc
   10. Project visualizations: photographs, videos, sketches, drawings, models, prototypes
   11. Future work and challenges for continuing the project, including technical feasibility, engineering difficulty, and estimated cost of a commercial product

   Each team member should participate in the presentation.

   Each team will have about 5 minutes for their presentation.

   Discuss your entire quarter's effort.

3. Each person attending the presentation (including other students) will be asked to judge the quality of your presentation and design solution. (Do not rate your own project.)

4. There may be people from industry attending the presentation, so please dress professionally (no jeans, t-shirts, or flip-flops).

5. Most important - practice your presentation to maximize the quality of its content, clarity, conciseness, completeness, understanding of your design decisions, creativity, pacing, and timing.
