Senior Design Spring 2013
Presentation Information
May 3, 2013
In addition to completing your senior design, you are required to complete 2 posters and present a presentation to faculty, staff, judges, and corporate partners of the college. Below are the details of these requirements
1. Senior Design Prep Night: April 3rd, 2013 EB 354 at 6:15 (Pizza Served)
Your final presentations will be judged by your faculty advisor, corporate judges from industry, and our Alumni Society, ETAS. ETAS hosts this preperation night to prepare you for the presentation. Don't miss this opportunity to get a head start on your competition.
Matt Kroll from ETAS will give you tips on surviving senior design, explain the rubric by which you are judged (remember...winners get money!), and answer your questions.
2. Open Video Sessions
Practicing your presentations in front of a video camera is a great way to fine tune your communication skills. We will have 2 videographers available to you during time slots on April 16, 17, and 18. You can sign up for sessions during senior design prep night, or the day after via an email that will come to your inbox. You most likely will not be finished with your presentations. But, you can still practice parts of the presentations. Groups or individuals will be given cds to take home and critique.
