The nine project groups will present their amazing senior projects at an all-day industry-sponsored event &#8212; the culmination of 5 months of creative, collaborative work with their group members, professors, and industry mentors.<\/p>\n<p>I have been working closely with Computer Science Professor Tim Sherwood, helping the groups get ready for presentation day.<\/p>\n<p>What presentation ideas have Tim and I been focusing on to help the groups prepare for their presentations?\u00a0Here are a few of the important things we have been talking about, along with some photos of our preparation and practice sessions:<\/p>\n<p>1. The project story, including the three essential components of the talk: First, the industry problem the group is addressing; second, the nitty-gritty technical details of the project development and execution; and third, the hands on, real-time demonstration of the project itself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/img_0797.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-353\" alt=\"IMG_0797\" src=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/img_0797.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. The organization of the components of the talk: How long should each section be and who will present which part(s)? All members of the group present at least one portion of the 20 minute talk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/img_07791.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-354\" alt=\"IMG_0779\" src=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/img_07791.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3.

Important aspects of delivery: Self-introductions; connection with the audience; volume; fluency; confidence; interaction with other group members; what to do if you cannot remember what to say; how to field audience questions after the talk and how to give clear, direct responses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/img_0765.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-349\" alt=\"IMG_0765\" src=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/img_0765.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow is a big day for the 43 Computer Science, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-great-presentations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
