Presentations

Fall

An oral presentation is required at the end of the term and serves several purposes:

• Inform other senior design teams of your project and the progress you are making.
• Provide an opportunity for you to distill the important components from your project and describe them in a clear and concise manner.
• Prepare to present your project to the public.

Be sure to plan and rehearse your team presentation so that you can clearly communicate what your team has accomplished and how each team member has contributed to the effort. Demonstrations of your product or system are encouraged. Ideally you will find a time to rehearse in the same room you will present in so that you can ensure that any devices that need to be connected to the projector do so smoothly.

The presentation should clearly describe:

• the goal and scope of the project
• why your project is important (demonstrate a need/demand for it)
• discussion of one or two challenges and how you dealt with them and/or an interesting technology that you've made good use of in your project
• summary of work completed prior to the just ended sprint
• sprint review of just ended sprint
• a demonstration of current functionality
• list of high priority PBIs likely to be completed in the next two or three sprints
• discussion of improvements to your software process

Your presentation will be evaluated based on the following components:

• Organization
• Content
• Knowledge
• Collaboration
• Delivery

Spring

This term you will create a brief non-technical video describing your project.

This presentation has multiple audiences:

• General Public
• Family Members
• Friends
• Prospective Students

The video should be no more than three minutes and captivate the interest of the audience. It should be visually appealing and include a robust demonstration. Focus on the problem that needed to be solved and how your project addressed it.
