Each team will receive their own schedule and station location. The schedule will tell you when and where you will be presenting and which teams you will be going to see.

General Expectations:

1. Need some sort of presentation a Presentation tool
   • This can be a handout, PowerPoint on a laptop, poster, etc.
   • Be creative, but what ever you decide to use should clearly show what your team has accomplished this semester and what you plan to accomplish by the end of the semester.
   • Make sure that whatever you use it is visible and easy to follow.
2. Each team will make six 5-10 minute talks. It is up to you how would like to split up presentation time but each member of your team should talk for about the same amount of time.
   • Make sure you practice the timing of your talks. Once time is up, teams will need to rotate to another station and therefore your presentation will get cutoff.
3. Keep your audience in mind
   • Not everyone has had fluid mechanics, however assume you are speaking to an engineering audience
4. Great visuals, less text
   • What does the text say that you cannot? Try to remove the text and provide an image or a demo that you will explain in words when you present. Short notes can be useful to the audience as well.
   • If you have a table, what point do you want the table to make? Does it do that? Would another visual be better (i.e. a graph)?
   • If you have a graph, the audience should be able to look at it without explanation and understand where we should be focused (but not necessarily the interpretation or conclusions from it). It should have readable axis labels, a title, appropriate units, and grid lines if needed.

5. Equations
   • They may be intimidating and even unnecessary. Can you get away with naming the equation and explaining what it calculates? Or do we need to see the variables behind it?
