Description
口头沟通,并提出新的想法和建议是一个对于任何工程项目的要求的关键。
一个很好的演示的想法可能意味着差异
之间的项目继续或终止。
每队需要出示其EWB挑战项目。
Oral communication and the presentation of new ideas and recommended designs are a key
requirement for any engineering project. A good presentation of ideas can mean the difference
between a project continuing or being terminated.
Each team will need to present on its EWB Challenge project. The presentation should cover the
major activities and process used to develop the final design solution. Your team will need to give a
team presentation. This means all team members must speak and present.
The presentation needs to be 12min long, followed by around 3mins of questions. The presentation
should provide the following information:
• practical group, team name and number, and names of team members
• the design topic selected by the team
• relevant background material
• concepts examined during the project
• the chosen concept and a justification for its selection
• the final design concept
• a bill of materials
• the cost of the final design
• how the design would be introduced, implemented and operated
• other information you consider important or relevant to explain your design
Marking Criteria
The presentation will be assessed according to:
• demonstration of being organised and well‐prepared for the presentation
• effective use of visual communication tools including slides, PowerPoint presentation,
whiteboard, physical artefacts or models and good use of clear, well‐labelled pictures and
graphics to help the audience visualise your work and design
• effective use of oral communication including appropriate language, clear voice projection,
eye‐contact with the audience rather than screen or whiteboard, engaging approach to
communication, ‘talking with’ rather than ‘reading to’, enthusiasm and energy from al
speakers
• effective time management covering an appropriate quantity of material covered, well
paced, consistent speed and flow throughout, met timeframe for presentation well (+/‐ 1
minute)
• content of presentation including a clear, logical structure to the talk which is easy to follow,
the depth of discussion of the different issues including justification rather than a statement
of the facts, project context well established at the beginning of the talk and an appropriate
conclusion, not just an abrupt finish
• teamwork including smooth handover between speakers, appropriate allocation of material
and coordination between speakers and slide‐turner
• handling of questions including demonstration of understanding in responses to questions
and answered what was actually asked
Model or Prototype
As part of your http://www.ukthesis.org/thesis_sample/ presentation you will need to display the physical model or prototype your team has
built. Depending on your topic and design this could be:
•规模的模式,如社区会堂或房子。
•一个工作原型,它的功能或行为的设计。这可能是一个
设计的原型,也可能是系统的一个关键因素。
每队需要他们的模型或原型的原材料。
• a scale model, such as community hall or house.
• a working prototype, which functions or behaves as the design would. This may be a
prototype of the whole design, or one key element of the system.
Each team will need to source materials for their model or prototype. In keeping with the theme of
the project, recycled and waste materials are encouraged to be used. You can use photo’s of your
model or prototype in your final project report.
Timing, Location and Preparation
To ensure presentations run smoothly, each team must:
• email their presentation to the course coordinator before the presentation starts
• bring their presentation to the room (on a memory stick or USB drive)
A computer or laptop will be provided in the room.
Presentations will take place during your practical timeslot. All presentations will be in week 12,
regardless of the week you normally have your practical.
Most presentations will take place in N101 in the computer science building, but a timetable of
locations and groups will be posted on the course Wattle site.
