Oral Presentations
 Slides: Use a large font, 24 pt or more
 Avoid more than 4 or 5 bullets per page
 Avoid fancy graphics that add no value
 Group slides for major points (top-down)
 Avoid reading slides
Your presentation should be 10 to 15 minutes for a design project engineering
team (5-10 min for a team). Due to the limited class time you will be cutoff if
you exceed the upper limit. Evaluation:
 Professionalism - appearance, manner, visual aids
 Clarity - Can we understand what your design is about?
 Organization - Is your talk well-organized? Does it follow a logical
