EE x96 Proposal Presentations

Saturday, 9 Sept 2006
Donald Kim Lab, POST 214

In the first presenation, each team will present the proposal for their project this semester. The talk should include the following (in whatever order you prefer):

Introduction of the team, including roles of each member,
Overview of the project,
General discussion of your approach,
What potential problems you foresee for the semester,
What your team expects to learn this semester,
You deliverable goals for the semester (i.e. what your project will DO at the end of the semester),
A proposed schedule (ala Gantt chart) for completing your project by the end of the semester. Include a list of major tasks to be completed with start date and finish date. For each major task list specific sub-tasks with start date, finish date, dependencies and responsible team member. (a copy of your schedule, with progress updates would be a good thing to post on your project web site, as well).

For the proposals, presentations will last 10 minutes, with 5 minutes for questions and between talks.

Because there are so many teams/projects this semester, the presentations will be held in two sessions. For the proposal presentations, I would like all members of all teams to attend both sessions so you can see what other projects are being done this semester. I have specified the order of presentations below for the sessions this time.

For future presentations, teams may give preferences for their order in the session by ONE WEEK before the presentation, and I will try to schedule as close to that as possible. Future sessions will be longer (and may be on different days), but the entire team is expected to attend for the entire session in which they will present. Everyone is welcome to attend both sessions if desired.

Each team should send me the powerpoint file for their presentation by 10 AM on Thursday, 7 Sep. and practice your presentation before your session for timing and flow. I will archive the files and include a link to the them in the schedule below.
