Described here is a one-day workshop that is designed to help you (the graduate student in engineering, science, or math) improve your scientific and technical presentations. The workshop has two goals: (1) to help you identify and articulate the differences between strong and weak presentations; and (2) to help you improve a presentation on which you are currently working. The workshop consists of lectures, discussions, and exercises. |

Presentation Assignment In a follow-up session, you are to make a short presentation about a technical project on which you are working. Your presentation, which should be no more than 10 minutes and contain no more than 6 slides, should identify the project, justify the importance of that project, map the middle of what would be a complete presentation of that project, and then present one or two slides from the body. To create these slides, you are asked to download a slide template from the list at the top left corner of this web page.
