Presenters - Two people will present. Those who do not present in the quarter's first presentation will present in the second one.
Time - Each team should take around 12 minutes to present. There is a firm maximum of 15 minutes. This should be equally divided amongst the two people presenting.
Appearance - Please dress in a way that presents a professional image. It is not necessary to "dress up" (ties/suits/dresses are not necessary), but avoid looking sloppy.
Status - Explain where you are in the design process. What major breakthroughs occurred? What things fell apart? What's ahead/on/behind schedule? Are there any looming risks ahead?
Device Drivers (if applicable) - Describe the software interface to each hardware component (device drivers). Highlight major routines and data structures used.
Power Supply (if applicable)- Describe the characteristics of your power supply. You should present results for efficiency, voltage out, and noise. If you have multiple output voltages, describe each one
Prototype Board (if applicable)- Give a tour of your prototype board. Show how each subsystem is designed on your board. You may use your actual board or photos of it
Prototype Mechanical System (if applicable) - Show your prototype system (or videos of it) in action
Mechanical Analytical Models (if applicable) - Describe your models and any validation of testing done using them.
Each individual will be critiqued on the following characteristics:
Content - Each individual should contribute a significant and meaningful portion of the content.
Time - Each individual should speak for an appropriate amount of time. For three people, this is around five minutes, for two people, this is seven or eight minutes.
Visual Aides - You are expected to have quality visual aides to accompany your presentation. You do not have to use PowerPoint - you may use other techniques.

effectively to the audience.
