EEE 724 Electrical Project Seminar 3 credit hours

By the end of the course learners will be able to the learner will examine best practices and
implement them for designing, developing and presenting a quality scientific presentation
using a presentation software. The learner will practice critical evaluation of other students’
work.
Content
Students will create and deliver a PowerPoint presentation on an active area of research that
is currently under investigation. The topic may be of particular interest to you (e.g., a
potential Thesis topic, or extracts from thesis), or may be in an area that is alien to you.
However, the presentation must report on active, cutting edge research. It is expected that this
presentation will last 12 to 15 minutes at a time, followed by short time for questions from
the audience.
Students will be evaluated according to their participation in discussions, critique of fellow
students, written abstract, presentation, and ability to perform the course expectations in a
professional and prompt manner.
