Acknowledge anyone that has helped you

3. Agenda Background Problem Requirements Demo Design Constraints
This is your talk outline. Don’t change it.
Try to do this with one slide per item, except for Design where you will need more than one slide. Demo should be a video and must explicitly show that you have met your requirements. The Demo is the most important part of this presentation.

4. Background First level Second level
Third level
Here describe the background to your project. The
background should be sufficient so that your problem
statement makes sense to your audience.
One or two slides should do it.
Do not discuss your solution here.

5. Problem First level Second level Here describe your problem in one or
Third level
Here describe your problem in one or
two concise and precise sentences.
Problems are usually stated as questions.
Do not discuss your solution here.

6. Requirements First level Second level
Third level
Here list your requirements. They should
match what you submitted. Remember,
requirements are always numbered and
One or two slides should do it. If you have many requirements, you may need to omit the acceptance criteria for brevity.
measurable.

7. Demo First level Second level
Third level
Here include a slide to describe what the demo will show… the have a demo video that explicitly shows that you met your requirements.

8. Design First level Second level
Third level
Here describe how you will solve your problem (and
meet your requirements). You will likely need mock-up screens, data structure descriptions, flowcharts, and/or block diagrams.
In short, a design is a picture… it is not a bullet list.

9. Constraints First level Second level
Third level
What are the constraints for your project? This may include one or more of accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability.

10. Applicable standards First level Second level
Third level
What are the engineering standards that apply to your project? List them. Explain how they apply to your project.

11. Trade offs First level Second level
Third level
What alternative designs did you consider and what trade-offs were made?

12. Notes Some rules of thumb This is an example of
One slide per minute of your talk
Bullet text is one line at most
Slides are not meant to be read
Make sure font sizes are large enough for all to see
No gratuitous “art”
Neatness counts for more than you may first think
Sloppy presentation implies sloppy thinking and sloppy work
This is an example of
a bad slide. It has far
too much text on it.
