• Guidelines : check out additional guidelines in the oral report rubric ( download from course site)
 The PPT Presentation is a summary of the written report
 If classes are suspended, report dates will be moved to the next immediate meeting
 Equipment Design presentation (A, B,C,D & E): MAX of 16 min/presentation per group; Bell
Timer will cut off any reporter over 15 min
 Divide oral presentation equally between the two presenters
 Present Highlights of Design / your prototype
 2 min Question from Faculty and/or any member of class
