In
this project your team is assigned an engineering field, please work in teams
to find out as much as you can about it, then make that knowledge available to
the class in a five minute presentation for each of the two parts. The time
limit of five minutes for these presentations must be strictly observed with
a chronometer, grades for project performance may be affected if the team
runs more than one minute over time. No change of field between Part I and Part
II will be allowed. Experience indicates that preparation time will be short if
you wait until after the due date for Part I to start working on Part II.
What to
do?
Part 1 –Find resources on the Internet, library, personal
interviews, your own knowledge and experiences, etc., put together and deliver
a five-minute presentation on the assigned engineering field. Check the e-syllabus for due date.
Each
team is required to make a five-minute presentation to the class on the due
date on the engineering field you are assigned. The presentation will be graded
based on the following criteria:
1)
How well do you convince the audience of the importance of the engineering
field you are presenting
2)
Details about the field: how a day at work in this field looks like
3)
How to become an engineer in this field
4)
Other information you think of interest to the audience
5)
How clearly the information is spoken or shown.
The
presentation should run like a TV commercial: very well planned and designed to
make your points clearly and attractively using all the tools and technologies
you can access. These include: the team members (one member’s monologue is much
boring than all members working and adding things as planned to catch the class
attention); the computer projector connected to the Internet available in our
classroom; and any other audiovisual equipments you, as a student, can check out
from the University Media Centers to use on campus (reservations are essential
since they may not be available on the date you need). Your presentation will
be examined in details and graded; peer evaluation by your classmates is also
planned. So this is a project in its own right in which you need to search and
brainstorm for ideas to include, for ways to surf the web for relevant and cool
info, for ways to attract the public attention, for ways to convey the ideas
clearly and attractively in a short period of time. After the team makes the
start signal, the presentation will be timed with a chronometer; the team will
have to stop sharply at six minutes (credit may not be assigned if six or more
minutes were used). Please plan ahead and rehearse it carefully. Record this
learning experience in the Engin 103 logbook, and in
your Individual Report.
Part 2 –Present a typical
project engineers in your field would perform, for example as related to
transportation, discuss in details and be prepared to answer questions.
Again a maximum of 5
minutes will be allowed for each presentation. The presentation will be graded
based on:
1) How relevant is the project described
with respect to the assigned engineering field,
2) Details that are presented: objectives; timelines; justified staffing and
man-hours; justified costs; and other details
3) How many questions you got from the
audience following the presentation.
What to
write in the reports?
Two reports are required in Project 0:
The Individual Report
For Project 0 each student is required to turn in an individual report (one-page on Part I; one-page on Part II, i.e. at least two pages in total) describing conclusions you could extract after doing Part I and Part II:
-What did you find and learn?
-How did you find it?
-What did you problem solve while working with your team; preparing; and/or delivering the presentations?
Every student is required to
submit an Individual Report for Project 0, including the team leaders. The individual report will be graded based
on the following points:
1) Clarity of ideas about what you did and learned in this project
regarding engineering field
2) Clear and concise description of one or more problems you had to solve and how did you problem-solve in doing this project.
The Team Report
In addition, the team leader is required to turn in a Team Report, about what the team has learned from the other teams’ Part I and Part II presentations. The team report should include a summary report based on the evaluation sheets, to be attached to the report, as filled in by the team members (the blank evaluation sheets will be available from the course website) on the contents and presentations of the other teams. For example, if there are 10 teams in the class, your Team Report will be on the other 9 teams’ presentations on Part I and Part II.
Only one Team Report is required
per team. The team report will be graded
based on:
1) Details of information obtained from other teams’ presentations on
Part I and Part II.
2) Objective critiques on those presentations
Check the e-syllabus for due dates. To prepare these reports, follow Tips for Good Report Writing
Team leaders:
you are required to fill out and submit
the Cover Sheet shown below along with the Team Report for Project 0

Project # 0 Report for team # ____ Submitted by ____________________ (team leader) Today’s date is ______________ |
|
|
Team members: please reply to your team leader’ s e-mail or voice-mail messages regarding meeting scheduling, work distribution, and progress. Team members will report to their leaders on work related to the assigned project. Team leader: Please comment on these teamwork elements: communication, organization, and participation while you and your team were completing Project 0. In one paragraph, make a self- evaluation for your team as compared to other teams in the class. Describe any recommendation you have for your team and the next leader for Project 1. |
