  1. Proposal Presentation for COEN/ELEC 390

  2. Outline

  3. Objectives • To persuade the viewer that: • Technically, the proposal is solid • Managerially, we have a plan • Solid proposal means: • We understand your requirements (problem) • Our design meets/exceeds them (solution) • Its implementation is feasible (not too complex) • We have a plan means: • We understand what building it means (WBS) • We have a detailed plan to deliver (Chart) • We have the resources required by this plan (Resources)

  4. Anti-Objectives • Fill the time-slot • Rehash the written proposal • Impress with artwork • Explain technical details • Apportion time stupidly • Look like losers • Take more time than allowed • Bore people to death • Talk inaudibly

  5. Persuasion • To get someone else to adopt your point of view, and that is not an easy thing. Use EAAR • 1. Empathy: try and see it from the other point of view • 2. Argument: present a fact-based logical case • 3. Art: make it aesthetically pleasing • 4. Repetition: re-assert the main points

  6. Argument Examples

  7. Technically Solid 1/2 • Technically solid means, your characterization of the problem, your portrayal of the solution and the work needed to implement it is: • Complete (but not completely detailed) • Correct (without using formal logic) • Clear (so viewers can follow it) • Gaps degrade confidence • Errors reflect unprofessionalism • Complexity heightens risk

  8. Technically Solid 2/2 • In terms of content (for your robot), it means: • Overall idea (STD of a FSM) • Mechanical Design (AutoCAD) • Computational Ctrl. (Algorithm) • Electrical Circuitry (Block Diagram)

  9. Technical Summary

  10. We have a Plan 1/2 • We know exactly what building it entails • We know how much person-hours each task should take • .. And the relationship between tasks • We have identified/located/secured the resources to execute them (task 1.1: PC+1 person-hour)

  11. We have a Plan 2/2 And, the implementation plan will be carried out by a competent harmonious team. Hence, • Express confidently what each of you are good at and how these skills are: • Appropriate for the tasks assigned • Complement each other, i.e., cover all tasks • Use your track record – to date – to show that your expectations were met in reality • Your whole team believes in the project • And have committed the time to see it happen

  12. Plan summary
