  7. Presentations in engineering Disadvantages of presentations • One chance to say something correctly • One chance to catch the material • Deal with time constraints • Communicate tomultiple audiences Advantages of presentations • Can make the presentation come alive • Can revise the presentation on the spot • Can use films, slides, and color From Michael Alley’s The Craft of Scientific Writing

  8. The components of a presentation are based on the same principles as the components of written texts • Purpose What is the purpose of a progress report? • Audience Who is the audience for your progress report? • Time You want to consider your

  9. How much time do you have? Never go over time.

  10. The guideline for creating an effective presentation: Tell ‘em what you’re going to tell ‘em, Tell ‘em, Tell ‘em what you told ‘em.

  11. Always tell your audience where your presentation is going. Mapping
