Every student is required to
prepare and deliver a seminar presentation in this course, in order to
demonstrate the ability to communicate advance engineering topic to other
engineers of same aptitude.
The basic procedure that will be
followed in this course is as follows:
1.
Choose your presentation topic and
the members of your team. The team should have 3 or 4
participants. The topic can be a research level topic
that you have worked on and can take it one level further to make a formal
report in the form of an extended abstract and presentable material in a
seminar. The work must have reference to at least two journal papers.
2.
Search for scientific journal
papers on a topic. Collect at least three more relevant papers to thoroughly
understand the topic. Prepare a report in the form of a literature review and
sufficient material for a seminar presentation.
3.
One person from a team should send an
email to me with the title of your presentation, the
team members (name and ID) and a brief abstract describing your topic. This
must be done before February 1st,
2018. If a topic is selected by more than one
team, it will be given to whoever selects it first.
4.
We will meet during the 5th week (February 7th,
2018) to discuss the different topics. Each team
will come with one transparency to present to the class the title of their
presentation and the main aspects of the topic they want to cover in the
team’s report and seminar. At this meeting we will also finalize the date and
time of each presentation.
5.
Study the topic well and prepare a
coherent report (extended abstract) and 15 minutes PowerPoint presentation.
The topic should be presented at the level of students in the class.
6.
You will submit one hard copy of
the extended abstract on the day of your presentation during the last two
weeks of Semester.
7.
If necessary, prepare handouts and
provide them to the class-mates. Full citation information of the references
used to prepare the presentation should be listed on the last slide of your
presentation.
8.
Your presentation grade will be determined
by the following:
·
the quality of your presentation
·
your ability to convey your ideas,
and
·
your ability to answer the
questions
9.
ATTENDING ALL THE MEETINGS (during February 7th, and the days of presentations) IS OBLIGATORY.

Each registered student is expected
to attend the seminars and actively participate by asking relevant questions
after each seminar.

to attend at least two of the seminars
in the department during the term. The information regarding the seminars
