Due dates:
November 28: Upload the PDF version of your poster (link will be provided)
November 29, December 1: Poster presentations in class.
December 3: Submit peer-grading forms for 8 posters.
The poster presentation counts for 10% of the project grade (3.5% of the course grade)
The poster presentation is a showcase of the main outcome of the projects. Students will present the highlights of their research, and engage with the research of the other teams.
Format: portrait orientation, 24 in Ă— 36 in
Concentrate on the main results of your project.
Include enough detail to motivate, support and explain your results.
Do not include details that are not relevant to the main point.
Design the poster to be viewed, not read.
Avoid long texts.
Use structure, color, and graphics to highlight important aspects.
You may find the ECE templates helpful (but note the department logo!)
The following video tutorial (1 hour) may be useful.
Most students prepare their posters using presentation software (like PowerPoint or Google Slides), as these represent a good balance between availability, ease of use, and control for placing objects on the canvas. True desktop publishing software (like QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign) will give higher quality outputs, but the extra effort to access and work with these is not something most students consider worthwhile.
Talk about the research, not about the poster.
The poster is an aid to conversation, not the subject of conversation.
Prepare a short (30 second) overview of your project (just a brief statement of the problem, method, results).
Engage visitors and answer questions.
Circulate and visit other posters.
At least one member of each team should be by the poster at any time (rotate).
All students are expected to attend the poster sessions in person.
Students who are unable to attend in person will engage with the posters asynchronously (by viewing them on the drive).
Every student will be assigned 8 posters to summarize and grade.
The peer-grading form will include numerical criteria for grading and space for writing the summary.
The summary of each poster presentation should be about 3 sentences, covering the main takeaways from the poster presentation.
Summaries are individual: each student should submit their own summaries.
