Overview

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.

Creating your poster

  • 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.

Presenting your poster

  • 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).

  • Motivation/Problem
