Structure the Presentation Clearly
Introduction
Briefly introduce the problem you are addressing.
State your project objectives and why the problem is important or relevant.
Problem Statement
Clearly define the problem you are solving, providing context and background.
Explain any existing solutions and the gaps that your project addresses.

Explain why you chose this particular solution and its advantages over other possible options.
Results
Present the results of your project.
Discuss how your solution was tested or validated.
Conclusion

3. Prepare Slides Carefully
Avoid cluttered slides with too much text or detail. Use bullet points for key ideas and ensure consistency in font and formatting.
Ensure your diagrams are clear and legible.
Consider 2 minutes for each slide and use at least 30-point font on slides for readability.
4. Real-world Applications
Highlight your project's relevance to real-world applications or industry needs, especially if it has commercial potential.
5. Anticipate Questions
The committee will likely ask questions, so rehearse potential questions related to your methods, results, and decisions.
6. Practice
Practice the flow of the presentation. Time the presentation to fit within the allotted timeframe.
Present to peers before the actual presentation to get feedback and refine your delivery.
7. Present with Confidence
Speak clearly and confidently, and avoid reading directly from slides or notes. Make eye contact with the audience.
8. Closing and Takeaways
End with a strong conclusion that reiterates your project's contribution or impact.
Thank the examination committee for their time and attention.
