Presentation Reflection

My first interview really didn't affect my presentation.My presentation ws soley about my service learning and I knew before my first interview where I was going to do my service learning.

I would have to say my visuals stood out during my whole presentation. I think my visuals helped everyone understand a little more about what I was talking about and that my visuals actually went along with what I was presenting on.

The most challenging to do was check for understanding. I wanted to make sure the audience's questions got answered but I was not able to do it because of the time limit.

Senior Project Presentation 1

My objective for this presentation is to get my fellow classmates to hear about my interview, tell them what electronic engineering is and to let them know about a future plan of mine and how I'm going to build it. My future plan is to create a little project like a buggie or a heart monitor. In the begining of my presentation.

In the beigining of my presentation I will ask 3 random people in the class "what do you think electronic engineering is?". I will then discuss what the job of an electronic engineer is. Afterwards, I will summarize the interview I had and then discuss my future building project .

I am going to make sure the audience is understanding what I am teaching by giving them examples, like for example the cell phone you use was designed and created by an electronic engineer. I will also have the interview I did as reference. I plan on having some pictures of my little building project to show the class what I might build. At the end of my presentation I will ask if anyone has any questions they might have about what I talked about.

For my presentation I will need my interview sheet, pictures of gadgets created by electronic engineers, and picture of my building project. I plan on putting the pictures on separate poster boards so they each have their own space, like gadgets on one board and the pictures of the building project on the other.

Interview Check

I am interviewing my uncle because he is an electronic engineer and owns his own company. He is successful at what he is doing and I think he would be the perfect canidate to interview. In addition to the other questions I willl be asking him, I will ask him about what kind of struggles he had to go through to be where he is at today.I will also be asking him what he plans to do in the future with his company and ask about what kind of different equipment he makes.

Senior Project

My topic is electronic engineering. I chose this topic because I've always loved creating things and thought it would be something I could even get paid for. I also chose this topic because my uncle is an electronic engineer and is very successful at it. I hope to accomplish a basic understanding of what I would be doing if I choose this as my career. I would like to know if I worked for a comapny of any sort what they would have me do and the different tasks I would have to accomplish like working on a new product or upgrading an old product. I would also like to learn the building blocks for electronic engineers like basic wiring of a component of some sort of program.
