shortcut to schedule
The midterm examination for MAE171B and
MAE175B will compose 30% of the course grade. It is broken down
into
a 5-10 minute oral presentation by the group (10%) and a written
report (20%) of a maximum 8 pages. The report and
presentation
should cover the following topics in regard to your project and graded
as follows:

| Instructions
for oral presentation and report |
|
Referring to the items mentioned in the
table above, items 1-3 should be the opening of your presentation and
can
be given by one person. Items 4-6 are the main body of the
presentation
and report in which each team member should present the scope of
his/her
tasks, applicable methods, and progress to date. The presentation
should be closed by one person and give a summary of progress to date
and
highlight any outstanding issues such as parts or materials ordering
and
delivery, manufacturing or machining, etc.
- A PC
operating on Windows with
Power
Point, Adobe Reader, Windows Media Player
and a projection system will be available for your midterm presentation.
- In case you are planning to use
the PC
in
the class room:
- please bring your presentation
on
either a CD-ROM or a thumbdrive (solid state memory
with USB interface)
- Make sure you show up 10 minutes
before class,
to copy your presentation onto the harddisk of the PC in the class room.
- In
case you bring a CD-ROM make
sure
you only
use CD-R (do not use a CD-RW) and please do not use any directCD
software
to create your CD-ROM, as the PC in the class room will not support
CD-R
created with directCD. Make sure you simply burn the CD as a
conventional
data CD.
- In case you are planning to bring
your
own
laptop for your presentation:
- Show up 10 minutes before class
to
verify
your computer display has the right resolution for the projector in the
class-room.
- Make sure your computer is
booted
and ready
to go a few minutes before your presentation starts.
The Midterm oral
presentations
will be given over three lecture times: Monday
April 28, Wednesday April 30 and Friday May 2 from
5:00pm till 6:50pm in YORK 2622. All
Monday
