  14. Presentation Skills - 1 • Don’t use too many “ums “ [verbal pauses] when talking • Talk “to” the audience • Do read from notes • Hands out of pockets, speak out • Use pointer • Too much back and forth • Need to discuss axes on plots

Validation? • Mesh sensitivity study is always needed • Explain terms [roping], is it a technical term used or yours? • No analysis, simple control volume type is needed ASAP

  19. Design - 2 • Sloppy & free hand drawings • Use simple schematic or block diagram for concepts during orals • Need more figures & schematics… a picture is worth a thousand words • Try to include all your graphics in the presentation & avoid jumping around • Any analysis done to select hardware
