SUMMARY:Preparing Poster Presentations
DESCRIPTION:
 A presentation poster requires a very different 
 approach than a research report on the same 
 work. You need to be visually appealing, draw 
 in your reader, and convey your purpose and 
 findings in a concise, direct manner. Dr. Tom 
 Wolff, Associate Dean of the College of Engineering, 
 has judged engineering project posters 
 for many years. He will speak about layout, 
 communication, and people`s perceptions of 
 typeface and graphic design. Workshop participants 
 will review examples of posters - both 
 good and not-so-good - and consider common pitfalls. 
 Discussion of the function of a poster 
 session as a vehicle for sharing your work 
 with visitors and judges will conclude the workshop.
