A poster presentation requires a very different approach than a research report on the same work. Your poster needs to be visually appealing, draw in the viewer, 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. This workshop will be especially useful for students preparing for the University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF). Sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Office.
