Outline Information for MET 1311 Report and
Presentation
Objectives:
The objective of the MET 1311 Report and
Presentation is for the students to exhibit the ability
to research a manufacturing topic and present the
results in writing. In addition, the students are to
exhibit the ability to orally communicate the results
effectively.
Topic - Process, Material, or Device:
The student should choose a manufacturing process,
material, or device that is familiar to the class
members. The student should be able to describe it
and explain how it can be used and how it is
manufactured.
To get the maximum grade/evaluation, the student
should enhance the topic to include things that relate
to economics, environment, life cycle, performance,
or other critical aspect of manufacturing mentioned in
class discussions, rather than just the description of
how it is manufactured.
Evaluation and Grading:
The grading shall consist of both the written paper
and the oral presentation. The criteria to be evaluated
(both the report and presentation) are: Style, Clarity,
Content, and Satisfied Objectives. Try to make your
presentation interesting and stimulating by adding
some images and video clips (you can use the CD
which comes with Groover’s book or find the
clips/images from the Internet). The overall project
shall consist of at least 15% of the final grade.
Written Paper Guidelines:
The written paper shall be typed and at least 4 pages,
but no more than 5 pages in length (1.5 line single
spaced, 1 inch margins, 12 point font).
Presentation Guidelines:
The presentation should be done in PowerPoint. The
student should support the presentation by photos,
figures, videos, visual aids, etc. The length of
presentation should be between 4 to 7 minutes (NOT
LESS THAN 4 MINUTES…..and NOT MORE
THAN 7 MINUTES!). It is advised that you time
yourself to know the exact time which is taken to
present your topic! No time should be wasted for
transferring your files into the computer. The
presentation should be given to me ahead of time so I
can put them on the computer.
