Blog 1: 2-Hour Presentations

1. What presentations did you see?
* presentations i especially liked.

2.   What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project? 

  • What is an independent component? 
  • do more hours benefit your grade?
  • whats with the name tags?
  • can i have a timer?
  • what if i cant find a mentor?
  • how many EQ's are recommended?
3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?

        Based of what i saw in the seniors presentations i would have to say that the activity is the most important part of the presentation. The activity really hooks the audience and is the difference between a good and bad presentation. It is also extremely important that the activity some how ties in your essential question so that it is easier for the audience to comprehend. I would also not do a worksheet type activity because that instantly disengages your audiences and sends them to sleep. Some great activities were the structural engineering one and the bio fuels one. They both were creative fun and helped me too understand more about the topic.

4.What topic are you considering doing and why?
      I am considering doing the topic of chemical engineering. Chemistry is something i love and i have a friend who owns a chemical company. It is also what i currently want to study in college. If everything works out this will be my senior project topic. 

5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?
       Over the summer i will try to get a mentorship at my friends chemical company. If that does not work out i will look for any technical mentorships especially ones in engineering. And if that does not work out i will go  for anything. I have several less interesting but more probably options including sales and construction. I might also consider fishing.
