A Comprehensive Guide to Mechanical Engineering Presentations

• Mechanical Engineering

Welcome to our easy-to-follow guide on creating impactful mechanical engineering presentations.

Whether you’re a student or a professional in the field, this guide is here to help you present technical information clearly and confidently.

We’ll start by explaining why it’s crucial to know your audience and adjust your talk to fit their knowledge level.

Then, we’ll share effective ways to organize your presentation to grab and hold attention, including how to make slides that are both eye-catching and full of useful information.

You’ll also learn the best way to speak confidently and handle any questions from the audience smoothly.

Our goal is for you to be able to share your ideas and findings in a way that is interesting and convincing.

Understanding Your Audience

When you’re getting ready to give a talk on mechanical engineering, it’s really important to think about who will be listening. For example, if your audience knows a lot about different areas of engineering, you’ll want to explain things differently than if they were all experts in how fluids move or how heat works.

You want to make sure your talk is just right—not too simple or too complex—so that people stay interested and aren’t confused. It’s crucial to be clear and use words that precisely describe what you mean without being confusing. Use pictures or charts to help tell your story and make sure they’re easy to see and understand.

When you’re speaking, try to fill in any knowledge that your audience might be missing so they can fully grasp what you’re saying. For instance, if you’re talking about a new pump design, don’t just throw out technical terms. Instead, say something like, ‘This new pump design can move water much faster because it has a more efficient blade shape, similar to how a ceiling fan with curved blades moves air more effectively.’ This way, you’re giving a specific example that’s easy to visualize, which helps your audience understand the benefit of the design.

Always check that your words and pictures are spot on and that you’re writing like you’re having a conversation with someone. Your goal is to give a rich, detailed talk that everyone in your audience can learn from.

Structuring Your Presentation

Start your engineering talk by explaining its goal and what you’ll discuss. This helps your listeners follow along and understand the information better. Open with an engaging introduction that explains why the topic matters. If needed, include a section on previous research to lay the groundwork for your points.

Make the main part of your talk about important themes or discoveries, using numbers and studies to back up what you’re saying. Design each slide to stand on its own and add to the story you’re telling. End by going over the key points and suggesting ideas for further study or how the work can be used. Make sure to leave time for questions and talks.

Designing Effective Slides

Creating good slides is very important for explaining complex ideas in mechanical engineering in a clear and brief way.

When you make slides, pick a straightforward, professional-looking template that doesn’t take away from what you’re trying to say. Use text and background colors that stand out against each other so people can read your slides from far away.

Keep your text short and to the point, using key phrases and bullet points, because too much text can be too much for your audience. Add clear diagrams, schematics, or simulations that show mechanical processes or parts; make sure these images are clear and accurately labeled.

When you show data, use graphs or charts that are easy to understand, with a clear legend and the right scale. Keep your font size, style, and how your slides change the same throughout to make your presentation smooth.

Double-check that all your technical details are correct and try to give a lot of information without making your slides too busy.

Delivering With Confidence

A mechanical engineer’s delivery should exude confidence, as it reinforces the credibility of the presentation and engages the audience effectively.

To project this assurance, the engineer must be well-versed in the subject matter, demonstrating technical proficiency throughout the discourse. Mastery of the topic facilitates a clear and articulate explanation of complex concepts, ensuring that the details are communicated with precision.

It is imperative that the presenter practices the material extensively, which not only hones the delivery but also prepares them for potential inquiries, allowing for detailed responses delivered with authority.

Utilizing a steady pace and maintaining eye contact can further convey a sense of confidence, making the information presented not just understood but respected.

Handling Questions Skillfully

While delivering with confidence is crucial, adeptly handling audience questions is equally important in demonstrating a mechanical engineer’s expertise during a presentation.

When approached with inquiries, it is imperative to listen attentively, ensuring that the question is fully understood before formulating a response. This not only shows respect for the individual’s query but also allows for a precise and tailored answer.

Engineers should aim to communicate their responses with clear, unambiguous language, avoiding overly technical jargon unless it is audience-appropriate.

Furthermore, when a question falls outside the presenter’s scope of knowledge, it is vital to acknowledge this candidly, offering to follow up with additional information post-presentation if possible. Such an approach maintains credibility and fosters an environment of professional integrity.

For a mechanical engineering presentation to be effective, it’s essential to know who you’re talking to and make your story easy to follow. This helps you connect with your audience and makes it easier for everyone to learn and grow professionally.

Creating slides that grab attention is also crucial. Well-designed visuals can enhance understanding and engage your audience.

Speaking with confidence is another important aspect. When you present with confidence, you convey credibility and expertise, which helps your audience trust the information you’re sharing.

Lastly, being good at answering questions is essential. Mechanical engineering concepts can be complex, and your audience may have inquiries. Being prepared and knowledgeable in your responses will further enhance your presentation’s effectiveness.

By getting these key elements right, even the toughest engineering ideas can be explained so everyone understands. It is through effective communication that professionals in mechanical engineering can thrive and succeed.

Along with the engineering topic for presentation, other factors contribute to its success. Some of the most prominent key factors for a good presentation are discussed below:

1. Try to Keep it Brief with Data

A common mistake to avoid while preparing a presentation slide is overfilling text. Engineers should keep presentation slides content informative yet brief. People get bored with complex wording and lengthy content. It is suggested to use eye-catching slides that include bullet points.

The addition of bullet points and readable fonts puts the audience at ease. Moreover, you must avoid slang, jargon, and complex terms that can confuse the audience. Another way to achieve the audience's interest is by inserting colorful illustrations in slides.

2. Know Your Audience and the Potential Questions

Before presenting, get to know about your potential audience and their expertise level. It will be helpful in a successful presentation. You can quote relevant examples by knowing the audience's knowledge level and interests. Moreover, it enables you to memorize relevant terminologies and expected questions.

This will enhance your credibility as a presenter and maintain the audience's attention. However, due to interest, your audience will listen to the presentation with attention. Knowing potential questions enables you to create backup slides and enhance confidence.

3. Choose an Interesting Template

Slides are short notes to keep the audience attentive toward the presented topic. A visually appealing slide template is essential to engage them in the presentation. For engineering students, use a template that contains attractive infographics for statistical data. Moreover, use a template that offers complete customization options according to your choices.

In addition, a relative appearance, trending graphics, and layouts make a template unique. Despite the attractive nature of the template, it should be easy to edit to save time.

4. Enhanced Visual Effects

Compelling visual aids grab the audience's attention in seconds. These include transitions and animation in most parts. Engineering students can add icons, symbols, diagrams, and equations. Format your presentation in readable fonts and color palettes. Plus, organize your content according to the topic hierarchy.

Visualize your data through video presentation or 3D animated models. For example, you can make a 3D model of a turbine gas engine for power generation. By visualizing that motor model, you can communicate ideas well.

5. Correct Body Language and Eye Contact

Non-verbal communication is another way to express ideas impactfully. It includes eye contact, hand movements, and facial expressions. Maintaining eye contact while presenting keeps your audience attentive to the concepts.

Keep yourself confident and relaxed through body posture to not forget any information. Lastly, take short pauses while presenting, and take your time while delivering content. Plus, only stare at someone briefly and try to move your face toward the entire audience.

6. Rehearse

Remember that famous quote, "Practice makes a man perfect.” Rehearsal enhances confidence and helps argument effectively. Engineering students are advised to rehearse in front of their friends and teammates. Try to get positive and constructive feedback for positive improvements.

Moreover, while rehearsing, keep track of time and practice managing topics accordingly. Afterward, practice tone of delivery and clear pronoun cation of technical terms . Furthermore, preview slides during rehearsal and clear technical glitches, if any.

Part 2: Best 10 Topics for Engineering Students

Research and presentation play an essential role in engineering students' curriculum. Students have to present in seminars, classrooms, exhibitions, and webinars. Selecting PPT topics for engineering students is a time-consuming concern. After in-depth research, we have summarized the top 10 topics for engineering students. Read below to explore paper presentation topics for engineering students:

Scientific/Academic Conference Poster Presentation

Digital research poster presentations, slidemodel poster presentation templates, how to make a research poster presentation step-by-step, considerations for printing poster presentations, how to present a research poster presentation, final words, what is a research poster .

Research posters are visual overviews of the most relevant information extracted from a research paper or analysis.   They are essential communication formats for sharing findings with peers and interested people in the field. Research posters can also effectively present material for other areas besides the sciences and STEM—for example, business and law.

You’ll be creating research posters regularly as an academic researcher, scientist, or grad student. You’ll have to present them at numerous functions and events. For example:

• Conference presentations
• Informational events
• Community centers

The research poster presentation is a comprehensive way to share data, information, and research results. Before the pandemic, the majority of research events were in person. During lockdown and beyond, virtual conferences and summits became the norm. Many researchers now create poster presentations that work in printed and digital formats.

Let’s look at why it’s crucial to spend time creating poster presentations for your research projects, research, analysis, and study papers.

Research posters represent you and your sponsor’s research 

Research papers and accompanying poster presentations are potent tools for representation and communication in your field of study. Well-performing poster presentations help scientists, researchers, and analysts grow their careers through grants and sponsorships.

When presenting a poster presentation for a sponsored research project, you’re representing the company that sponsored you. Your professionalism, demeanor, and capacity for creating impactful poster presentations call attention to other interested sponsors, spreading your impact in the field.

Research posters demonstrate expertise and growth

Presenting research posters at conferences, summits, and graduate grading events shows your expertise and knowledge in your field of study. The way your poster presentation looks and delivers, plus your performance while presenting the work, is judged by your viewers regardless of whether it’s an officially judged panel.

Recurring visitors to research conferences and symposia will see you and your poster presentations evolve. Improve your impact by creating a great poster presentation every time by paying attention to detail in the poster design and in your oral presentation. Practice your public speaking skills alongside the design techniques for even more impact.

Poster presentations create and maintain collaborations

Every time you participate in a research poster conference, you create meaningful connections with people in your field, industry or community. Not only do research posters showcase information about current data in different areas, but they also bring people together with similar interests. Countless collaboration projects between different research teams started after discussing poster details during coffee breaks.

An effective research poster template deepens your peer’s understanding of a topic by highlighting research, data, and conclusions. This information can help other researchers and analysts with their work. As a research poster presenter, you’re given the opportunity for both teaching and learning while sharing ideas with peers and colleagues.

Anatomy of a Winning Poster Presentation

Do you want your research poster to perform well?  Following the standard layout and adding a few personal touches will help attendees know how to read your poster and get the most out of your information. 

The overall size of your research poster ultimately depends on the dimensions of the provided space at the conference or research poster gallery. The poster orientation can be horizontal or vertical, with horizontal being the most common.  In general, research posters measure 48 x 36 inches or are an A0 paper size.

A virtual poster can be the same proportions as the printed research poster, but you have more leeway regarding the dimensions. Virtual research posters should fit on a screen with no need to scroll, with 1080p resolution as a standard these days. A horizontal presentation size is ideal for that.

A research poster presentation has a standard layout of 2–5 columns with 2–3 sections each. Typical structures say to separate the content into four sections; 1. A horizontal header 2. Introduction column, 3. Research/Work/Data column, and 4. Conclusion column. Each unit includes topics that relate to your poster’s objective.  Here’s a generalized outline for a poster presentation:

• Condensed Abstract 
• Objectives/Purpose
• Methodology
• Recommendations
• Implications
• Acknowledgments
• Contact Information 

The overview content you include in the units depends on your poster presentations’ theme, topic, industry, or field of research. A scientific or academic poster will include sections like hypothesis, methodology, and materials. A marketing analysis poster will include performance metrics and competitor analysis results.

There’s no way a poster can hold all the information included in your research paper or analysis report. The poster is an overview that invites the audience to want to find out more. That’s where supplement material comes in. Create a printed PDF handout or card with a QR code (created using a QR code generator ). Send the audience to the best online location for reading or downloading the complete paper.

What Makes a Poster Presentation Good and Effective? 

For your poster presentation to be effective and well-received, it needs to cover all the bases and be inviting to find out more. Stick to the standard layout suggestions and give it a unique look and feel. We’ve put together some of the most critical research poster-creation tips in the list below. Your poster presentation will perform as long as you check all the boxes.

The information you choose to include in the sections of your poster presentation needs to be cohesive. Train your editing eye and do a few revisions before presenting. The best way to look at it is to think of The Big Picture. Don’t get stuck on the details; your attendees won’t always know the background behind your research topic or why it’s important.

Be cohesive in how you word the titles, the length of the sections, the highlighting of the most important data, and how your oral presentation complements the printed—or virtual—poster.

The most important characteristic of your poster presentation is its readability and clarity. You need a poster presentation with a balanced design that’s easy to read at a distance of 1.5 meters or 4 feet. The font size and spacing must be clear and neat. All the content must suggest a visual flow for the viewer to follow.

That said, you don’t need to be a designer to add something special to your poster presentation. Once you have the standard—and recognized—columns and sections, add your special touch. These can be anything from colorful boxes for the section titles to an interesting but subtle background, images that catch the eye, and charts that inspire a more extended look. 

Storytelling is a presenting technique involving writing techniques to make information flow. Firstly, storytelling helps give your poster presentation a great introduction and an impactful conclusion. 

Think of storytelling as the invitation to listen or read more, as the glue that connects sections, making them flow from one to another. Storytelling is using stories in the oral presentation, for example, what your lab partner said when you discovered something interesting. If it makes your audience smile and nod, you’ve hit the mark. Storytelling is like giving a research presentation a dose of your personality, and it can help turning your data into opening stories .

Design Tips For Creating an Effective Research Poster Presentation

The section above briefly mentioned how important design is to your poster presentation’s effectiveness. We’ll look deeper into what you need to know when designing a poster presentation.

1. Font Characteristics

The typeface and size you choose are of great importance. Not only does the text need to be readable from two meters away, but it also needs to look and sit well on the poster. Stay away from calligraphic script typefaces, novelty typefaces, or typefaces with uniquely shaped letters.

Stick to the classics like a sans serif Helvetica, Lato, Open Sans, or Verdana. Avoid serif typefaces as they can be difficult to read from far away. Here are some standard text sizes to have on hand.

• Title: 85 pt
• Authors: 65 pt
• Headings: 36 pt
• Body Text: 24 pt
• Captions: 18 pt

If you feel too prone to use serif typefaces, work with a font pairing tool that helps you find a suitable solution – and intend those serif fonts for heading sections only. As a rule, never use more than 3 different typefaces in your design. To make it more dynamic, you can work with the same font using light, bold, and italic weights to put emphasis on the required areas.

2. Color Pairing

Using colors in your poster presentation design is a great way to grab the viewer’s attention. A color’s purpose is to help the viewer follow the data flow in your presentation, not distract. Don’t let the color take more importance than the information on your poster.

Choose one main color for the title and headlines and a similar color for the data visualizations. If you want to use more than one color, don’t create too much contrast between them. Try different tonalities of the same color and keep things balanced visually. Your color palette should have at most one main color and two accent colors.

Black text over a white background is standard practice for printed poster presentations, but for virtual presentations, try a very light gray instead of white and a very dark gray instead of black. Additionally, use variations of light color backgrounds and dark color text. Make sure it’s easy to read from two meters away or on a screen, depending on the context. We recommend ditching full white or full black tone usage as it hurts eyesight in the long term due to its intense contrast difference with the light ambiance.

3. Data Visualization Dimensions

Just like the text, your charts, graphs, and data visualizations must be easy to read and understand. Generally, if a person is interested in your research and has already read some of the text from two meters away, they’ll come closer to look at the charts and graphs. 

Fit data visualizations inside columns or let them span over two columns. Remove any unnecessary borders, lines, or labels to make them easier to read at a glance. Use a flat design without shadows or 3D characteristics. The text in legends and captions should stay within the chart size and not overflow into the margins. Use a unified text size of 18px for all your data visualizations.

4. Alignment, Margins, and White Space

Finally, the last design tip for creating an impressive and memorable poster presentation is to be mindful of the layout’s alignment, margins, and white space. Create text boxes to help keep everything aligned. They allow you to resize, adapt, and align the content along a margin or grid.

Take advantage of the white space created by borders and margins between sections. Don’t crowd them with a busy background or unattractive color.

Calculate margins considering a print format. It is a good practice in case the poster presentation ends up becoming in physical format, as you won’t need to downscale your entire design (affecting text readability in the process) to preserve information.

There are different tools that you can use to make a poster presentation. Presenters who are familiar with Microsoft Office prefer to use PowerPoint. You can learn how to make a poster in PowerPoint here.

Poster Presentation Examples

Before you start creating a poster presentation, look at some examples of real research posters. Get inspired and get creative.

Research poster presentations printed and mounted on a board look like the one in the image below. The presenter stands to the side, ready to share the information with visitors as they walk up to the panels.

With more and more conferences staying virtual or hybrid, the digital poster presentation is here to stay. Take a look at examples from a poster session at the OHSU School of Medicine .

Use SlideModel templates to help you create a winning poster presentation with PowerPoint and Google Slides. These poster PPT templates will get you off on the right foot. Mix and match tables and data visualizations from other poster slide templates to create your ideal layout according to the standard guidelines.

2. Eisenhower Matrix Slides Template for PowerPoint

An Eisenhower Matrix is a powerful tool to represent priorities, classifying work according to urgency and importance. Presenters can use this 2×2 matrix in poster presentations to expose the effort required for the research process, as it also helps to communicate strategy planning.

3. OSMG Framework PowerPoint Template

Finally, we recommend presenters check our OSMG Framework PowerPoint template, as it is an ideal tool for representing a business plan: its goals, strategies, and measures for success. Expose complex processes in a simplified manner by adding this template to your poster presentation.

Remember these three words when making your research poster presentation: develop, design, and present. These are the three main actions toward a successful poster presentation. 

The section below will take you on a step-by-step journey to create your next poster presentation.

Step 1: Define the purpose and audience of your poster presentation

Before making a poster presentation design, you’ll need to plan first. Here are some questions to answer at this point:

• Are they in your field? 
• Do they know about your research topic? 
• What can they get from your research?
• Will you print it?
• Is it for a virtual conference?

Step 2: Make an outline

With a clear purpose and strategy, it’s time to collect the most important information from your research paper, analysis, or documentation. Make a content dump and then select the most interesting information. Use the content to draft an outline.

Outlines help formulate the overall structure better than going straight into designing the poster. Mimic the standard poster structure in your outline using section headlines as separators. Go further and separate the content into the columns they’ll be placed in.

Step 3: Write the content

Write or rewrite the content for the sections in your poster presentation. Use the text in your research paper as a base, but summarize it to be more succinct in what you share. 

Don’t forget to write a catchy title that presents the problem and your findings in a clear way. Likewise, craft the headlines for the sections in a similar tone as the title, creating consistency in the message. Include subtle transitions between sections to help follow the flow of information in order.

Avoid copying/pasting entire sections of the research paper on which the poster is based. Opt for the storytelling approach, so the delivered message results are interesting for your audience. 

Step 4: Put it all together visually

This entire guide on how to design a research poster presentation is the perfect resource to help you with this step. Follow all the tips and guidelines and have an unforgettable poster presentation.

Moving on, here’s how to design a research poster presentation with PowerPoint Templates . Open a new project and size it to the standard 48 x 36 inches. Using the outline, map out the sections on the empty canvas. Add a text box for each title, headline, and body text. Piece by piece, add the content into their corresponding text box.

Transform the text information visually, make bullet points, and place the content in tables and timelines. Make your text visual to avoid chunky text blocks that no one will have time to read. Make sure all text sizes are coherent for all headings, body texts, image captions, etc. Double-check for spacing and text box formatting.

Next, add or create data visualizations, images, or diagrams. Align everything into columns and sections, making sure there’s no overflow. Add captions and legends to the visualizations, and check the color contrast with colleagues and friends. Ask for feedback and progress to the last step.

Step 5: Last touches

Time to check the final touches on your poster presentation design. Here’s a checklist to help finalize your research poster before sending it to printers or the virtual summit rep.

• Check the resolution of all visual elements in your poster design. Zoom to 100 or 200% to see if the images pixelate. Avoid this problem by using vector design elements and high-resolution images.
• Ensure that charts and graphs are easy to read and don’t look crowded.
• Analyze the visual hierarchy. Is there a visual flow through the title, introduction, data, and conclusion?
• Take a step back and check if it’s legible from a distance. Is there enough white space for the content to breathe?
• Does the design look inviting and interesting?

An often neglected topic arises when we need to print our designs for any exhibition purpose. Since A0 is a hard-to-manage format for most printers, these poster presentations result in heftier charges for the user. Instead, you can opt to work your design in two A1 sheets, which also becomes more manageable for transportation. Create seamless borders for the section on which the poster sheets should meet, or work with a white background.

Paper weight options should be over 200 gsm to avoid unwanted damage during the printing process due to heavy ink usage. If possible, laminate your print or stick it to photographic paper – this shall protect your work from spills.

Finally, always run a test print. Gray tints may not be printed as clearly as you see them on screen (this is due to the RGB to CMYK conversion process). Other differences can be appreciated when working with ink jet plotters vs. laser printers. Give yourself enough room to maneuver last-minute design changes.

Presenting a research poster is a big step in the poster presentation cycle. Your poster presentation might or might not be judged by faculty or peers. But knowing what judges look for will help you prepare for the design and oral presentation, regardless of whether you receive a grade for your work or if it’s business related. Likewise, the same principles apply when presenting at an in-person or virtual summit.

The opening statement

Part of presenting a research poster is welcoming the viewer to your small personal area in the sea of poster presentations. You’ll need an opening statement to pitch your research poster and get the viewers’ attention.

Draft a 2 to 3-sentence pitch that covers the most important points:

• What the research is
• Why was it conducted
• What the results say

From that opening statement, you’re ready to continue with the oral presentation for the benefit of your attendees.

The oral presentation

During the oral presentation, share the information on the poster while conversing with the interested public. Practice many times before the event. Structure the oral presentation as conversation points, and use the poster’s visual flow as support. Make eye contact with your audience as you speak, but don’t make them uncomfortable.

Pro Tip: In a conference or summit, if people show up to your poster area after you’ve started presenting it to another group, finish and then address the new visitors.

QA Sessions 

When you’ve finished the oral presentation, offer the audience a chance to ask questions. You can tell them before starting the presentation that you’ll be holding a QA session at the end. Doing so will prevent interruptions as you’re speaking.

If presenting to one or two people, be flexible and answer questions as you review all the sections on your poster.

Supplemental Material

If your audience is interested in learning more, you can offer another content type, further imprinting the information in their minds. Some ideas include; printed copies of your research paper, links to a website, a digital experience of your poster, a thesis PDF, or data spreadsheets.

Your audience will want to contact you for further conversations; include contact details in your supplemental material. If you don’t offer anything else, at least have business cards.

Even though conferences have changed, the research poster’s importance hasn’t diminished. Now, instead of simply creating a printed poster presentation, you can also make it for digital platforms. The final output will depend on the conference and its requirements.

This guide covered all the essential information you need to know for creating impactful poster presentations, from design, structure and layout tips to oral presentation techniques to engage your audience better . 

Before your next poster session, bookmark and review this guide to help you design a winning poster presentation every time.

The poster session goes virtual

Each fall, graduate students, undergraduate students who have completed Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) projects, and postdocs gather to share their mechanical engineering research with the wider MIT community. They practice their presenting skills, explaining their research projects as attendees snake through rows of posters — a sight familiar to anyone who has attended a scientific conference.

As with most events and conferences, the Mechanical Engineering Research Exhibition (MERE) had to be held virtually this year. This presented the student organizers with a challenge: How could they help foster the discussions that happen organically as people physically walk through poster sessions in a virtual space?

“Our main goal was to recreate the poster presentation experience, with as much person-to-person interaction as possible,” says graduate student Crystal Owens, who was a co-organizer of the event.

MERE_2 1024.jpg

Early in the summer, when it became clear that MERE would have to be a virtual event, Owens and her fellow co-organizer Maytee Chantharayukhonthorn, also a graduate student in mechanical engineering, started researching platforms that could help them recreate the poster session experience.

After discussing with friends, the pair narrowed down a list of 10 options and performed beta testing with students, faculty, and staff. They chose the video game-like platform Gather.town, which enables people to choose avatars and walk through a virtual space. Once their avatar gets close enough to another user’s avatar, a video chat pops up, allowing people to talk with each other as they would during any virtual meeting.

Owens got to work building a virtual environment that looked like a typical poster session. Presenters and their avatars were stationed at their posters, which users could click on to view as a PDF. As attendees moved their avatar around the “room,” they could approach individual presenters and posters to start a conversation or join an existing conversation, just like an in-person poster session.

“I've always liked video games, so I had fun creating the map and putting our event rooms together,” says Owens, who also added small "Easter eggs," such as a hidden map with MIT’s dome with a police car on top.

The team managed to create a virtual event that was as close to an in-person poster session as possible.

“Seeing people actually walking around from poster to poster, and people chatting in groups, was exactly what we were hoping would happen,” adds Chantharayukhonthorn. “That sort of organic community-building experience was important to us.”

Hosting the event virtually for the first time had some unexpected benefits. Individuals across the wider MIT community were able to join the virtual keynote speech delivered by Norman L. Fortenberry '83, SM '84, SCD '91, executive director of the American Society for Engineering Education.

Additionally, alumni from as far away as Turkey were able to join the event as judges and participants. Judges, including faculty, staff, alumni, and industry representatives, spoke with each student and voted for categories like First Place Presenters, Best First-time Presenters, Best UROPs, Runners-up, and two new awards this year — Best Lightning Talk and Most Innovative Use of Virtual Environment. 

“I think the posters are great examples of how our students stay passionate in their scientific research and demonstrate resilience to get through the tough times,” says Nicholas Fang, professor of mechanical engineering and faculty advisor for MERE.

Among the award winners were the following First Place Presenters:

Orisa Coombs: “Multi-component Solution Diffusion Model for Forward Osmosis”

While desalination can help improve access to water globally, it is often expensive. A low-energy process known as OARO — osmotically assisted reverse osmosis — could help lower desalination cost. However, little is known about membrane diffusion in OARO systems.

As part of a UROP with Professor John Lienhard, Orisa Coombs, a senior studying mechanical engineering, developed a computational model of OARO that correlated with experimental data better than existing models.

“We hope that this research will serve to better inform designers of desalination systems and make desalination plants a viable primary water source in the future,” says Coombs.

Sangho Lee: “Nanopatterned Graphene-based Universal Epitaxy Platform for Single-crystalline Membrane Transfer”

Sangho Lee, a graduate research assistant working in the lab of Associate Professor Jeehwan Kim, won a First Place Presenter award for his work on epitaxy — a process vital to the fabrication of semiconductors. In the research he presented at MERE, Lee expanded the materials that could be used in remote epitaxy, a method previously developed by Kim that could substantially reduce the cost of semiconductor manufacturing.

“We found out nanostructured graphene provides a universal epitaxy platform from which we can accommodate the growth, release, and transfer of any high-quality membranes of interest,” says Lee.

Lee will continue his work in fabricating device-level structures such as curvilinear focal plane arrays.

Moses C. Nah: “Dynamic Motor Primitives Facilitate Flexible Object Manipulation – A Study with A Whip”

While the field of robotics has advanced greatly in the past decade, there are still many tasks that robots simply cannot perform as well as humans. One such task is controlling flexible objects. Moses Nah, a graduate student working with Professor Neville Hogan, set out to improve robotic performance in handling flexible objects, like a whip.

The team encoded the robotic controller with structures called “dynamic motor primitives.”

Encoding the robotic controller with these dynamic primitives dramatically simplified the acquisition of the motor skills needed to control an object with many degrees of freedom like a whip, which was modeled as a 54 degrees-of-freedom model for the presented case.

“Ultimately, we want to establish a fundamental understanding of humans’ remarkable motor performance, and apply this understanding to improve machines and robots,” explains Nah, who is currently in South Korea and presented at midnight his time.  

Youngsup Song: “Micro-tube Arrays for Enhanced Pool Boiling Heat Transfer”

Boiling water is crucial to the creation of energy. Power plants, steam engines, and concentrated photovoltaics rely on boiling for efficient energy generation. In previous studies, researchers have found that surfaces with microcavities increase the efficiency of boiling heat transfer, while permeable structures with micropillar arrays improve what is known as the “critical heat flux.”

In his research with Professor Evelyn Wang, Youngsup Song, a graduate student studying mechanical engineering, utilized both microcavities and micropillar arrays to increase the efficiency in boiling heat transfer.

“In our work, we combined the two features — micropillar and microcavity — in one structure, such as a microtube, so that simultaneous enhancement of maximum heat flux and efficiency was achieved,” explains Song.

Welding robots powered by AI could potentially analyze complex parameters such as material properties and weld joint geometries in real-time, allowing them to automatically adjust their settings for optimized weld quality.

Solar Tracking System

One of the most exciting topics in solar energy research is the development and implementation of solar tracking systems. These innovative technologies are designed to maximize the efficiency of solar panels by allowing them to follow the sun’s movement throughout the day. By constantly adjusting their position, these solar tracking systems can increase energy output by up to 50 percent compared to fixed solar panels.

What makes solar tracking so fascinating is its potential for widespread adoption in both residential and commercial settings. While it may sound like a complex technology that only large-scale power plants can afford, there are actually various types of tracking systems available that are suitable for different applications. From single-axis trackers that move panels along one axis, typically from east to west, to dual-axis trackers capable of following both the sun’s daily movement as well as its seasonal changes, there is a solution for every need.

Aside from boosting energy generation, another advantage of using solar tracking systems is their ability to prolong the lifespan of solar panels. By evenly distributing sunlight across the entire surface throughout the day, these systems prevent certain parts from being overworked while others remain underutilized. This leads to less wear and tear on individual cells and ultimately extends their operational life span.

Overall, as renewable energy continues to play an increasingly important role in addressing climate change concerns, exploring new ways to improve its efficiency becomes paramount. Solar tracking systems have proven themselves as a viable option for not only enhancing electricity generation but also extending equipment longevity. As technology advances and costs decrease, we can expect even greater adoption of solar tracking systems in the future.

One key advantage of solar tracking systems is their ability to maximize energy output throughout the day. Traditional fixed solar panels are stationary and are only able to capture sunlight at a fixed angle, typically facing south in the northern hemisphere. As a result, they are only able to generate optimal power during a limited period when the sun is directly overhead.

This not only benefits the environment but also helps building owners save on energy costs in the long run.

One key aspect of energy-efficient building design is proper insulation. By using insulating materials such as foam or fiberglass, engineers can prevent heat loss or gain through walls, roofs, and floors. This reduces the need for heating or cooling systems, resulting in significant energy savings. Additionally, optimizing natural lighting is another effective strategy for reducing energy consumption. Designing spaces with larger windows and skylights allows more natural light to enter, reducing the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours.

Another important consideration in energy-efficient building design is efficient HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) systems. By utilizing advanced technologies such as variable speed drives and smart sensors, these systems can adjust their operation based on occupancy levels or external weather conditions. This ensures that resources are used efficiently while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

In conclusion, energy-efficient building design plays a vital role in meeting sustainability goals and achieving long-term cost savings. Through proper insulation, maximizing natural light, and implementing efficient HVAC systems, mechanical engineers can contribute to a greener future while creating comfortable living and working environments for individuals worldwide. Implementing these strategies not only reduces carbon emissions but also provides significant financial benefits.

Industrial Automation and Industry 4.0

Industrial Automation and Industry 4.0 have revolutionized the manufacturing industry, making production processes more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable. The integration of advanced technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics has enabled machines to communicate with each other, analyze data in real-time, and make autonomous decisions. This has not only improved productivity but also minimized human intervention in repetitive or hazardous tasks.

Industry 4.0 encompasses a wide range of technologies that are reshaping the future of manufacturing. For example, the Internet of Things (IoT) allows machines and systems to connect and exchange information through a network infrastructure. This connectivity enables manufacturers to monitor their operations remotely, predict maintenance needs before breakdowns occur, optimize energy consumption, reduce waste generation, and streamline supply chain management.

Furthermore, the use of AI in industrial automation has brought about predictive maintenance capabilities that help prevent unexpected breakdowns by identifying potential issues before they happen. By analyzing patterns in machine data over time utilizing machine learning algorithms, AI can accurately forecast when machines may require servicing or part replacements thereby reducing downtime significantly.

Mechatronics: Integration of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

Mechatronics, the integration of mechanical and electrical engineering, is a rapidly emerging field with immense potential. By combining the principles of both disciplines, mechatronics allows for the design and construction of complex autonomous systems that can interact with their environment. This integrated approach enables engineers to create innovative solutions by leveraging the best aspects of mechanical and electrical engineering.

One area where mechatronics has made significant advancements is in robotics. Traditional robots were limited by their fixed movements and lack of intelligence. However, mechatronic robots are equipped with sensors and actuators that enable them to perceive their surroundings and make decisions based on this information. These robots are capable of performing intricate tasks such as object recognition, navigation, and even collaborative work with humans. As a result, mechatronic robotics is revolutionizing industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics.

Another exciting application of mechatronics is in smart devices and systems. From smartphones to smart homes, mechatronics plays a crucial role in bringing together mechanical components like sensors and actuators with electronic elements such as microcontrollers and software algorithms. This fusion creates intelligent devices that can adapt to users’ needs in real-time. For example, a smart thermostat can learn an individual’s temperature preferences over time and automatically adjust the room temperature accordingly. Similarly, self-driving cars utilize mechatronics technology to integrate mechanical controls with sophisticated sensors to operate autonomously.

In conclusion, mechatronics brings together two powerful engineering disciplines – mechanical and electrical – to create cutting-edge solution.

Ergonomics in Product Design and Workplace Safety

Ergonomics, the study of how people interact with their environment and the products they use, is a crucial aspect of product design. It involves designing products that are not only functional but also comfortable and efficient to use. In today’s fast-paced world, where people spend long hours at workstations, it becomes even more important to incorporate ergonomic principles into workplace design.

When it comes to workplace safety, ergonomics plays a significant role in preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). By considering factors like proper posture, adjustable furniture and equipment, and sufficient lighting, designers can create workspaces that promote employee well-being. Moreover, integrating ergonomic features into industrial machinery not only improves worker comfort but also enhances their overall productivity.

In summary, ergonomics is an integral part of both product design and workplace safety. By understanding human factors and designing products that cater to user needs and preferences, companies can create innovative solutions while ensuring the well-being of their employees. Ultimately, investing in ergonomic design leads to happier customers and healthier work environments – a win-win for all parties involved.

Design and Analysis of Automobile Suspension Systems

Automobile suspension systems play a pivotal role in ensuring smooth rides and enhancing vehicle safety. The design and analysis of these systems have evolved significantly over the years, with engineers constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve optimum performance. One emerging trend in suspension design is the use of advanced materials such as carbon fiber composites, which offer superior strength-to-weight ratios compared to traditional steel structures. This not only reduces overall weight but also improves fuel efficiency without compromising on durability.

Another important aspect of suspension system design is the incorporation of electronic control systems. These systems utilize sensors and actuators to continually monitor road conditions and adjust damping forces accordingly, providing a comfortable ride regardless of surface irregularities. Through sophisticated algorithms, these control systems can adapt to different driving situations, such as cornering or braking, ensuring optimal stability and handling characteristics.

The analysis of suspension system dynamics is crucial for understanding its behavior under various loads and conditions. Finite element analysis (FEA) has emerged as a powerful tool for simulating the structural response to different forces and vibrations experienced by suspension components. By analyzing stress distribution patterns in critical areas like ball joint connections or shock absorber mounting points, engineers can identify potential failure modes early in the design stage and make necessary adjustments before physical prototypes are built.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Mechanical Design

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool in mechanical design that allows engineers to simulate and analyze the behavior of complex structures and systems. With FEA, engineers can accurately predict how a component or structure will respond to various loading conditions before it is manufactured or implemented. This can significantly reduce costs and improve product performance.

One of the key advantages of FEA is its ability to model real-world conditions with great accuracy. Traditional hand calculations often oversimplify complex problems, leading to inaccuracies in the final design. FEA, on the other hand, breaks down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable elements and applies mathematical equations to each element individually, resulting in a more realistic simulation. Engineers can then evaluate stress distribution, deformation patterns, and other critical factors that affect the overall performance of their designs.

Moreover, FEA enables engineers to rapidly iterate through different design alternatives. By simulating different scenarios using FEA software, engineers can quickly assess the impact of design modifications on product performance without going through costly physical prototyping processes. This not only speeds up product development but also empowers designers to explore innovative ideas that may have been deemed too risky or expensive without FEA analysis.

In conclusion, Finite Element Analysis is a game-changing technology in mechanical design that revolutionizes how products are developed and optimized. Its ability to simulate real-world conditions accurately while enabling rapid iteration makes it an indispensable tool for modern engineering teams.

Reliability Engineering and Predictive Maintenance

Reliability engineering and predictive maintenance are two critical topics that play a significant role in the realm of mechanical engineering. Reliability engineering focuses on ensuring the long-term dependability of machinery, systems, and processes. It involves identifying potential failures, analyzing data, and implementing strategies to prevent or minimize such failures.

Predictive maintenance, on the other hand, takes reliability engineering a step further by utilizing advanced technologies and data analysis techniques to anticipate equipment failures and address them before they occur. By continuously monitoring performance indicators such as temperature, vibration, and oil levels, engineers can identify patterns or deviations that indicate impending issues. This proactive approach not only saves time and money but also prevents costly downtime in industries where uninterrupted operations are crucial.

With technological advancements like the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), reliability engineering and predictive maintenance have gained even more prominence in recent years. IoT allows machines to communicate with each other in real-time, enabling seamless data exchange for efficient monitoring and analysis. AI algorithms can crunch vast amounts of historical data to predict failure probabilities accurately.

Moreover, integrating reliability engineering principles into the early stages of product design allows engineers to build more robust systems with built-in fault tolerance mechanisms. This approach ensures greater safety for end-users while extending machine lifespan through effective maintenance practices.

In conclusion, both reliability engineering and predictive maintenance have become indispensable tools for mechanical engineers striving to optimize system performance while minimizing costly downtime for diverse industries.

Corrosion Control and Prevention Methods in Mechanical Systems

Corrosion is a major concern in mechanical systems, as it can lead to costly repairs and equipment failure. To prevent corrosion, there are several methods that engineers can employ. One such method is the use of protective coatings, such as paint or polymer coatings, which act as a barrier between the metal surface and the corrosive environment. These coatings not only provide aesthetic value but also enhance the system’s lifespan by preventing direct contact between metal and moisture or other corrosive agents.

Another effective corrosion prevention method is cathodic protection. This technique involves applying a direct electrical current to the metal structure, which inhibits corrosion by creating an artificial electrochemical reaction. By introducing an external current source, the metal becomes cathodic and attracts any corrosive ions in the environment towards itself instead of allowing them to attack the structure. This process effectively slows down or even stops corrosion altogether.

In addition to these preventive measures, regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for successful corrosion control in mechanical systems. Engineers should conduct routine inspections to identify any signs of corrosion early on before it progresses further and causes extensive damage. Implementing proper drainage systems and keeping surfaces clean from dirt and debris can also help prevent water buildup and minimize corrosive effects.

By implementing these corrosion control methods in mechanical systems, engineers can ensure their longevity while saving costs associated with repair or replacement due to excessive damage caused by rusting or other forms of corrosion.

How to Do a Technical Poster Presentation in 5 Simple Ways

After you choose the most interesting technical poster topic for your own presentation, your affairs are much better. However, don’t get too excited as you need to know how to present your technical poster successfully. To create a good technical poster, there are a number of points to consider:

• The purpose of creating a poster. It is aimed at informing an audience about the chosen technical research question and attracting their attention to it. So all your efforts should be devoted to meeting this particular purpose. Gather as much relevant information about a technical issue as possible and present it in a clear and interesting way (that will be provided in this article below – arm yourself with patience to read it to the end!)
• The targeted audience. Depending on the audience you’re going to present a technical poster, you choose the way of presentation. If the audience is aware of all the terminology you want to mention, there is no need to provide additional explanations. If not, be ready to clarify all the complex concepts you’re going to present. Usually, technical posters are presented to young researchers like you or professors from the technical faculties.
• The coherent organization of poster content. Everything you are going to include must relate to your research question closely. A poster is limited by space to provide too much information. It isn’t free writing of essays. Mind it! Say no to all irrelevant data and include only those pictures, graphs, and tables that underpin your central research idea. Besides, even if you want to present some text in your poster, it is better to give headlines, bullet points, and numbers to make the text easy to read and understand. These instruments help to highlight the discussed issue better and to attract public attention to the key moments of the technical research. As for the poster organization, put the central idea in the center and build on it the rest of the poster content.

One of the possible technical poster presentation topics is provided below. Pay attention to all the details. Is this poster perceived as a coherent statement that gives all the necessary information on the topic “Wireless Charging vs. Wired Charging of Electronic Devices”? Reportedly, yes.

Look how it is possible the same good results in your own technical poster presentation!

• Collect the most relevant and interesting information to fulfill the purpose of a poster. Remember the purpose of creating a poster? You are supposed to inform and attract the readers to the research issue. In your case, it is referred to as a technical research question. That’s nothing to sneeze at! So it is vital to stick to the subject so that it will be interesting for all who intend to read your poster. Mind it can be read by both a specialist with a high level of knowledge within a technical discipline and a person unfamiliar with some technical terms and practices. For that reason, weight up the data given to both types of readers so that they will be able to digest all at once.
• Develop a presentable poster layout. What does it mean? Posters are usually designed on paper of size A0, A1 or A2 – quite an impressive scope of writing. So it is important to work in the way in which writing and pictures will be well-arranged on a given page. If you require professional assistance, our presentation writing services can help you design a layout that maximizes the impact of your content. You can choose any way of structuring your poster, but there is the only thing you can’t neglect – the visibility of all the posters elements. Make them visually appealing and easy to follow. It is possible to achieve with the help of clear headings and subheadings.

• Outline a poster in advance. Don’t hope that all the information that you’re going to use will fit in your poster nicely. But if you work on a poster outline beforehand, it will be much easier to produce a good poster. Draw squares where each new research idea or fact will be separately written down. After that, look at the outline of your poster and decide if you will read it with interest what is written. Remember you should be the first ‘objective’ reader of your poster. Alternatively, you can always find someone who is more experienced in assessing the quality of posters – professional poster writers, editors and other experts in creating eye-catching content.
• Think about the visual imagery of the technical poster. Luckily, a poster isn’t a research paper itself where you need to write, write and write a lot of text to meet a page or word count (as it is common for most students). In posters, students are required to present the research process, its results briefly. How to do it? With the help of different visual elements – color, shapes, lines, scales, graphs, charts, diagrams, tables, pictures, etc. So all the graphical elements that could provide the most convincing display of your competence in the technical issue in question, and emphasize or clarify the importance of your technical research efforts. Don’t try to create colorful Coca-Cola or any other famous company. Be unique in filling your technical poster with informative and appealing visual elements.

Hopefully, our article is helpful for you, but remember that we can be more helpful when our specialists will take off their coat to the work – a well-arranged poster written specifically according to your instructions is waiting for its users. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a technical poster presentation favorable for your academic path!

Technical Presentation

Structure diagram, criteria for success.

• The presentation starts with the motivating problem for the research and why it’s being presented.
• Every slide shows something relevant to the motivating problem.
• Every slide shows no more information than necessary to convey the message.
• Slide titles stand on their own; other text supports the visuals.
• The audience takes away the presenter’s desired message .

Identify Your Message and Purpose

Identify your message and goals as a presenter and use them to organize your presentation. Your message is what you wish to convey to the audience, and is your primary goal. Other goals could include eliciting feedback, receiving a job offer, etc. Use your goals to structure your presentation, making it easier for the audience to follow your logic and identify important points that support your goals.

For example, if your goal is to communicate a new scientific result, focus on the results and broader implications rather than your methodology. Specific methods should take a back seat (e.g. “I measured key material properties,” rather than “I found the thermal decomposition temperature and profile”). Spend more time focusing on what the result means, and how it can be used.

Alternatively, if your goal is to elicit feedback from colleagues on an experimental apparatus, focus more on the experimental methods. Compare the advantages and disadvantages to alternatives. Explain your assumptions, base models and why your proposed experimental design will give more useful results than other designs would.

In less formal settings such as lab meetings, you can explicitly tell your audience what you’re looking for (e.g., “I’d appreciate feedback on my experimental methods”).

Analyze Your Audience

Understanding your audience is of paramount importance for a successful presentation. Highlight how your goals overlap with what audience cares about, so they receive your message. A well-designed presentation will steer the audience’s attention such that you can lead them to the exact point that you want them to take away.

Different audiences have different goals for attending a presentation, and therefore pay attention to different things. For example, at the same talk, an engineer may be interested in using your result to solve their problem, a scientist in the broader scientific advance, a venture capitalist in its impact as a novel product, and clinician about how your device could improve their patients’ care. The introduction of your presentation should speak to the range of backgrounds and experiences in your audience.

That being said, often an audience consists of people with similar backgrounds and interests. Therefore, identify whether jargon is appropriate for an audience, and to what extent. Consider whether other methods, such as images or analogies, are more appropriate to convey concepts that would otherwise rely on jargon.

Plan Out the Presentation

Presentations are constrained by the fact that they progress linearly in time, unlike a written piece of communication, where the reader may jump forwards and backwards to get at the information they seek. Outline the content of the entire presentation first, then begin to design the slides, rather than jumping straight into them.

Lay out the order in which the content needs to be presented to achieve your goals, such that your message flows from point to point, topic to topic. This order may be very different from the structure of the journal paper you’ve already written.

Start by motivating your work with a problem that everyone cares about. Then develop your message step by step, from the background to the final message, so the logic flows clearly.

In many cases (depending on the audience), it might be most appropriate to reveal your conclusions up-front, so that the audience can tie everything else in the presentation back to supporting those conclusions. For instance, technology-focused program managers or engineering sponsors are likely most interested in your results, which will determine whether they are interested enough to pay attention to your process and justification. By contrast, certain scientific communities appreciate being taken through your scientific process to develop their own conclusions before you present yours.

Because the audience cannot immediately see a presentation’s structure like they can with a paper, it is often a good idea to provide a high-level roadmap of the presentation early on. At key points throughout the presentation, remind them of where they are on the roadmap.

Connect Your Work Back to the Broader Motivation

At the beginning of your talk, develop the broader context for your work and lay out the motivating questions you aim to answer. The audience should understand how your answers have an impact on the broader context, and why a solution was not immediately possible without your work.

At the next level down, when showing data and results, make sure it’s clear what they contribute to answering the motivating questions.

Anticipate Questions

If your audience is following along with your presentation, they’ll likely have questions about why you made certain decisions or didn’t make others. Sometimes, the questions could arise from what you’ve said and presented. Other times, they’ll arise from a listener’s knowledge of the field and the problem that you’re working on.

While you design your presentation, think about what kinds of questions may come up, and identify how you will address them. For less formal talks, you can anticipate interruptions to discuss these questions, whereas for more formal talks you should make sure that none of the questions are so big that they’ll preoccupy your listeners. For big questions, decide if you’ll explicitly address them in your talk. For smaller ones, consider adding back-up slides that address the issue.

Remember – while you know all of the information that is coming up in your talk, the audience probably does not. If they develop a question that doesn’t get addressed clearly, they could get distracted from the rest of the points you make.

You can use questions to create strong transitions: “seed” the listener’s thought process with the questions you’re about to answer in an upcoming slide. If a listener develops a question, and then you answer it immediately after, your message will stick much better!

Each Slide Should Convey a Single Point

Keep your message streamlined—make a single point per slide. This gives you control over the pace and logic of the talk and keeps everyone in the audience on the same page. Do not be afraid of white space—it focuses your audience’s attention.

The slide title should identify where you are on your roadmap and what topic the question the slide is answering. In other words, the audience should know exactly where in the presentation and what the slide answers just from the slide title.

Strong Titles Tell a Message

Strong titles highlight where on the roadmap you are, and hint at what question the slide is answering. Weak titles tend to be vague nouns that could be used across many slides or presentations. A rule of thumb is your title should be a clear, single-line phrase illustrating the importance of the slide.

Note that different mechanical engineering fields have different preferences for titles that are phrases versus full sentences. In general, design, system, or product-focused presentations tend to have short titles that only highlight what the speaker is saying, allowing audiences to focus more on the body of the slide, which is usually a figure. In other fields, a strong title might instead be a full sentence that states a message.

Emphasize Visuals

When a new slide is presented, most people will shift their attention from what you’re saying to the slide. People can often interpret figures and listen, but not read text and listen simultaneously. The more words on the slide, the less control you have over your audience’s attention. If you are reading words off the slide, you’ve lost the audience’s attention completely—they’ll just read the slide too.

Use brief statements and keywords to highlight and support the slide’s individual point. Slides are a visual medium, so use them for figures, equations, and as few words as possible to convey the meaning of the slide.

If you have a block of text on your slide, ask yourself what the takeaway message is, and what is the necessary supporting material (data, analysis). Then, identify how text can be reduced to still support your point clearly. Consider…

• Replacing text with figures, tables, or lists.
• Eliminating all but key words and phrases, and speaking the bulk of the text instead.
• Breaking up the slide into multiple slides with more visuals.

Replace blocks of text with easy-to-read pictures, tables or diagrams.

Left: The original slide provides specific information as text, but makes it easy for both speaker and audience to read directly off the slide, often leading to a distracted audience.

Right: The improved slide conveys the same information with a simple graphic and keywords, conveying the chronology more clearly, and allowing the reader to speak the same information without reading off the slide.

Simplify Figures

The purpose of a figure is to convey a message visually, whether it be supporting evidence or a main point. Your audience usually gives you the benefit of the doubt and assumes that whatever you show in the figure is important for them to understand. If you show too much detail, your audience will get distracted from the important point you want them to gather.

An effective presentation figure is often not one made for a paper. Unlike you scrutinizing your own data or reading an academic paper, your audience doesn’t have a long time to pore over the figure. To maximize its effectiveness, ask yourself what minimum things need to be shown for the figure to make its point. Remove anything that doesn’t illuminate the point to avoid distraction. Simplify data labels, and add emphasis to key parts using colors, arrows, or labels.

Additionally, presentations offer different opportunities than papers do for presenting data. You can use transitions on your slides to sequentially introduce new pieces of information to your slide, such as adding data to a plot, highlighting different parts of an experiment (or equation), or introducing text concepts as bullets.

Simplify data, simplify labels for emphasis.

Top: Academic referees and peers would prefer to see the complete theoretical model and experimental data (top), so they can interpret it for themselves. In addition, in papers, space is limited, while time to digest is not.

Bottom: But in a presentation, simplifying the data makes it easy to focus on the feature of interests for the presentation, or even at that moment (different regions may be highlighted from slide to slide). Slides provide plenty of space, while time is at a premium. [Adapted from Wind-Willassen et al., Phys. Fluids 25, 082002 (2013); doi:10.1063/1.4817612]

Introduce Your Data

Make sure your audience will be able to understand your data before you show it. They should know what the axes will be, what points in the plot generally represents, and what pattern or signal they’re looking for. If you’re showing a figure common to a specific audience, you may not need to explain as much. But if you show the data before the audience knows how to read it, they’ll stop listening to you, and instead scrutinize the figure, hoping that a knitted brow will help them understand.

If you are worried your audience won’t understand your data, one approach is to show sketches of what the data would should like if your hypothesis were true or false. Then show your real data.

For an audience unfamiliar with cyclic battery testing as a way to measure corrosion, first show a slide explaining how the electrical signal would appear without corrosion ( top ) before showing the slide with the actual data ( bottom ). Use parallel design across the explanation and data slides. This way, the audience is introduced to the logic of the experiments and how to draw conclusions from the data, making them more likely to follow and agree with the point made on the second slide. [Adapted from AAE2]

Be Critical of Visual and Textual Jargon

If there are discipline-accepted symbols, for example in fluid or electrical schematics, using them is an effective tool to simplify your visual for people in your field. However, if these may be unknown to a significant portion of your audience, be sure to add a descriptive keyword, label or legend.

Use simple, consistent visual design

A clean set of slides will minimize visual noise, focus the audience’s attention and improve the continuity between what you’re showing and telling. The graphical design is also important for setting the tone and professionalism of the presentation.

• Are colors related to each other? Do some carry intrinsic meaning (e.g. blue = cold, water, red = hot)?
• Are you using colors that are well-represented when projected?
• Are your color choices appropriate for colorblind members of the audience? Can you textures or line/point styles to differentiate data instead?
• Spread out elements on a slide to use space effectively—don’t be afraid of white space! By limiting the amount of information on a slide, you can control what your audience will focus on at each moment in time.
• Use your software’s alignment and centering features.
• When items are grouped as a list, make sure they actually belong under a helpful unifying theme.
• Make sure all text and figures are legible to the back of the room.

The poster session goes virtual

Each fall, graduate students, undergraduate students who have completed Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) projects, and postdocs gather to share their mechanical engineering research with the wider MIT community. They practice their presenting skills, explaining their research projects as attendees snake through rows of posters — a sight familiar to anyone who has attended a scientific conference.

As with most events and conferences, the Mechanical Engineering Research Exhibition (MERE) had to be held virtually this year. This presented the student organizers with a challenge: How could they help foster the discussions that happen organically as people physically walk through poster sessions in a virtual space?

“Our main goal was to recreate the poster presentation experience, with as much person-to-person interaction as possible,” says graduate student Crystal Owens, who was a co-organizer of the event.

Early in the summer, when it became clear that MERE would have to be a virtual event, Owens and her fellow co-organizer Maytee Chantharayukhonthorn, also a graduate student in mechanical engineering, started researching platforms that could help them recreate the poster session experience.

After discussing with friends, the pair narrowed down a list of 10 options and performed beta testing with students, faculty, and staff. They chose the video game-like platform Gather.town, which enables people to choose avatars and walk through a virtual space. Once their avatar gets close enough to another user’s avatar, a video chat pops up, allowing people to talk with each other as they would during any virtual meeting.

Owens got to work building a virtual environment that looked like a typical poster session. Presenters and their avatars were stationed at their posters, which users could click on to view as a PDF. As attendees moved their avatar around the “room,” they could approach individual presenters and posters to start a conversation or join an existing conversation, just like an in-person poster session.

“I've always liked video games, so I had fun creating the map and putting our event rooms together,” says Owens, who also added small "Easter eggs," such as a hidden map with MIT’s dome with a police car on top.

The team managed to create a virtual event that was as close to an in-person poster session as possible.

“Seeing people actually walking around from poster to poster, and people chatting in groups, was exactly what we were hoping would happen,” adds Chantharayukhonthorn. “That sort of organic community-building experience was important to us.”

Hosting the event virtually for the first time had some unexpected benefits. Individuals across the wider MIT community were able to join the virtual keynote speech delivered by Norman L. Fortenberry '83, SM '84, SCD '91, executive director of the American Society for Engineering Education.

Additionally, alumni from as far away as Turkey were able to join the event as judges and participants. Judges, including faculty, staff, alumni, and industry representatives, spoke with each student and voted for categories like First Place Presenters, Best First-time Presenters, Best UROPs, Runners-up, and two new awards this year — Best Lightning Talk and Most Innovative Use of Virtual Environment. 

“I think the posters are great examples of how our students stay passionate in their scientific research and demonstrate resilience to get through the tough times,” says Nicholas Fang, professor of mechanical engineering and faculty advisor for MERE.

Among the award winners were the following First Place Presenters:

Orisa Coombs: “Multi-component Solution Diffusion Model for Forward Osmosis”

While desalination can help improve access to water globally, it is often expensive. A low-energy process known as OARO — osmotically assisted reverse osmosis — could help lower desalination cost. However, little is known about membrane diffusion in OARO systems.

As part of a UROP with Professor John Lienhard, Orisa Coombs, a senior studying mechanical engineering, developed a computational model of OARO that correlated with experimental data better than existing models.

“We hope that this research will serve to better inform designers of desalination systems and make desalination plants a viable primary water source in the future,” says Coombs.

Sangho Lee: “Nanopatterned Graphene-based Universal Epitaxy Platform for Single-crystalline Membrane Transfer”

Sangho Lee, a graduate research assistant working in the lab of Associate Professor Jeehwan Kim, won a First Place Presenter award for his work on epitaxy — a process vital to the fabrication of semiconductors. In the research he presented at MERE, Lee expanded the materials that could be used in remote epitaxy, a method previously developed by Kim that could substantially reduce the cost of semiconductor manufacturing.

“We found out nanostructured graphene provides a universal epitaxy platform from which we can accommodate the growth, release, and transfer of any high-quality membranes of interest,” says Lee.

Lee will continue his work in fabricating device-level structures such as curvilinear focal plane arrays.

Moses C. Nah: “Dynamic Motor Primitives Facilitate Flexible Object Manipulation – A Study with A Whip”

While the field of robotics has advanced greatly in the past decade, there are still many tasks that robots simply cannot perform as well as humans. One such task is controlling flexible objects. Moses Nah, a graduate student working with Professor Neville Hogan, set out to improve robotic performance in handling flexible objects, like a whip.

The team encoded the robotic controller with structures called “dynamic motor primitives.”

Encoding the robotic controller with these dynamic primitives dramatically simplified the acquisition of the motor skills needed to control an object with many degrees of freedom like a whip, which was modeled as a 54 degrees-of-freedom model for the presented case.

“Ultimately, we want to establish a fundamental understanding of humans’ remarkable motor performance, and apply this understanding to improve machines and robots,” explains Nah, who is currently in South Korea and presented at midnight his time.  

Youngsup Song: “Micro-tube Arrays for Enhanced Pool Boiling Heat Transfer”

Boiling water is crucial to the creation of energy. Power plants, steam engines, and concentrated photovoltaics rely on boiling for efficient energy generation. In previous studies, researchers have found that surfaces with microcavities increase the efficiency of boiling heat transfer, while permeable structures with micropillar arrays improve what is known as the “critical heat flux.”

In his research with Professor Evelyn Wang, Youngsup Song, a graduate student studying mechanical engineering, utilized both microcavities and micropillar arrays to increase the efficiency in boiling heat transfer.

“In our work, we combined the two features — micropillar and microcavity — in one structure, such as a microtube, so that simultaneous enhancement of maximum heat flux and efficiency was achieved,” explains Song.

What is a poster presentation?

When preparing to present noteworthy research at an academic conference, its important to articulate your findings effectively, so it leaves a lasting impression on your peers. A common method for presenting research is through poster presentations. Learn what a poster presentation is, how to craft one for your next conference, and its benefits.

A poster presentation, or a poster session, is a type of research format presented on a poster by an individual or a group at a conference. These posters organize and display the thesis or hypothesis, methods, and outcomes of a research study in a way that’s visually pleasing for audience members. Attendees will listen to participants’ presentations and ask questions to engage in discussion. Typically, these sessions last between 1-2 hours. So, participants should be thoroughly prepared to effectively present throughout its duration.

Tell your story with captivating presentations

Powerpoint empowers you to develop well-designed content across all your devices

How do you create a poster presentation?

Poster presentations, unlike PowerPoint presentations , require physical design and production. Professional poster creation involves graphic artists, production, and team meetings. So, it’s important to outline a poster presentation timeline for your team to follow, keeping your presentation in mind to ensure ample time for completion.

To start outlining the poster design, identify its components. First, your title, authors, and institution should be placed at the top center of the poster. Organize the poster vertically and include the relevant sections – “Introduction”, “Methods”, “Results”, “Conclusions”, and “Recommendations”. Each section must include relevant and accurate content that summarizes your work, while being visually appealing to captivate its viewers.

Data visualization can be organized with pie charts, for survey or demographic results, infographics for complex information, and bar graphs for quantitative data. From a design perspective, prioritize readability and simplicity for your audience. Use a balanced color scheme, lines, frames, and other visual cues to highlight information.

What are the benefits of poster presentations?

Poster presentations communicate complex research in an effective manner, that offers benefits for the presenter and audience alike. These benefits include:

Visually engagement

As mentioned earlier, poster presentations should be visually engaging. Graphics, images, data visualizations and colors convey complex information, in a simpler format, so viewers can understand it.

Concise communication

Poster presentations are in a concise format. Its relevant sections – introductions, methods, results, conclusions, and recommendations – are outlined in a digestible format, so readers can follow along. The concise format encourages presenters to communicate their findings clearly and briefly within the limited space available. Concise communication ensures viewers can follow their research topic, with comprehensible verbiage.

Networking opportunity

Poster presentations are delivered at conferences, a great platform for networking and collaboration. Presenters can connect with colleagues, researchers, and other peers who share similar research interests and expertise. Consequently, presenters can hope to develop their research with their peers or pursue additional opportunities.

Interactive discussion

Poster presentations facilitate interactive discussions between presenters and conference attendees. Viewers can interface directly with the presenter, ask questions and request clarification on aspects of their research. Presenters can improve their research spiel from insights they gained from their discussion.

Poster presentations offer researchers a platform to share their findings, network with peers in their field, and engage with others interested in their research. If you are preparing to present at a conference, follow these tips to effectively create and deliver your poster presentation. For more help with presenting research, learn more presentation tips .

Well, that was a nice idea in theory. Paris held the first-ever Olympics opening ceremony to take place outside a stadium—and on one of the loveliest settings in the world, the Seine. Athletes paraded not by foot but by boat, waving flags from sleek cruising pontoons, as pageantry unfolded on bridges and riverbanks. The aquatic format promised to do more than just showcase the architectural beauty of Paris or convey the magic of strolling across the Pont Neuf with fresh bread in hand. It promised to offer the world—our ever more jaded, content-drowned world—something new to look at.

Unfortunately, that new thing was a mess. Some will blame the rain, which soaked the festivities for hours, adding an air of tragedy as athletes waved flags from within their ponchos. But even on a sunnier day, the ceremony would have served as an example of how not to stage a spectacle for live TV. The energy was low, the pacing bizarre, and the execution patchy. Paris tried to project itself as a modern, inclusive hub of excitement—but it mostly just seemed exhausted.

Olympics opening ceremonies are inevitably ridiculous affairs, usually in a fun way. The host nation must welcome the global community while cobbling all of the signifiers of its own identity into some sort of romping medley that also, ideally, expands that country’s image in helpful ways. London offered the Queen and James Bond, and also a tribute to the National Health Service. Rio hosted a rumbling dance party as well as a briefing on Brazil’s Indigenous history. Most important, both of those cities gave us good TV.

Beforehand, the Paris event’s artistic director, Thomas Jolly, announced his intentions to play with Gallic clichés. Key words— liberté , synchronicité , and so on—announced thematic chapters, but a narrative hardly cohered. Congratulations if you had the following on your bingo card: mimes, Louis Vuitton, parkour, Les Mis é rables , the cancan, lasers shooting out of the Eiffel Tower , allusions to ménages à trois. But credit where it’s due—I really did not foresee the Minions stealing the Mona Lisa and bringing it aboard a Jules Verne–style submarine. On reflection, that was the most educational part of the show: learning that a Frenchman co-directed Despicable Me .

One problem with this French fever dream is that much of it was prerecorded. Every few minutes, the telecast would cut to slick cinematography of a masked, hooded individual—that’s what the NBC broadcasters kept calling her, “the Individual”—sneaking the Olympic torch around. She went to the Louvre, where the paintings came to life. She went to a movie screening, where a Lumière-brothers film ... came to life. These segments hit with all the force of a cruise-ship commercial, while distracting from the novelty of having a ceremony on water in the first place.

The live components of the show weren’t much more vibrant. A bridge was converted into a runway on which fashion models and drag queens strutted with the gusto and precision of a forced march. Platforms over the river itself featured extreme-sports performers doing tricks that the TV cameras seemed suspiciously afraid of showing in close-up. Lady Gaga put on a feather-laden cabaret performance that was perfectly fine, save for the fact that “perfectly fine” shouldn’t be anywhere near the name Lady Gaga. (As it turns out, that performance was prerecorded too.)

One of the only showstopping moments made clear that the weird vibes of the ceremony could largely be blamed on the detail work. At one point, the camera cut to a woman dressed as Marie Antoinette and holding her own babbling, chopped-off head. The heavy-metal band Gojira broke into riffage, and flames fired. This was righteous. But then, not much happened. Viewers were left to grow bored with static, wide shots of the performance. Eventually, a fake boat wheeled into view, looking quite a bit like a prop from a high-school play.

The best bits took place firmly on land. The pop star Aya Nakamura danced with the French Republican Guard in a flashy meeting of old and new cultural regimes. Once the sun set, “the Individual” emerged in real life to ride a cool-looking mechanical horse down the Seine. (It must be said that this journey was interminable.) The Olympic cauldron was cool too: It resembled a hot-air balloon, and it rose into the air when lit. To finish things off, Celine Dion made her seemingly unlikely return to singing, heaving with emotion from a deck of the Eiffel.

Perhaps it is no coincidence that carefully composed, largely stable images were the highlights of a show that tried to reinvent the Olympic ceremony in fluid directions. My favorite moment was when the pianist Alexandre Kantorow played Maurice Ravel’s Jeux d’Eau from a bridge as rain puddled on his instrument. He looked sad and soaked but also unbothered, lost in music. He made me remember the word I’d been trying to think of, for one of those ineffable French feelings: malaise .

What's in the box Olympic medal winners get? What else medalists get for winning

Meda ls are being handed out left and right with the 2024 Paris Olympics in full swing, but hardware isn't the only thing Olympians are getting on the podium.

From footage and photos taken at medal ceremonies, winners can be seen receiving a slim, mysterious box in addition to the medals they receive. It's an intriguing item, leaving viewers pondering as to what could be inside.

So what's in the box?

It's the official Olympic poster for this year's Summer Game, according to the International Olympic Committee . The posters are designed by French artist Ugo Gattoni. He reportedly spent 2,000 hours in four months designing it, and fans can even buy it online or in Paris.

What else do Olympic medalist get?

Winning Olympians also get another gift in addition to their medal and the official Olympic poster. They receive a plushie off the 2024 Paris Olympics official mascot, the Phryges . It's based off Phrygian caps, or liberty caps, which are soft conical hats with the top curled forward that are synonymous with the French revolution.

The special part of the Phryges winners get is it includes a gold, silver or bronze medal emblem on the mascot's belly for whatever medal the Olympian won. On the back of the plushie is the word "Bravo" in French.

For winners in the Paralympic Games, they get the official event poster as well as the Paralympic Phryge plushie.
