7. Final Presentation Guidelines • Plan to give a 20 minute over-head presentation, with an additional 5 mins for questions and discussion • Presentations should be self-contained, and should be clear and precise • Briefly introduce the topic including • any background information • model developed for analysis • describe the investigation or simulation that was conducted • describe/analyze the results of the investigation • individual contribution

8. Suggested Presentation Guidelines • Title: Name the project and group members • Outline: Summarize the full presentation. • Introduction: Introduce the purpose and goals of the project. Provide any background material necessary to understand the presentation. • Model development for analysis. • Simulation/Investigation conducted. • Results: Present the results of the investigation. • Conclusion • Individual contribution • Questions and discussion.

9. Report Guidelines • Each project will result in a detailed 20-30 page written technical report • In addition to this, computer programs or any other related information can be added in appendix sections of the report • The project report should be well organized and self-contained • Also, it should be written with the readers in mind. Any class member should be able to understand your report, and benefit from the results you obtain • Therefore, you should include adequate references and/or background materials and you should use tables, diagrams, graphs, figures, and portions of printouts to enhance readers' comprehension of your project

10. Suggested Report Guidelines • Abstract. Gives succinct (to the point) information on the purpose, methods, results and conclusions reported • Introduction. Include background material and discuss the scope and limitations of your project • Main Body. Here model should be developed using the basic system equations for analysis. Be sure to fully describe any figures, tables or diagrams you include • Simulation results. This section should include simulation procedure, flowcharts, simulation conditions, system parameters, and finally the simulation results • Conclusions. • Recommendations, especially for future work and unsolved problems • References (must always be included) with almost no internet citation • Appendices, including supporting material as needed

11. General Guidelines • IEEE PES format (single column) • Submit a copy of your report and presentation slides to senc@uwindsor.ca for grading. Some projects may be kept by the instructor for the OCGS and CEAB inspection • Grading of written reports and presentations will be based upon substantive content, appropriate organization and use of allotted presentation time, and effectiveness of the presentation and report • Take the time to properly cite material written by someone else -- include references
