Culmination – Irma Vep Poster

Poster presentations are an important part of sharing your work with your colleagues in an academic setting. It is an easy way for people to meet and get a lot of information about a lot of projects all at once, and the informal atmosphere allows each viewer to go at their own pace – they can stop and ask questions about the posters that really interest them and they can skim and pass over posters that aren’t as relevant to their interests.

Your poster should highlight the most important and most interesting things about your project, but some of the information might be better delivered in a conversation with the reader. Use your judgement to create a poster that is a good conversation starter, and be sure to have lots of different people look at your draft poster so you can get their feedback.

Here are a few sample posters to consider: ENT4499-Poster Samples

Schedule

Budget

As many of you are preparing to finish your degree and enter the workforce, this may be the last opportunity you have to take advantage of the writing resources we have here on campus. Just because you won’t be writing term papers anymore doesn’t mean you won’t be writing. Once you enter the job market, you will need to be writing cover letters, professional emails, rehearsal reports, and all sorts of other documents. We have reports from companies who employ our graduates that their technical skills are very good, but that the writing of our graduates does not compete well against other job applicants.

Here on campus, you can visit the Atrium Learning Center in AG27 Monday through Thursday from 10am-6:30pm and Friday from 10:30am-3:30pm. Make use of this resource while you still have access to it so you can polish up your project portfolio writing and have something nice to show at the end of the project.

Hello All, I’d like to share some resources that you might find handy when creating your schedule and budget. You’ll find a PDF and video on Work Breakdown Structures, that can help you identify tasks needed to accomplish your project, and a video on budgeting that explains a 3 step process.

You will create an Openlab portfolio to catalog your work over the course of the semester. This is a good way to track your own progress and reflect on the work you are doing on your project. It is also a way to display your work for potential employers when you are looking for a job. Your portfolio should reflect your work, your learning, and your growth over the semester.
