Couloucoundis Prize for the Best Presentation of a Senior Design Project

The prize is given to the best presentation of a senior design project. The purpose of the prize is to encourage students to present as professional and polished discussion of their work as possible. That means being able to explain the project in a clear, concise, and persuasive manner. The presentations will be judged to use the same guidelines under this category used in the school-wide competition. (How is the project presented? What arguments does the presenter give to support his/her project?  Are the arguments clear and easy to understand? How are the presenter's language skills? Is the supporting material focused and convincing?) Recipients of this prize must present their design at the School-wide competition.

  2008   Esteban Argudo, Brian Cohen, Matthew Ford, Kimberly Gallant, Patricia Leskiw
