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.
