Project retrospective presentations will be held on May 26th and 27th, 2016. There are 7 sessions total, 3 sessions on Day 1 and 4 sessions on Day 2. Check the sessions for the number of presentations they can accommodate.

Each team will have 12 minutes to present and 3 minutes for questions and answers. As a minimum, the presentations should cover the following:

• Project background, goal, and objectives
• What have you done? Did you or will you achieve the goal?
• Did you deviate from your original scope? If so, why?
• What did you learn?
• What steps will be taken for the future? What will become of this project?

The presentations will serve a few purposes:

1) Project retrospective – provide the teams with an opportunity to assess how the project went, a chance for reflection, to talk about what went well, and what could be done differently. The ultimate goal is to identify lessons learned.

2) ABET accreditation fulfillment – within 1) above, directly or indirectly answer a) a knowledge of contemporary issues, b) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning, and c) understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
