Hello there,
As you know, next week is the presentation week for your final project.
This is how you’ll be assessed:
Technical description report-10%
Oral presentation- 15%
Pamphlet- 10%
Booth- 5%
Total:40%
Here are the things you should prepare
1. Technical description
2. Pamphlet-(you must include pictures of the whole product and each part)
3. Model (if you can’t find/make any, the last resort will be pictures/poster, but I prefer a model)
4. Some decoration for your booth(at least table cloth)
5. Formal attire (guys, please wear ties)
*Power point slide is optional. If you want to have it, bring your own laptop and make sure it’s fully charged.
Make sure you have enough preparation and practice. Good Luck!
REMINDER:PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS FOR THE LAST THREE ENTRIES. YOU HAVE UNTIL 30TH OCT TO DO SO.

Below are some jokes about engineer taken from this website: http://www.gdargaud.net/Humor/Engineer.htmlYou Might Be An Engineer If.... These jokes tell us the characteristics of a real engineer. I don't know if they are true, so I want you tell me your opinion about them by answering these questions:
1. Do you agree that the real characteristics of an engineer are as stated in the jokes? State your reason.
2. Write about '5 GREAT THINGS YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU BECOME AN ENGINEER' and explain in detail.
You Might Be An Engineer If...
* —You have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
* You enjoy pain.
* You know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
* You chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force".
* You've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
* It is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
* You frequently whistle the theme song to "MacGyver".
* You know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
* You think in "math".

* You are completely addicted to caffeine.
* You avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.
* You consider ANY non-engineering course "easy".
"Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet." — Scott Adams.
* When your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
* The "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
* You'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier.
* The blinking 12:00 on someone's VCR draws you in like a tractor beam to fix it.
* You bring a computer manual / technical journal as vacation reading.
* The salesperson at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions.
* You can't help eavesdropping in computer stores... and correcting the salesperson.
* You're in line for the guillotine... it stops working properly... and you offer to fix it.
* You go on the rides at Disneyland and sit backwards to see how they do the special effects.
* You have any "Dilbert" comics displayed in your work area.
* You have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work.
* You have never backed up your hard drive.
* You haven't bought any new underwear or socks for yourself since you got married.
* You spent more on your calculator than on your wedding ring.

* You would rather get more dots per inch than miles per gallon
* You've ever calculated how much you make per second.
