First Electrical and Computer Engineering Design Day
December 5, 2006
$1500 in Cash Prizes for Students!
Prize Categories:
- Senior Design 2, $500 in total prizes!
- Other Participating Undergraduate Design Courses, $500 in total prizes!
- Graduate Research Poster, $250 prize!
- Open Competition- Any ECEN Student (classes, clubs, individuals), $250 prize!
Judging criteria: Prizes will be awarded by a panel of ECEN faculty judges. All projects and posters will
be judged by the following four criteria except the graduate student posters which do not have a
demonstration. Each of the four criteria is equally weighted. The judging is completely independent
of any grades assigned in courses.
Criterion #1: Presentation materials & project display
A poster of approximately 3’ x 4’ in size directed at two audiences. One half of the poster should be
aimed at a non-technical audience and describe the purpose of your project in a way your friends or
parents can understand. The other half of the poster is aimed at a technical audience and describes to
engineers your technical approach, the relevant results, and how the project works (block diagram,
flowchart, etc.). You may use additional display materials if necessary.
Criterion #2: Demonstration
The judges will evaluate each project on (a) how well it works and (b) how well the demonstration is done.
Is the demonstration interesting, focused, and short?
Criterion #3: Discussion
Can the design team answer technical and non-technical questions? Can the team explain the purpose of
the project to a parent or a high school student?
Criterion #4: Attitude
This criterion judges students’ salesmanship and marketing skills. Are you enthusiastic and excited
about your project? Is your enthusiasm catching?
