ECE 404 Progress Report

Oral Presentation

• You will give an oral presentation along with the written progress report., follow the same format as the other presentations. I encourage you to bring any parts you have received, breadboarded circuits, or anything you can show the class. These will be done the 10^th week.
• Be sure to include an introduction, the main presentation, and conclusions. Be sure to prepare and practice the presentation, and stay within the allotted time limits (10-15 minutes per group).
• Also, be sure to handin the evaluations, and be clear about who is the leader for this presentation and report. Each engineer evaluates everyone, including themselves. Include both written description of each members work, as well as the numerical evaluation (remember 5 points each, zero-sum process, I.e., if one gets 7 another must get 3).

Written Progress Format

The following format is meant as an outline. Include all the information in an organized, logical manner. The format best suited to a particular design problem will depend on the exact problem. The progress report should be about 3 to 5 pages. Use your own creativity and judgement in laying out your report. Remember, effectively communicating your design ideas is of primary importance.

1. Title page (title, names, date, 404 lecture section number, group number, etc.)

2. Current Status - what is happening now, changes?, problems?

3. Work Completed - include all work done on project so far. Mark on schedule.

4. Current Work - Active tasks you are working on now

5. Future Work - Immediate future work, as well as all work that needs to be done to complete the project.

• Include your schedule and mark according to status.
• Include a block diagram that can be cross-referenced with the schedule.
• Include a breakdown of who is doing what.
