Disclaimer: This template is to help you assemble your presentation, but you are not required to follow this format; it is just a suggestion.Try to avoid squeezing your whole report into a set of slides. Instead, try to tell a story about your project that will be of interest to your classmates. What is unique about your project? What worked out well? What is something you learned?

Project Description

What is the goal of your project?

Images (pictures/illustrations/sketches) might help tell the story.

Instrumentation

What sensors, signal conditioning and A/D hardware did you use?  

Why did you make these particular instrumentation choices?  

What was the sensor interface to the A/D?  

Can you show that this interface included sufficient range and resolution for your application?

Instrumentation

Perhaps a flowchart like this might help?
