Technology Presentation Rubric
You will be creating a presentation of technology. This project is meant to
help give you experience in front of a group and with presentation
software. I suggest you choose something you are interested in already or
something that is relevant to your future career. In engineering, you will
need to present ideas and concepts to large panels of people.
Create a 8-12 minute (YOU WILL LOOSE 5 POINTS FOR EVERY MINUTE
UNDER TIME) Power Point, Prezi, or Google Slideshow including:
Choose product or system that interests you: Steam power, the
electrical grid, telecommunications, space exploration, flight,
prostatic limbs, vaccinations, cameras, make-up etc…
List 5 important innovations over at least a 50 year span. 100% (Each
innovation is worth 20%. More than 5 innovations is great but you
still have to complete in time. You can get a 5% BONUS on the
grade for an additional innovation within time)
Why is this innovation important to society at large? 4%
Who discovered or created it? 4%
Why did they do this? 4%
How did they do this? 4%
Include pictures, diagrams, and other elements. 4%
You must cite your work by including at least the URL or name or written
work. This is not worth credit towards the assignment (because you
should always give credit to your sources) but you will be deducted 10%
on the overall grade if it is not present.
