Poster Presentations
POSTER PRESENTATIONS:
All interns in the NSF MESA Summer Team Internship Program are REQUIRED to complete a Team Poster Presentation and to present their poster as a team at an Annual Luncheon in August. Industry representatives, academic guests, and all interns will be invited to this luncheon.
Poster presentations will be an opportunity to create a cohesive visual of your experiences at a company. As a team, the poster MUST look professional and cohesive.
Students will need to be creative in thinking about themes to help accomplish this goal.
POSTER PRESENTATION DUE DATES:
Students will submit 1 electronic poster per team to Angeline Yang (ayang@projects.sdsu.edu) for feedback and review. Posters that are not presentable/professional will not be given financial support to be printed in color.
Students will then be given an electronic copy of their poster with feedback, edits, and suggestions from the MESA Center Directors. Students must edit their posters then submit the edited copy of the team poster to each supervisor(s) for review and approval
POSTER PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS:
All interns will collaborate to create 1 cohesive poster per team. There are no exceptions. Students will need to be creative in creating a poster that ties his/her experiences together under the headings:
Introduction
Methods
Results
Conclusion
Please feel free to add graphics. Interns MUST get his/her supervisor’s permission to include graphics from the jobsite, project, etc.
During the actual presentation of posters, students will give a general overview of the company and internship. Students can then talk specifically about their experience, what they learned, and how they hope to apply this to their learning and another job.
If students worked at different companies or different projects they try should come up with talking points to show cohesion. This can mean talking about the team component, collaboration, being a support system to each other, and similar and different ways students handled challenges and successes.
