In each instance, the senior ECE consultantwas charged with meeting with their clients to identify their technical needs and then to negotiate areasonable scope of work (given the 20/40 hour engineering time constraint). After agreeing on projectscope they were charged with creating a project plan, list of deliverables/milestones and a Gantt chartschedule. Clients ranged from professors and staff of the university to community partners. It was animportant aspect of the project that students would begin to take stock of what

Students are also encouraged toremember that posters are a visual experience so font size, organization, and graphics are allimportant at conveying your point and that language needs to be concise.
