AB  - Educating, Enlightening, and Entertaining: Audience Perceptions of the  Educational Value of a Presentation Competition for Engineering                              Students                                              Like many of our colleagues at ASEE, the authors of this paper believe that showcasingthe ideas and presentation skills of our engineering students benefits both the presentersand the audience. More of the world needs to know about the valuable work ourengineering students – future engineers – are doing. And their messages are bestdelivered by the engineering students themselves: They can educate, enlighten, andentertain their audiences – even about challenging technical topics, from accessible watertreatment for developing countries to the potential of quantum computing.This paper describes the results of a survey of audience members at a presentationcompetition for engineering students at a Canadian post-secondary institution.Engineering students and faculty members in the audience were asked about theirperceptions of the educational value of the competition for both the competitors and theaudience members. They were also asked about their perceptions of the personalcharacteristics of the competitors.Overall, the results of the survey pointed to an overwhelmingly positive response to thepresentation competition and the educational value it provides. Both faculty and studentsresponded that the presentations were educational, enlightening, and entertaining. Theywere impressed by the presentation skills and the technical knowledge of the presenters,and they were inspired by the presentation strategies and ideas presented. At the sametime, the students in the audience personally identified with the presenters and wereencouraged by seeing “students just like us” presenting so competently.These results will help us capitalize on the educational value of the competition as well asprovide directions for future research.
