In an effort to improve oral communication skills in engineering students, Muskingum University, a traditional liberal arts institution, tested the PechaKucha presentation style. In this style, students were required to present their design and/or research projects in 6 minutes and forty seconds. The presentation included 20 slides with duration of 20 seconds each. This style was used in two different courses with different kinds of projects. Senior students presented their research project for the Electromagnetics course, and sophomore students used the style to present their design projects in Statics and Dynamics course. After the presentations, students were required to answer a questionnaire were they compared their experience using PechaKucha style with traditional Power Point presentations. Details of the assessment tool and results of the student's questionnaire are presented and explained in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
