• From the course Outline: Students are required to participate in an "Open House" exhibition.

• We need the information from the registration form to decide who gets setup in which lab, and what equipment to place at each team's station.

• If your registration form is late, you may not be placed in the best of locations. Planning starts the day after forms are due.

• Each team will be assigned bench space in one of the labs based on equipment needs and FLC recommendations.
• Lab benches are cleared of all extra equipment, only the equipment requested on the registration form will be placed at the bench.
• Labs ENG301, 302, 303, 306, 307, 308, 310, 311 will be used, and possibly the Atrium.
• In the special requirements section of the registration form be sure to state if you need extra floor space for robots etc., and if you are using wireless devices and what frequency so that projects on the same frequency can be placed in separate rooms.

• Each EDP project is required to have a poster designed and submitted before April 10. These will be mounted in a three fold poster board and set up at the teams station, see below.

• If your project is Web based and relying on wireless access please see Jason Naughton in ENG439, to obtain a wireless access account for the open house as soon as possible, deadline is the last week of classes. Please note that wireless access from Ryerson's "NetReady" may not work at the bench your are assigned, it's best to have access through the electrical departments own wireless service.

• If you require hard wired network access, please make sure you indicate your need on the form. You will be contacted by e-mail to test connectivity in advance of open house. Access will only be granted for the Open House.

• Yes but in some cases access will be limited.

• Set up for open house takes about 8 days. Labs are cleared of equipment, benches are cleaned etc. While we are working on a lab it will be closed, usually for 1/2 a day.

• Power project labs are set up first, students assigned to these labs may use there assigned bench under the same conditions as during the semester. ENG308, 309, 310 will only be open when a engineering support person is available.

• ENG 306, 307 will be the last labs set up, generally the day before open house, once these labs are set up there will be limited equipment based on the needs of the team assigned to the bench.

• All labs will open 1 hour before the start of the Open House.

• Please dress as if you are going to a job interview. Industry guests will be invited to the open house.

• Remember to bring some up to date resumes.

• Lunch: The Dean's Office will provide pizza and pop.

• Food and Drink is not allowed in the lab normally, open house is the one exception.

• Please be careful, you are still responsible if you spill something and damage equipment, or cause an accident.

• Each EDP project is required to have a poster designed and submitted April 4-10, 2014.

• Poster dimensions: *2ft x 3ft (w x h, portrait only)*

• ELE/COE Students   email your file to   your FLC

• BME students email your file to karthi@ee.ryerson.ca

      Poster file name: Name your poster file using the following format:
      *student_last_names(all three students).xxx* (xxx is PDF, JPG, etc.)
      

• Poster must contain the following key information:

   1. *Title of the poster*
   2. *Name of the authors*
   3. *Motivation:* Brief the motivation of your project
   4. *Your approach:* Detail your approaches using text/figures/tables/charts
   5. *Conclusion:* Highlight your contributions and findings of the research

• Posters will be mounted in a three fold poster board and set up at the teams station, see below.

Reference: There are posters from 2013 on 3rd floor that you can use as references in design of your posters.

Sample Display Board

As the dean's office has not supplied a template yet for the poster, please have a look at the following.

Standard 24 x 36 from TTU, has some poster tips

Standard 24 x 36 From MIT, A completed project

Standard 24 x 36 from MIT, played around with the above poster

Sample supplied by Dr. Umapathy

If you are including pictures try and use ones with as high a resolution as possible otherwise they will look very pixelated when blown up to poster size.

If you are going to include the Ryerson Logo on your poster please follow the guideline found at http://www.ryerson.ca/branding/guidelines/logo/
