Secrets to a Terrific Technical Talk

Brought to you by Prof. Betty Lise Anderson of the Ohio State University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

If there were ever a more able educator to help explain how to make the technical both empowering and exciting, that person would be tour-de-force professor Betty Lise Anderson of The Ohio State University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

For more than 25 years, Anderson has made learning and speaking about engineering lively, entertaining and memorable across campus and Ohio.

Current Ohio State ECE students, and anyone else curious to learn how to advance their presentation skills, can now take advantage of her advice. In past years the presentation has earned large crowds, so get there early. 

"It doesn’t take acting skills or stage presence to give a good technical talk, but it does take some planning. It's not the same as writing a paper! We offer some strategies for organizing your talk so that people can grasp your awesome technical content without being scared away or put to sleep," Anderson explains. "We’ll also go over how to make effective technical slides, and share some great stories from…unusual… presentations we have witnessed."

The event is free and open to the public.

Date: Wednesday, Sept. 7

Time: 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.
