Section 8 – Oral Presentation

RFI No.: 98

Subject: Section 8, Presentation  

Date: 02.27.12

The CNCCC has received two similar questions regarding submission of PowerPoint presentation before the competition: Our host school is requiring oral presentation oral submissions before conference (See mailer 3 attached to this email). Is this within rules for the school to require the presentation to be submitted before conference? The host school is requesting we send our presentations to them a week before conference. Is this really necessary? I could not find it in the rules, and thus wondered if it is even fair to cut out that extra week that could be spend editing the presentation.

Response: We have reviewed the Mailer 3 from Cal Poly Pomona (we have not attached the mailer to this response). The mailer indicated that the “Technical Paper Power Point Presentation” is to be submitted prior to the conference. This is not the presentation that is for the concrete canoe competition. There are two requirements for an ASCE Conference – a business meeting and a technical paper competition (all of the other competitions are generally held at the same time since it makes sense to do so). The Technical Paper referred to here is not the design paper that is part of the concrete canoe competition. They did not request submission of the concrete canoe presentations.
