1. In fact, it doesn't matter what PPT is. Unless there are special requirements, if you really want to toss, you can bring your own projector. As long as it takes less than 3 minutes from the door to the beginning of the explanation, the jury will be impatient.
2. The atmosphere can be ignored. You can sit in front of some radishes and cabbages. As for those who are nervous about everything, they simply scare themselves.
3. Dress appropriately, don't wear fancy clothes, male students don't wear earrings, and don't dye their hair indiscriminately. Some old professors don't like that; As a female classmate, you can dress elegantly and bring jewelry, but don't dress too brightly. The overall feeling should be dignified. Mini, big earrings and heavy makeup can only bring unnecessary trouble to yourself.
4. The process is actually very simple: there are several debaters sitting in front of a row of tables. After calling you, you give them the paper first, then show your drawings on the platform, and then give full play to your eloquence. Usually you will be fooled by professors, and they will let you go.
But remember, there must be no obvious mistakes in drawings and designs, especially some common-sense and unprofessional mistakes. For example, the lines that should be erased have not been erased, and you have drawn everything on the left. This simple mistake is generally easy to see, and professors often can't tolerate it.
Another thing to note is that if you are a science and engineering student, you should be professional in folding drawings and be able to fold them. Never fold in half first, then in half, then in half-it's a shame to say it. The professor can't even fold a picture. How did you study these four years? Then why not play tricks on you? A big picture, like an accordion or folding fan, is folded left and right, so that drawing is not only easy to unfold, but also easy to retract, so that you won't be in a hurry. These are all to give yourself an impression.
You should know one thing:
For most defense judges, he may not have been deeply exposed to your topic before. All he knows is your on-site introduction and the paper you gave him. In other words, he only has about ten minutes to prepare-you have prepared for at least three months.
If you don't plan to win the prize for your thesis, you can only pursue good results in your defense. You may wish to familiarize yourself with your papers and achievements repeatedly, and collect as much relevant knowledge, expansion and practical application as possible. When trying to explain, he is eloquent, clear-headed and fluent in language. After a set of lectures, many professors can't ask questions. I can only ask you some simple and popular questions. Remember, you really don't know this problem. Don't pretend to know it. Your opponent is an old fox. If you don't pretend to know, it's self-defeating When they ask you questions, you must be modest and prudent, treat them like uncles, and you'd better serve them with a smile (practice in front of the mirror in advance).
The process of my defense at that time was basically fooling the professors.
The paper was rushed out overnight four days before the defense, and the drawings were copied from the ready-made design. The calculation answer is partly worked out by others and partly based on those data. No one will calculate your calculation process when defending anyway. If no one else is involved in your project, then your final result is reasonable. )
Remember to sweet talk and ask your tutor in advance about your group of defense judges (usually easy to do, sometimes your tutor will explain your defense skills and introduce the defense team members. If not, you can ask), the project director, and then call the director; Associate professors are called professors; It's nothing. Maybe the judge came to make up the number. If you don't know how to call it, just call yourself "you". Anyway, it's bigger here than you, so it doesn't hurt to be modest.
When I arrived at the defense site, I spoke for more than 30 minutes, focusing on the purpose, scheme, ideas, uses, design concepts, design innovations, structural advantages and disadvantages, practicality, production costs, promotion prospects, improving the level of designers, broadening ideas and broadening horizons. In short, I just fooled the professors. When I finished the introduction, several judges really had nothing to ask. They asked them two questions and let them pass: I finally got one-I don't think it's reasonable to be so good.
Remember: generally, each person gives about half an hour. The less time you spend explaining, the more free time you have for the judges, and the more dangerous it is for you! Keep them listening to your explanation, and they won't have time to think about the structure and defects of your design. In the end, they usually ask you a few random questions and let you pass. For safety reasons, it's best to control your presentation time to 27-29 minutes, just leave some time for the judges. They will delay the defense time a little, but only for a few minutes. There is no extra time to embarrass you. I met some classmates, only said stupid things for 5 minutes, and then: please criticize the teacher. As a result, the judges really satisfied his wish: it took him half an hour to approve the whole design to pieces, and then he took it back for revision and prepared for the second defense-why bother? Speak more vividly for a few minutes, and you won't die. Why take it back for a second defense?
I heard that a senior once told a quick novel first, which was lively and interesting, and it was quite a story-telling. Finally, the defense team leader looked at him and said, OK, bag it (at that time, if you pass the defense, the jury will give you a portfolio, let you bag the papers and drawings, and finally write your name: bag it, which means you can graduate smoothly)
Of course, these are just experiences.
