Additional challenge for senior 12's is to take last years engineering career project or pick a new one and condense/summarize (3-5, 6-8, and 9-11) above section to make room for additional slide topics below. These additional topics intent to show a process of planned practical/realistic steps you would take from High School (now) to get to your career position through the following topics:

Choose a Technological Design related career (I will limit each choice to two students only - I don't want a room of presentations for Architect or Civil Engineer so, first come, first serve!) Make sure you include of your sources on your Word/Google Doc. If you decide to create a Prezi, Slide Share, Mind Map or similar ensure that you have covered the requirements.
I suggest you start your research by copying the requirement sub-topics to a Word document, separate each as headers, then add your researched information below each of the header sub-topics along with source links. Once you have finished accumulating all support information on each of the headers sub-topics, create your presentation with a template/format that will accommodate, a header footer, key points, and a supporting image for each slide approximately 50/50 ratio. The key points must be large enough, have high contrast to background in order to see, give details of each sub-topic, and the presenter must be prepared to discuss further details during presentation (detail talking points kept separate). Presentation to be approximately 10 slides with about 30 seconds per slide on average to cover the 4-5 min presentation time length. Check out 20 Great Examples of PowerPoint Presentation Design, 108 Best Presentation Ideas, Design Tips & Examples for ideas and best practices plus further tips can be found here.
YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO PRESENT WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN!
Submit your Word doc file or Google Doc link to (remember to make sure it is a public share link so I can see it) your career presentation in the submission section of the website here on or before the due date with standard file naming, ex: tdj_careers _j-doe.xxx.
Prior to presentation, we will use the self and peer evaluation chart to double check that you have all required information. 2 marks will usually represent at least 4 points of unique in-depth related topic information, to ensure this is the case, you will need to work on presentation to the class.
Evaluation:
Ensure that you have completed all requirements, included related pictures, and lots of related resources. see the handout guide below for breakdown of marks, self and peer evaluation to be done at the time of presentation and handed in day of presentation.
