Presentation 1 – Futuristic Buildings
Key points: Susceptibility – Strength of Building. Material use and engineering methods to cope with natural disasters. Future possibilities of materials used for building. Speed of construction (tools and techniques) – Important to be Disaster resilient and expandable. Sustainability – Efficiency Energy Use. Interesting building designs that can overcome natural disasters, constraints and limitations.
Innovative approach to include a model as visual aid. Topic covered seems to be too wide a spectrum, the content might not be very concise and flow of presentation is not so smooth, especially in the application of new technologies. However, research is well-done. Great job!
Presentation 2 – Clean Energy
Creation of electricity by tapping into natural cycles and systems. Good introduction of current issues. No visual aid was provided, making presentation hard to digest. Covered several types of clean energy generation, great depth and width of research done. Supported by casestudies. However, presentation is too lengthy, can highlight a few important facts and move on quickly.
Presentation 3 – Nano Technology
Good introduction to the use of nanotechnology and how it can be applied on various areas. Several impacts of nanotechnology is presented by the group and covers a full range of sub-topics. Contents are supported by pictures and multimedia making presentation interactive. Impacts- Information is insightful and concise. Overall great presentation with good flow and content.
