Although we have had numerous presentations over the course of our studies, this would be the first time we show our findings in a proffessional setting. Our original task was to compare the measurements of two specific sensors, however we were provided so much peripheral material that it was easy to get side-tracked. We whittled down our results to make sure we were on subject, and gave our interpretations of the data.
One aspect of internship we only realized after the fact was that our conclusions were of practical use for our collegues at MET. While the presentation may have been a mere 15-20 minutes, the following discussion we had was nearly twice as long (though it felt much longer!). To see not just how one presents and interprets data to a workplace, but how that workplace in turn makes decisions based on the data was useful experience.
Until next time!
