Report
The Student-Faculty Programs Office requires that all students submit two
written progress reports, an abstract, a final technical paper, and a final
oral presentation. These reports help students develop good communication
skills, focus on progress toward their research goals, and synthesize the
work done over the ten-week period.
Progress Reports
Follow these progress report writing requirements. Deadline: 5:00 PM
on the July and August pay dates.
Abstracts
Abstracts are compiled into an abstract book for each of the scheduled seminar
days. Please follow these abstract writing
requirements. Deadline: 5 PM on the August pay date.
Final Technical Paper
Follow these final report writing requirements.
Please read and follow them carefully.
Final Oral or Poster Presentation
All students are required to give an oral or poster presentation on one of
the regularly scheduled seminar days. However, some students may arrange
to give their presentations at other times.
The SURF Talk Book provides assistance in the
preparation of the oral presentation. The purpose of the book is not a speech
textbook that gives useful information for all types of speaking presentations,
rather its focus is for undergraduate students presenting technical information
to a general audience. For guidelines, access the SURF
Talk Book (pdf).
