When you create a poster for this event, remember to use both words and images to tell people about the work you did, why it was important, and what you learned while doing it. See below for tips taken from actual judge feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set up the problem:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand and clearly communicate the problem that you are trying to solve.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFocus on WHY it is important vs. WHAT it is. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nExplain your solution:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nCommunicate the practical real-world application and how it would be used in real life. <\/li>\n\n\n\nWho or what is impacted? How?<\/li>\n\n\n\nAlways ask yourself \u201cso what?\u201d and lead with that mindset. <\/li>\n\n\n\nInclude results (not just future work). <\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure the conclusions are clear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nMake it simple and easily understood<\/div>\n\nMake sure what you are trying to convey is clear on the poster and easily understood.<\/li>\n\n\n\nYour poster should be able to stand on its own, without you having to explain it. <\/li>\n\n\n\nInclude introduction, objective, methodology and results. <\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure your poster is organized so content flow is clear. <\/li>\n\n\n\nYour poster should be understandable to someone outside of your field of study. This is important: minimize technical jargon.<\/li>\n\n\n\nInclude two or three key findings with complex statistical results translated into simplified charts, tables and bulleted text to convey your findings as part of a focused and understandable story.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nCharts and images: how they can help tell your story<\/div>\n\nUse charts and images to tell your story, not to fill space.<\/li>\n\n\n\nA picture is worth a thousand words only if it is helpful in telling your story. Ask yourself why you are using each chart or image.<\/li>\n\n\n\nA poster should have visual design elements to simplify the information and allow for participants to engage with the poster from >6 feet. <\/li>\n\n\n\nImages and charts should be in color, clear and large enough for people to understand. <\/li>\n\n\n\nThink impact: small charts make the presentation hard to digest. <\/li>\n\n\n\nIf using figures on poster, make sure they are described clearly, so they could stand on their own. <\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure to include space between charts, images and copy on poster (so it\u2019s not too crowded). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nTips to give your text maximum impact<\/div>\n\nYou are creating a poster so don\u2019t make it read like a paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure these items are on the top of your poster:\n\nYour name and department or major<\/li>\n\n\n\nYour faculty advisor<\/li>\n\n\n\nPoster title<\/li>\n\n\n\nCollege of Engineering & Applied Science logo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nInclude introduction, objective, methodology and results. <\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure initial problem and conclusions are clearly communicated. <\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure to acknowledge sources and the people that helped you.<\/li>\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT: Check for typos and errors in punctuation.

All posters should measure 44″ wide x 36″ high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recommend using one of the following templates. Download a copy and \u201cSave as\u201d your own poster on your device:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please name your poster file with your own name and category (not the title of your poster). To make file names more legible, please capitalize only the first letter of each word in the file name. For example, FirstnameLastnameUGResearch.pdf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a reminder, these are the categories to choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not use spaces, dashes, underscores, etc. in the name of the file and keep file name length to a minimum.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Intellectual property (IP)<\/strong>, in general terms, is anything useful and tangible that results from a person\u2019s creative efforts, including artistic ingeniousness or inventiveness. Patents and copyrights are legal mechanisms to protect IP. If you have developed something new it may have value and be useful to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn general, you should not communicate details of your inventive work that would enable someone to copy it. Oral and\/or written communication to anyone outside your lab is considered public disclosure. This hinders your opportunities to protect your idea. You should discuss potential IP with your research advisor before presenting your poster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you think that you have developed intellectual property that could be patented or copyrighted, you are encouraged to file an invention or copyright disclosure in our Inventor\u2019s Portal<\/a> through UW-Milwaukee Research Foundation (51ÁÔÆæRF).

In general, you should not communicate details of your inventive work that would enable someone to copy it. Oral and\/or written communication to anyone outside your lab is considered public disclosure. This hinders your opportunities to protect your idea.
