Poster

Submission: In D2L and on paper in class.

Please note, the poster session is subject to finding a poster printer that we can use.

You are to produce a poster as part of your project. This poster must be finished by the deadline to allow time to print all of the posters. We will hold a poster session on the assigned date during class time. We will invite the public to attend this session. If you miss the printing deadline, you are responsible for printing the poster yourself.

Your poster should include (but not limited to ):

• An introduction to the topic.
• A discussion of the work you have done.
• A summary of your results.
• A description of future work.
• A bibliography.
