2. Abstract (100 words) A very brief overview (1 paragraph) including:
- The Problem or issue being addressed and your
- Proposed Solution (Hypothesis / Research Question) including:
- Material System (and its properties)
- Phenomena being leveraged/harnessed/manipulated
- Fabrication methodology being utilized
- Program—Update with your teams proposed use (and other potential uses?) [UPDATE]
3. Introduction / Background
- Problem you are addressing in E Harlem (and why) and the Science of the problem
- Phenomena/Mechanism(s) of your Solution and the Hypothesis/Research Question
4. Literature Review & Precedents (precedents only if relevant and if needed)
- Situate the existing knowledge base you are drawing on (Vernacular, Biological, etc)
- Establish the Mechanism (phenomena/science) you will be harnessing/manipulating
- Include a Diagram to illustrate your phenomena
——
- Present Precedents that informed your research
- Identify gaps or opportunities your research can address
- Explain how your research builds on/expands (or challenges?) existing work
- How is it different, new & novel?
5. Experiments/Testing (Methodology) [EDIT/SHORTEN]
- Explain your Testing Methodology—Physical Tests
- What did you do? What equipment did you use to measure/quantify? What did you observe/record?
- Show photos, videos, tables/data
- Testing Methodology—Digital/Simulations
- Explain your simulation setup.
- Show us your simulation results/visuals. Consider including animations if relevant.
- Did the results between digital and physical match up?
- Did your tests validate your hypothesis? Why or why not?
6. Material System Design/Development (6 slides) [EDIT/UPDATE]
- Explain your proposed Material System design
- Diagram your how your system works / the phenomena (same as poster)
- Exploded Axonometric showing local form—components & assembly [UPDATE]
- Explain Materials & Structural Logic
