Technological wonders abound. And yet the technology for presenting
that technology seems to encourage presentations that are less than
wondrous. The audience that basks in the PowerPoint glow of an
engineers' talk is likely to be verbally overwhelmed, confused, or just
plain bored.
"We as a disciple, we need to do a better job in presenting our work,"
says Michael Alley, a professor of engineering communication at Penn State and the author of The Craft of Scientific Presentations.
"There are so many important decisions that are made about energy,
health, and safety that involve people understanding what we know."
