• GROUP PRESENTATIONS:

• Form groups of 5 people.  Please email me gjohnsto@ucsd.edu ASAP with the names of your group members and your topic.  If you need help forming a team, please email me and I will find one for you.
  

• The group project is to study nanomaterials, nano-device, nanotechnology, bio-nano technology or related aspects by reading journal articles, news items, patent literature, other internet available information, and summarize what you have learned into two parts: a report and a class presentation using powerpoint.
  

• First, find the topic that you and your group members like  e.g., nanorobots, GaAs nanotubes, etc. Then, read several papers and/or websites, and summarize the information into ppt file slides and a written summary. Next, submit the ppt file via email gjohnsto@ucsd.edu by Monday 3/11/13 at Midnight so that I can load it onto my computer in advance for class presentation. Finally, practice your presentation with your group!
  

• A summary write-up (~10 page total length single space including some figures and a list of references/websites that you used). The report should contain introduction, priciples involved, future technology, and reference list. The report can be submitted in pdf format via email (gjohnsto@ucsd.edu) or a printed copy can be submitted in class. The report is due Tuesday 3/12/13.
  

• The presentations will be done in the last week of the class ( two last classes Tu 3/12/13 and Th, 3/14/13). The presentation date for each team will be posted on the website as soon as I get all the team names and topics. Please be prepared to present either day. For the group presentation you will have ~7 minutes, with such a short amount of time we ask that you delegate the talking portion of the presentation to 2-3 representatives.

TEAMS 1- 11 WILL PRESENT TUESDAY AND TEAMS 12-22 WILL PRESENT ON THURSDAY.

Please send me your slides ASAP.
