I can organize a concise design-review narrative, assign team roles, rehearse timing, and create a demo contingency.
POE Unit 5 • Lesson 5.17
Final Presentation and Demonstration Prep
Focus question: How can a team present the design as a coherent evidence story and demonstrate it even when live conditions change?

What You Will Be Able to Do
Final presentation and demonstration plan
The presentation connects problem, requirements, concept, prototype, evidence, revision, and recommendation within the time limit.
Activity Flow
How the Lesson Moves
Each step produces a decision, artifact, or test result needed for the capstone.
1. Build the evidence story
Select visuals that advance the engineering argument.
2. Plan the demonstration
Define setup, operating sequence, roles, safety controls, and backup evidence.
3. Rehearse and revise
Use timed peer feedback to remove repetition and unsupported claims.
Lesson Interactive
Organize the Final Evidence Story
Apply the lesson concept to a capstone aerospace-systems scenario. Use the feedback to correct your reasoning before completing the main deliverable.
Final Story Sequence
- Show the prototype and chosen system concept
- Define the mission problem and stakeholders
- Close with the final recommendation and next step
- Present test evidence against requirements
- State the critical requirements and constraints
- Explain the most important evidence-based revision
- Explain why the selected concept won the trade study
Order the evidence story and plan for a professional, time-controlled demonstration.
Today’s Work
Main Deliverable
Final presentation and demonstration plan
Create one focused engineering artifact that demonstrates today’s capstone progress.
- Prepare the final presentation with assigned speakers and evidence-based visuals.
- Submit a live demonstration plan with safety controls and a backup method.

Capstone Debrief
State the most important engineering decision your team made today.
Name the evidence, requirement, interface, or risk that supports that decision.
Identify the next action and the person responsible for completing it.
