Organize the presentation with a fairly simple outline
Introduction / Background
Objectives / Goals
Methods / Materials / Procedures
Results / Relevant Findings / Key Data
Discussion of Results / Strengths / Weaknesses, etc.
Summary / Conclusion
Follow-On Work
Overall Content
You are presenting to colleagues in the wafer test industry; so naturally they are interested in your talk. They want to learn how your ideas may affect or help them. However, you only have the floor for a short amount of time, so communicating a few key / significant ideas / points will stimulate interest and encourage off-line follow-up to further discuss more complex ideas. Use of color, pictures, charts and illustrations will liven your presentation. Short video movies that highlight a procedure and are integral to the presentation are acceptable.
