The Mock Presentation

The presentations will be held next week. The presentation is created. using a great open source tool. It is called LaTeX - Beamer. Using this tool someone can create astonishing presentations, which will be pdf format. Professional themes and good looking free fonts can be found. The presentation that I have created about nanotechnology is linked here.
     Introduction to Nanotechnology
(The document should be viewed in full screen mode)

Microsoft PowerPoint is the most common and popular software for making presentations. PowerPoint 2007 is little different from Office 2003, but it is only the interface. The easy access ribbon menu is the most important thing. The underlying system is almost the same. Anyone can access the old looking interface when he/she wants to adjust something that is not on the ribbon. But it has some cool templates to create presentations and glassy looking fonts. :-)

(But I Prefer Open Source Software)

Interesting Event

Rather than publishing information only about materials engineering, it is good to put some departmental information on the blog too, as I feel.

Today it is announced that there will be some presentations under skill development module and I am nominated to do a mock presentation to motivate the others and give them an idea about how to prepare a presentation. I am glad that I got that opportunity.

So What I am going to do? :-) As I am always inspired by the term nanotechnology, I am going to present some basics of nanotechnology.
