  • Abstract
    The art of public speaking for engineers is described in this paper. A couple of points are there for presentation skill. First, practice is more essential. However, almost nobody can present a seminar, lecture, or talk without mistake. Thus, the mistakes can be based on poor understanding or bad spelling but not laziness of lack of preparation. Therefore, familiarity with the research itself, background, results, and most importantly, with the presentation order and material is important. The second point in the same vein is that perfection is neither sought nor required. But an honest attempt at a good job is highly appreciated. Finally, when presenting, lighten up and enjoy the chance to interact with the peers and sonic of the famous names heard before. A conference is a meeting place of ideas and knowledge that offers both ideas and attention, but it also takes away new ideas and a newfound confidence in the work
