If you email me and I don't respond - please try again! I receive many emails, and sometimes they scroll down the list before I notice them.
My colleague Dr. Mark Chang and I have put together a guide for engineers needing to make a technical presentation. You may find it useful: K. Compton, M.L.Chang, "Terrible Presentations (...and how to not give one)", 2004.	Note to graduate students seeking an advisor: Please make an effort to use correct grammar and spelling in your emails. Writing is an important part of graduate school. Please take the time to realize I should not be addressed as "Sir".
