The Institute of Mechanical Engineers hosts Speak Out for Engineering (SOfE) every year to provide students with hands-on, real-world knowledge of engineering disciplines. The purpose of SOfE is to improve communication and presentation skills in the future generation of engineers in order to bridge the gap between engineering technical knowledge and customer understanding. A competition like SOfE is critical in bringing potentially successful, but shy, individuals out of their shells and displaying their genuine abilities. SOfE being a signature event of IMechE, challenges young engineers to hone their presentation skills in front of a panel of technical expert and presentation specialists. IMechE NUST Student Chapter is hosting this event for participants from within NUST. The winners will head out to compete on a national and then finally on an international level. Each participant is given a time of 15 minutes to deliver the presentation effectively and then 5 further minutes to answer the questions raised by the judges panel. Thereby not only improving the presentation skills of the competitors but also their question handling ability. The competition is held at various levels; from individual chapters to international platforms. The aim is to provide the participants an opportunity to pitch their engineering projects and innovative ideas to a mix of technical and non-technical panel. The challenge is to convey their pitches effectively so that the panel of three judges understands the bigger picture and could grasp what is being delivered. Speakers were encouraged to use different presentation aids such as models and animations.
