The experience of presenting my work to peers in an in-faculty setting was an invaluable experience, giving me confidence to do this outside of the University. I would thouroughly recommend involvement in Make Some Noise to other research students.
Make Some Noise 2009
Faculty of Engineering Research and Public Engagement Festival
Introduction
The ability to communicate your research in lively and accessible ways to non-experts is an important skill – and essential to gaining future employment or funding for research and scientific development. While prospective employers or award-making committee members might be scientists they are unlikely to have expert knowledge in your precise field of research. So you will need to explain your work in persuasive, clear and non-specialist terms. If you can do this the potential to network other researchers and sources of interdisciplinary or other collaborations will be at your finger tips.
Make Some Noise 2009 provided free training, practice and competition opportunities for Faculty of Engineering researchers to engage a wide range of audiences with their engineering research. The skills developed in the process are highly transferable across a wide range of research and professional contexts.
