“…Our focus on the poster as the "main product" of the course has at least three good reasons: (1) At quality conferences, most junior researchers actually present in a poster session. (2) The learning benefits from working on conference posters and poster presentations have been well documented [37,20,8]. (3) A poster can serve as a kind of masterpiece, something physical the students can take home and be proud of.…”

This article is on a university course called Engineering Conferences. It has been developed by the authors and installed as a mandatory part of the curriculum in three master's degree programs for engineering students. The participants of the course are postgraduates with different nationalities, mostly German, and different technical backgrounds. They study Mechanical Engineering, Simulation and Experimental Technology, or International Business Engineering. The basic idea of the course concept goes far beyond simply teaching the standards of academic writing and skills for using scientific publications. By using a learnercentered approach, the students get engaged in typical activities around an active attendance of a real conference. Students learn to locate the field of their bachelor thesis or project report in the world of research communities, scientific journals and engineering conferences. They learn about conferences matching their bachelor/project topic. They write a paper complying with common academic standards, submit it to a mock-up conference, and review submissions of their fellow students. Students also produce a poster and have to defend it in a poster session held publicly on the campus. Engineering Conferences is a course on scientific communication and presentation that also aims at the development of other skills and competences needed in the world of modern engineering.

“…Technical poster presentations are a common communication mode in which effective delivery depends heavily on succinct expression, audience analysis, and visual design. Much of the literature related to poster presentations deals with course-level poster presentations [2][3][4][5][6], campus research event organization [7,8], and professional communication instruction. The importance of expectations and visual design is noted [2,3].…”
