The role of an engineer is both varied and multifaceted, and whilst technical expertise is undoubtedly important, today's engineers need to be able to communicate this knowledge effectively. Oral presentations are a useful communication tool and allow information to be delivered to an audience in order to share knowledge or to stimulate a discussion. This is a learned skill and one that is frequently called upon in the workplace. Giving a presentation is not one of the easiest things to do. For many it can be both nerve-wracking and stressful.

Best Practices for Oral Presentation
Preparing and Delivering Oral Presentations - Academic Skills - Trent University
It is always a good idea to structure your talk so that anyone in the audience can understand what you are presenting. A good scientist should be able to present complex, scientific ideas, no matter how technical, in a simple, easy to follow manner. Complexity is not a necessity, it is an annoyance. Understand your purpose. This way you can get the point of your talk across appropriately and affectively by catering to your specific audience.
Tips for effective presentation
The fundamentals of public speaking remain the same in any context, be it classroom, conference, parliament or crowded city square. Good public speakers use simple and clear language to communicate complex points. They pause when they speak, and they deliver their message with confidence derived from their knowledge and preparation. A presentation is not a dry list of disconnected facts.
Here are some tips to help you bring order to the ideas swirling in your head—and communicate the key points about your research to an audience. Find out how long your talk should be. As you decide what to present, keep in mind that a ten-minute talk is very different from a minute lecture. Time yourself giving your talk, and make cuts if you need to. It is fine to end a bit early.
