The title slide serves a number of purposes. For EG1003, it will identify your presentation for grading purposes. However, it also serves a number of other purposes. First, when you're setting up your presentation, the title slide is used to make sure the projector is properly focused and "zoomed" properly to fill the screen and make the slide readable to everybody in the room. Second, it insures that the audience knows that they're in the right place, and what they're going to hear.
Therefore, the title slide should have the following information:
The number and title of the lab
The course identification (EG1003) and section you're in (this way, in case your presentation gets lost, we'll know who to give it to)
The date the lab was performed
The date of the presentation itself
The names of the members of your group, usually in alphabetical order
All this information should be on individual lines, centered. One item of protocol: In industry, when multiple people are listed on a presentation, the leader's name is usually given first; if everybody is more or less the same rank, the names are given alphabetically, the practice we follow in EG1003.
When giving the presentation, the presenters should stand in the same order that their names appear on the title slide to help the audience to know who is who. In EG1003, the entire team (typically you and a partner) should be presenting. If somebody is missing, you should note that fact when they're place in the order of names comes up.
