dc.description.abstract	This paper presents a successful and innovative approach for improving presentation skills of undergraduates by incorporating PowerPoint presentation to laboratory practical assessments. The key aims were to improve oral presentation skills, to enhance the knowledge of undergraduates about the state of the art technologies and to improve the effectiveness of laboratory practical assessments. After completion of the first "presentation coursework" session, a noteworthy improvement in presentation skills and enthusiasm among undergraduates for making presentations was clearly seen.
