On  the 21^st June 2011 at the European Faculty of Engineering the Seminar devoted to presentation of students projects  was held. The seminar was organized for students of 2^nd year of Computer Modeling and Simulation (CMS) profile, who presented results obtained during the 4^th semester specializing projects. The Seminar programme contained  5 presentations (see project programme), the CMS student K. Kościuch  presented the overdue  3^rd semester project. Each presentation was followed by the evaluation of the project contents presented by project supervisor, then the questions time  followed, which enabled students to answer questions asked by memebers of Evaluation Jury. Evaluation Jury was as follows:

1. Prof. S. Drobniak –  EFE responsible and project supervisor
2. Prof. W. Elsner –  project supervisor and supervisor of 3 projects
3. Dr D. Asendrych -  CMS profile coordinator
4. Dr K. Sokół - project supervisor for 3^rd semester of CMS profile
5. Dr inż. Krystyna Malińska – EFE lecturer
6. MSc Łukasz Kowalczyk – project consultant
7. MSc Paweł Niegodajew  – project consultant

All multimedia presentations were delivered in English and the final grade reflected both the evaluation of project results, given by project supervisor  as well as the the grade for the presentation quality, evaluated by Jury. Members of  Evaluation Jury not only were asking questions concerning the contents of the project but also pointed out the deficiencies of presentations and indicated possible ways for future improvements. After the completion of Seminar the evaluation meeting took place and members of  Evaluation Jury agreed on the grades which are given in the separate link (project scores).

Members of  Evaluation Jury formulated the following conclusions:

1. EFE students presented a very good proficiency in English, which allowed them for fluent presentation and efficient discussion, the active participation and determination of students was also pointed out, that allowed to achieve interesting and valuable results, nicely presented during the Seminar

1. The outcomes of the Seminar clearly revealed, that projects are an important part of profiling the students knowledge that in turn  enable students to become familiar with most important issues concerning their future specialization

1. Members of  Evaluation Jury noticed a good selection of project topics, students of CMS profile became familiar with FLUENT and IPSEpro software packages, which are at present among the most advanced commercial tools used in the industry

1. The experience gained so far indicates that  project  seminars motivate students to improve not only their knowledge but  also helps students to learn the more efficient means of presenting the results

1. Evaluation Jury pointed out the deficiencies which were common to most of presentations, the lack of due care in quoting the bibliography was noticed in written reports, while the lack of proper balance was noticed in presentations, in general the background and motivation based on literature was too long, that left insufficient time for presentation of the project results

Project seminar for remaining EFE profiles will be organized in September 2011.
