Monday evening was project presentation day for the project teams in the Software Engineering class (CS-487, Fall 2012, instructor Virgil Bistriceanu.)

Each team selected their own project and then worked for 14 weeks, in an agile fashion, on producing working software; on presentation day they unveiled the result of their work in front of their peers.

Each team gave a ten minute presentation of their project followed by Q&A.
