The students practice modeling and simulation in groups and individually, by treating given problems in selected areas of engineering and science. Both classic and novel methods, covering a broad application spectrum, are of interest. Finally, the students give a critical review, by an oral and written presentation, of the modeling and simulations methods applied for a given problem.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
