Under the esteemed patronage of Professor Dr. Hassan Shakir Majdi, President of Al-Mustaqbal University, and under the direct supervision of the Al-Mustaqbal Center for Artificial Intelligence Applications, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Center, a specialized training workshop was held as part of the summer training program for students of the College of Engineering and Engineering Technologies. The workshop aimed to enhance students’ skills in preparing and delivering academic presentations for their graduation projects. The session was conducted by programmer Sarah Sadoon Abbas, who provided hands-on training on the fundamentals of effective presentation design, impactful delivery techniques, and academic content structuring tailored to seminar standards. Students continued presenting their projects in an interactive learning environment enriched with feedback and in-depth discussions focused on evaluating performance and identifying areas for growth. Notably, one of the female students delivered an outstanding presentation that was praised by attendees for its clear structure, focused content, and confident delivery—demonstrating the tangible impact of the training on students’ communication and presentation skills.
