At department of Physics of the University of Orleans, a group of students in 'Licence de Physique' Bachelor level have experimented for the first time, the numerical project practice using the COMSOL Multiphysics® Class-Kit. This teaching unit, entitled Scientific Computation and Simulation, concerns 40 students and was conducted on 5 sequences for COMSOL Multiphysics®  tools initiation (2 hours for each sequence) followed by 5 sequences for the project implementation and achievement. In this oral presentation the focus will be on the education methodology developed during this short period (less than 3 months) in which the pair of students were very creative and started some original projects. The best projects (Thermo-acoustic effect in the human brain, Green fitness room, Doppler effect on solid-state media, Music instruments resonance...) will be described throughout the methodology and there innovative suggestions.
