Being nervous in front of an audience of your peers is natural. The only time I get shakey is if the presentation I am making is very important to me.
The best thing to do to combat shakey nerves is to practice your presentation over constantly, preferably in front of a mirror. Practicing in front of a mirror helps you to see what good and bad facial expressions and gestures you make while speaking so that you can correct them.
Also make sure you know your subject throughly. The better you know your topic of presentation the more relaxed you will be while talking about it. The more relaxed you are the less scripted your presentation will sound so your audience won't be bored.
You probably won't feel completely comfortable presenting, but you won't be as nervous.
The more you get up in front of an audience to speak the less nerve racking presentations will become.

I used to, but my job involves occasionally speaking to groups. The first few times I did this I was quite nervous, but now if I am speaking about a topic I know well, I can do it fairly easily. The most important thing is being prepared. That means knowing a lot more than you have time to say in your talk, and likely knowing more about the subject than anyone in the room. Try to make the topic meaningful to your audience--if possible, try to relate it to their lives. Finally, make a conscious effort to speak slowly and clearly. I still have a problem sometimes of speaking too fast. Try to relax a bit before you have to speak. If possible, take ten slow and deep breaths before getting up to speak. Good luck.

Everyone does, especially the first few times. Some actors even get "stage fright" before an on stage performance.
The anxiety will go away with practice.
