Evaluation and Grading System -

Engineering Cycle Overview

The Engineering Cycle at TEK-UP University lasts three years and is structured into six semesters. The first two semesters constitute a common core, covering:

Fundamental scientific and technical modules
Practical work and projects
General culture and opening modules
English and French language courses
Professional certifications
A mandatory internship

Specialization Phase

Starting from the third semester, students choose one of two majors that prepare them for engineering specializations:

Telecommunications and Networks
Computer Science

The specialization phase includes:

Specialized courses and seminars
Teamwork and communication modules
Personal development and human skills training
A learning project
Professional certifications
Entrepreneurial challenges
A mandatory professional internship

Assessment of Modules (Paniers)

Each module group, referred to as a “Panier,” is graded from 0 to 20. A Panier is validated if its average is ≥ 08/20.

Homework
Lab work (TP)
Exams (DS and final exams)
Mini-projects
Presentations

Admission After the Main Session

Overall yearly average ≥ 10/20
No Panier with an average < 08/20

Students failing these conditions may attend the remedial session only for non-validated Paniers.

Calculation After the Remedial Session

Remedial exam score replaces the original exam score
Or replaces the DS score
The higher resulting average is retained

Redemption (Compensation Rules)

Up to two non-validated Paniers if overall average ≥ 10/20
One Panier if overall average is between 9.50 and 9.99

Grade Review Procedure

Students must submit a request within 48 hours of result publication. Grades may be kept or updated after review.

End of Study Project (PFE)

The sixth semester is devoted entirely to the PFE (minimum 15 weeks). The thesis counts for 30 ECTS credits.

Project management
Technical execution
Interim reports
Written thesis
Oral defense

Evaluation of the PFE

Scale	Pass Grade	Meaning
10 – 12	Pass	Fair
12 – 14	Pass	Pretty good (Assez Bien)
14 – 16	Pass	Good
16 – 18	Pass	Very good
18 – 20	Pass	Excellent

Repetition Rules

Students not admitted after the remedial session are considered repeaters. With administrative approval, they may keep validated modules (≥ 10/20) and retake all others.

Requirements for Obtaining the Engineering Degree
