The methods of assessment and evaluation, including the types of examinations and their contribution to the course grade, are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles established by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).
Various methods such as assignments, projects, practical applications, midterm exams, and final exams are used in assessment and evaluation. Systems based on letters or numerical grades are employed to assess student achievement.

The assessment and evaluation methods used in the program are structured in accordance with the principles of the Turkish Qualifications Framework (TQF) and the regulations set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). All assessment processes are directly aligned with the intended learning outcomes of each course and are designed to measure students’ knowledge, skills, and competencies in a holistic manner.

A variety of assessment tools are employed throughout the program, including quizzes, midterm examinations, laboratory assessments, applied exams, project evaluations, design reports, homework assignments, presentations, fieldwork assessments, and final examinations. The specific assessment components, their contribution percentages, and evaluation criteria are explicitly defined in the course information packages.

Both formative (process-based) assessments (homework, laboratory performance, projects, midterm exams) and summative (outcome-based) assessments (final exams, applied exams) are utilized. These methods collectively evaluate students’ engineering problem-solving abilities, analytical thinking skills, design capabilities, laboratory competencies, and communication skills.

Student achievement is graded using the letter-grade system defined in the Erzurum Technical University Undergraduate Education and Examination Regulations. Letter grades (AA–FF) represent the student’s performance in the course, each associated with a specific grade point coefficient. DC and DD indicate conditional success, while FF represents failure. “Z” denotes failure due to absenteeism, whereas “M/G” grades correspond to exemption or pass and are not included in the GPA calculation.

The cumulative academic performance of students is determined by the Grade Point Average (GPA), calculated by weighting each course’s European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) value with its corresponding letter-grade coefficient. Depending on the nature of the course, the assessment system may be based on absolute grading, relative (curve-based) grading, or instructor-based discretion, and the method used is announced at the beginning of each semester.

Assessment and evaluation processes are regularly reviewed within the program’s internal quality assurance mechanisms and are updated when necessary. The relationship between the learning outcomes of each course and the assessment tools used is clearly defined in the course information packages and is accessible to all students.

This comprehensive approach ensures that students acquire the engineering knowledge and skills required by the program and that the achievement of program learning outcomes is measured reliably and effectively.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

• The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education and training activities, as well as other related operations in higher education institutions.

• “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” prepared for higher education institutions within the framework of the criteria set by YÖK are published annually. Based on these reports, YÖK also shares quantitative and qualitative evaluation reports with the public.

• YÖK annually publishes the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report,” which includes academic, administrative, and financial data regarding foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which contain both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are also shared with the public by YÖK.

The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is maintained in accordance with the “Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs”:

1. Development and Approval of Curricula

• YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required to establish undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

• 1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the intended learning outcomes for students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

• 1.2. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions after being approved by YÖK, following acceptance by the relevant Deans’ Council.

2. Assessment and Evaluation

The assessment and evaluation of learning outcomes for each undergraduate program are carried out in accordance with the education and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions, in line with the fundamental principles established by YÖK.

3. Certification

Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor’s degree upon successful completion of the course credits and other requirements set by the higher education institutions.

4. Internal and External Evaluation

As part of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter their Institutional Self-Assessment Reports from the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK publishes the Institutional Feedback Report related to the external evaluation of higher education institutions for public access.

Furthermore, accreditation decisions made by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that programs meet the quality assurance requirements. YÖKAK regularly conducts review activities on qualifications as required by its regulations.

Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs (MÜDEK)
