• At least one midterm exam (theoretical exam) is given in all courses offered in the programme. In addition, students' performance during the semester is assessed through short exams, assignments, presentations, etc. At the end of the year, final and comprehensive exams are held.

• Student-centred assessment and evaluation are based on competence and performance, and students are given as many opportunities as possible to express themselves. All these assessment criteria are used to measure whether the programme's educational objectives have been achieved.

• Short and mid-term exams, assignments, practical work and general exams conducted during a semester are evaluated together to determine the course grade. The weight of exams and practical work in the course grade is determined by the instructor and announced to students at the beginning of each semester. The meanings, coefficients, and numerical equivalents of the letter grades used in the evaluation are listed below (the ‘T.C. Ege University Measurement and Evaluation Principles Guidelines’ are used as the basis for evaluating students).

• The assessment and evaluation method applied for each course is detailed in the ‘Course Plan-ECTS Credits.’

To monitor the quality of higher education programs:

• YÖK is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising the education, training, and other activities conducted at higher education institutions.

• YÖK publishes "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for higher education institutions annually, prepared within the framework of criteria determined by YÖK. Reports containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher ducation institutions, prepared based on these reports, are also shared with the public by YÖK.

• YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" annually, which contains academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

The quality assurance of associate degree programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Creation and Approval of Curriculum:

1.1. The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of associate degree departments and programs at higher education institutions.

1.2. The curriculum of associate degree programs at higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each diploma program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles established by YÖK on these matters.

1.3. The curriculum of the National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.

2. Measurement and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes that each associate degree program will provide to students is carried out in accordance with the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles established by YÖK on these matters.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in associate degree programs receive an associate degree diploma upon successfully completing the course credits and other requirements determined by higher education institutions.

4. Self-Assessment/External Evaluation: As part of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the previous year's "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. Furthermore, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK demonstrate that quality assurance is provided for program qualifications. YÖKAK conducts regular reviews of the qualifications determined in accordance with its regulations.

Placement is based on the Basic Proficiency Test (TYT) administered by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM).

Vocational high school graduates must graduate from a secondary education program designated by the Council of Higher Education to transfer without taking the exam. Students who do not qualify for these programs can be placed in the program through the university entrance exam.

Students graduating from vocational associate degree programs can transfer to undergraduate programs such as Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Pilot Training, Aircraft Electrical and Electronics, Airframe and Engine, Airframe and Engine Maintenance, Aeronautical Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering, upon taking the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) administered by ÖSYM.
