[Policy for Academic Achievement Evaluation]
In order to develop leading engineers and researchers who are adept at using information technology and possess advanced practical and creative abilities that can facilitate the global expansion of technology, students will be evaluated based on their level of achieving the above objectives through examinations and reports in lecture subjects, as well as through reports and oral examinations in seminars and experiment/practical classes. Student performance in the examination of a subject shall be assessed using a 5-point grading system (S, A, B, C, and D). Grades S, A, B, and C are passing grades, while D is a failing grade. Students who pass a subject shall be awarded the designated credits. In addition, the research achievements of students shall be reviewed and assessed based on specified thesis screening criteria and methods.
