Examinations are graded on letter grading system as stated in the university senate legislation July 2017, Article 92. However, the grading system for internship course shall be described as excellent, very good, good etc.,

Table 1. Grading System

Graduation requirement for undergraduate Mining Engineering programs should satisfy the following minimum requirements as stated in the university’s senate legislation July 2017, Article 109. A student must have passed all prescribed courses earning minimum total 187 credits except to phase in and phase out program.

• A cumulative grade point average CGPA of 2.00 must be obtained;
• A cumulative grade point average CGPA of 2.00 in Core courses;
• No ”F” grade in any course/ taken for undergraduate program;
• Student who fail to graduate due to less CGPA than the required or due to “F” grade have no more chance to upgrade their CGPA or to remove their “F” may be given certificate of attendance with their transcript stated as “ Graduation failure”
• Successfully defended his/her senior project/senior essay
• The student must score ≥50% in National Exit Exam.

In English: Bachelor of Science Degree in Mining Engineering

In Amharic: የሳይንስ ባችለር ዲግሪ በማዕድን ምህንድስና

Each course will have a prefix; each prefix contains four letters without any space will be followed by four digits. In assigning code for mining engineering courses, the first two letters of the word ‘Mining’ and ‘Engineering’ are taken with M and E in Capital i.e., MnEg followed by four digit numbers are used where by:

• The first digit represents the year (level) in which the course is given,
• The second digit indicates the category number, to which the course belongs,
• The last two digits indicate the semester in which the course is given.
• All courses given in the first semester represent by odd number (01, 03, 05, 07 …etc.)
• All courses given in the second semester represent by even number (02, 04, 06, 08…etc.)

To maintain the quality of the program it is important to keep the admission requirements up to the standard. This is achieved by strictly following the guideline for admission to the Mining Engineering department which is in line with the general university requirement and Senate Legislation.

Mining Engineering Graduates will have expertise to contemporary problem solving, be engaged professionally, and have continued to learn and adapt, and have contributed to their organizations through Creative, leadership, and teamwork.
