Faculty of Water Management and Engineering Communication Systems

About the faculty

Faculty of Water Management and Engineering Communication Systems, one of the largest faculties of the Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction, was established by the decision of the Academic Council of the University from 20.09.2001 in connection with the ongoing reforms in the education system. This faculty is organized on the basis of the faculties of water management and ecology, engineering systems and structures.

The faculty trains specialists in 5 specialties. Applicants wishing to enter the faculty must take part in the entrance examinations conducted by the State Student Admission Commission.

Organization of education

Lectures at the faculty are conducted in the format of projects, lectures and practical classes. Depending on the specialization, project-oriented subjects consist of a course project, a course work, which consistently complement each other throughout the entire teaching process.

The student's knowledge is assessed with a maximum of 100 points. The student gets 50 points during the semester and 50 points in the exam. The 50 points collected during the semester include:

for attendance - 10 points

for individual work - 10 points

according to the results of classes, seminars or laboratory classes - 30 points

If the course work (project) on the subject is envisaged, then 20 points are given for training (seminar) and laboratory classes, 10 points for preparation and defense of the course work (project).

The student's score on the exam should not be less than 17 points. A student who does not participate in more than 25% of all hours allocated to the subject will not be admitted to the exam in that subject.

According to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), a student's knowledge of the final score on a subject during the semester is assessed as follows:

Less than 51 points	- "insufficient" (F)
51-60 points	- "fair" (E)
61-70 points	- "satisfactory" (D)
71-80 points	- "good" (C)
81-90 points	- "very good" (B)
91-100 points	- "excellent" (A)

4th year students undergo a 14-week Technological Manufacturing internship in the last (VIII) semester under the supervision of an internship supervisor appointed at the relevant specialties, and are evaluated by a commission established at the university on a 100-point scale.

Students are considered to have graduated from the university by passing the State Examination on Final Certification or defending their dissertation.

The process of assessing the knowledge of students is carried out by means of tests and written examinations at the end of the semester (autumn and spring semesters), depending on the subjects taught. Academic debt arises if students studying in relevant specialties do not pass the semester exam in any subject during their studies. Participates in individual and subgroup classes for the relevant semester on the basis of the student's application to the dean's office to cancel the academic debt, and an exam is held at the end of the semester.
