Abstract
This article tests a new concept for the assessment in engineering education. Its philosophy is based on the new target for exam. It should be a teaching test (not only a collecting). Also, the ruling content must elevate the level of examined student (not only testing but also an aptitude addition). A real model is chosen for a faculty of engineering in Egypt based on low student density in either lecture or practice classroom, or laboratory. The topics are classified into three groups as basic sciences, special engineering and general engineering courses. The students are grouped into three groups as high-score, middle-mark, and low-grade levels. The percentage graduation distribution of students (and the mean level) is deduced and provided for different arenas of study towards the high level only within the period of study. It is included that the concept of assessment should be modified. The article provided an analysis for the quality of appraisal from work of the year to the written test through the oral judgment as well as the laboratory and even the conference (deliberation) as the projects of students in engineering colleges to optimally evaluate the students and their actual abilities (not only the achievement processes). The COVID-19 pandemic leads the educational process towards the online activation not only in lecturing but also for the test applications as significant part of valuation. The paper provides a simplified study for the engineering situation in terms of the recent tremendous development to reach the global progress as seen in the major developed or advanced industrial countries. The study is exposed to the importance of Arabic language to deal with for quickly adapted globally. The study also emphasizes the demand to establish the thinking pillars through engineering education.
