Questioning Process
a. Why is education important?
Education is important because it teaches us what we need to know for jobs and life. It
helps us make good choices and can make our lives better.
Yes, I believe education is a human right. Everyone should get to learn and grow no matter
where they are from. Education can help make the world a fairer place.
I learn best by doing things. When I can try things myself, I understand and remember them
better.
A good teacher should be patient, kind, and really like teaching. They should know how to
make learning fun and interesting for everyone. They should also help when students have
questions.
EPN also stresses its commitment to affirmative action, ensuring freedom of thought,
expression, and worship without discrimination. It promotes university autonomy, freedom
of teaching and research, and a co-governance regime, emphasizing its crucial role in the
country's educational and technological advancement.
Study System
If a student passes a subject, then the corresponding credits are counted for the student,
which accumulate as they progress through their studies.
Although proficiency in both spoken and written English is a mandatory requirement for
students in professional and postgraduate programs, this subject does not grant any credits.
Curriculum Structure for Professional Degrees
If a student wants to get an undergraduate degree in engineering or sciences, then they need to
finish 225 credits from courses and do a graduation project that is worth 20 credits.
If a student aims to get a technologist degree in a higher-level technology program, then they have
to complete 140 credits from courses and do a graduation project that is worth 15 credits.

Careers of Interest
Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering helps reduce bad effects from buildings and growth. Engineers from the
National Polytechnic School can make and fix systems for clean water, handling waste, stopping
pollution, and helping the environment. They are trained to think big, lead, and work by themselves.
They can work in many places because they know how to deal with environmental issues. The goal
is to train top engineers in civil engineering to plan, design, build, and manage construction works
while being good and ethical. The program aims to be well-known everywhere, supported by strong
science and tech, and connected with public, private, and other universities. Graduates are ethical,
responsible, and good leaders with a strong background in science, math, and engineering, ready to
face environmental problems.
This program trains people to handle, analyze, and understand big and complex data from different
sources. They learn to find patterns and useful information in data to help make important decisions
and solve data problems in any area. This makes organizations and the country better economically,
socially, and environmentally. The degree is in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, lasting nine
periods, under the Faculty of Systems Engineering. It's taught on-campus.
