As every year, the USQUID at EITIC has conducted an analysis of the performance of the 2020-2021 years’ TFGs (final-year undergraduate dissertations). Here you can find the most relevant conclusions and results both globally and specifically for each undergraduate degree. It should be noted that – exceptionally, owing to the health crisis – this analysis includes the results of the 2019-2020 end-year students who were allowed to submit their TFG in December 2020.

First, regarding global data, we note that:

• The average score is 8.42/10 (+ 0,02 compared to 2019-2020).
• The mode is 9/10 and the standard deviation is 1.27 (– 0.05 compared to the previous year).

Regarding data specific to each undergraduate degree, it can be observed that:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering (GEI)
  • This year’s minimum score has decreased by 0.5 points to 5/10. The maximum score remains constant at 10/10.
  • The mode has dropped by 0.5 points compared to the previous year, to 8.5/10.
  • The average score has risen slightly from 8.31/10 to 8.55/10 and the standard deviation has dropped by 0.12 points, from 1.26 to 1.14.
• Bachelor’s degree in Telematics Engineering (GET)
  • Only 4 TFGs of the 2019-2020 class have been submitted, the lowest number ever, 31 fewer than the previous year.
  • The score range has dropped to 5–7.8.
  • In 2020-2021, the average score has decreased to 6.08/10, dropping by 2.49 points compared to the previous year. The typical deviation has slightly dropped by 0.9 points, reaching 1.35 points in 2020-2021.
• Bachelor’s degree in Audiovisual Systems Engineering (GESA)
  • The number of TFGs submitted in 2020-2021 (41) has almost doubled compared to the previous year (24). The average score has risen by 0.2 points to 8.53.
  • Scores range from 5 to 10 and the mode has increased to 9, rising by 0.5 points. The typical deviation has risen slightly to 1.31.

Furthermore, this year we analyse the results of the TFGs by the first class of graduates from the bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Engineering in Data Science (GEMCD) and the bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications Network Engineering (GEXT):

• Bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Engineering in Data Science (GEMCD):
  • The average score is 8.50/10, that is, 0.10 points higher than the global average (8.40). Scores range from 4 to 10. The only failing score in the 2020-2021 class belongs to GEMCD.
  • The mode is 10 and the typical deviation (1.35) is practically tantamount to the global typical deviation.
• Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications Network Engineering (GEXT):
  • The average score is 8.10, that is, 0.30 points lower than the global average (8.40). Scores range from 5 to 9.5.
  • GEXT’s mode (7.5) is considerably lower than the global mode (9). The typical deviation is 0.99. Therefore, the dispersion for GEXT is the lowest among all the degrees analysed.
