  21. Personal Experience In contrast to the curriculum of Technical University of Munich (TUM), the major lectures are compulsory in YSU YSU students have always two midterm exams from the majority of final examination subjects In order to be able to participate in final examination, students are obligated to collect at least 16 points from the two midterms in total (from 40 possible) Student won't be able to get the excellent 5 mark, if the sum of points of the mentioned two midterm examinations is less than 25 In contrast to examination procedures in TUM, students are asked to answer mainly theoretical questions of the course. Usually, practical skills and problem solving are not testified during the final examinations, since it is assumed that they should have been covered during the midterm examinations Internship programs, trainings as well as becoming a regular employee afterwards, in several famous branches of US companies like Synopsys, Virage Logic, CQG, Mentor Graphics, Synergy, so forth.
