4 TEK GRADUATE SURVEY 2018 Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland TEK and Finnish universities in technology together carry out a yearly feedback survey for graduated academic engineers and architects. The feedback and results are utilized in developing university education and influencing the educational policy making. TEK is responsible of accomplishing the survey and the universities are responsible of reaching their new graduates. The survey is directed by a Directory Board having a representative from every participating university.
