Choosing the right field is crucial for the person's future, and his country's development. Meanwhile, in Moroccan's engineering schools, many students integrate a given field, only because it's the tendency, and their ranking allowed them to reach it. While they could have excelled in their most appropriate field, and give the best to their country. In this paper, we described the Moroccan system of integrating the engineering schools. After that, we proposed a model to classify the students according to their main skills, on the basis of their grades and a test of his personal skills. Then, we studied the requirements of integrating the engineering schools fields. After that, we proposed an automated system for matching the students to their most adapted fields. Finally, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed model, an experiment was conducted on PCGE students.
