Engineers Uplevelling incomplete upgrades.

A question about Engineering....

Let's say that I bring a ship to an engineer to have it's widgets enginnered to grade 3 'supercharged'... I also already have that engineer unlocked to grade 4, so I don't need to gain rep with the engineer in order for him/her to agree to do the work....

We roll the dice a few times but the grade 1 engineering is still only (say) 75% effective. At that time I notice the Grade 2 supercharged widgets blueprint has just unlocked for my ship. So we switch to that and roll the grade two dice a few times. When the effectiveness of the work reaches (say) 65% I get offered the Grade 3 supercharged widgets blueprint. Six rolls of the dice into that, all the effectiveness rings close and the engineering is declared complete.

My question is.... Is the module that I described being engineered above, now as good as/the same specification as it would be had I kept on rolling the dice at grades one and two, each until the "Upgrade completed" message is displayed for each. grade.

Erm.
Example:
If you are going to engineer to grade 5, you should jump up levels asap, don't complete intermediate levels. No need, it's a waste of mats.
The end result is the same.

Is that what you mean?

Yup - exactly the question that I was asking.... I'm fairly sure I missed the first few opportunities to skip ahead (a couple of which were quite painful - maybe three rolls to complete the last 5% - ugh!)
I just wanted to make sure that the end result would be the same if skipping ahead.
