About Us

Undergraduate Program in Mechanical Engineering welcomed its first students in September 2009. The first structuring of curriculum was carried out under the guidance of ABET criterion with the examination of leading mechanical engineering schools in the world and Turkey, in accordance with remaks of all stakeholders and consultants. Our Department also includes Bologna standarts in its structures. In the light of a new assessment phase conducted in 2014, we decided to be reviewed  by MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs)

Our Mission
 
The missions of the Department of Mechanical Engineering are to educate effective engineers and scientists with an entrepreneurial and researcher's spirit, who are equipped with fundamental scientific and technical knowledge and ability to use modern technologies which are essential in the design and development of new theories and technologies for the realization of the devices, systems and processes needed by the society and the industry, and to conduct fundamental and applied research in collaboration with the industry and other institutions to reach new information needed by the society and essential for the design and production of advanced technological products and processes.

Educational Objectives

Our graduates will be able to

1. Work as mechanical engineer, researchers or managers in national or international companies, 
    
2. Pursue master's or doctoral degrees in mechanical engineers, or a related field, in gradute schools worldwide, and eventually hold faculty positions in academia, and
    
3. Develop new products based on advances in mechanical engineering related fields  and/or start new high-tech companies.
