The Faculty of Engineering was founded in
1981. Schooling is eight terms (four years), and
there are 14 departments, some programmes
offering voluntary preparaory courses in the
English language.
The Department of Computer Engineering is
multifaceted. The programme is predominantly
designed to train students in the field of software
engineering and follows a parallel course to the
programmes of American Technical Colleges. There
is a compulsory year of English language

learning
and 30% of all courses are taught in English.
The Department of Environmental Engineering
teaches a field which is becoming increasingly
important. The aim is to train engineers who
will establish the necessary disinfection units that
will decontaminate environmental and industrial
waste, produce recommendations for their being
put to use and control this process, realize the
safe annihilation of solid waste, work for the
cleansing of fresh water and the development of
water sources, develop standards for and apply
environmental engineering, coordinate the evaluation
of environmental effects, and conduct the necessary
chemical and biological analyses in laboratory
conditions. Students are offered a year’s voluntary
course in English language learning.

The Department of Maritime Transportation
and Management Engineering teaches an
important field for a country surrounded on three
sides by seas. The aim is to use modern
technology to train engineers who are familiar
with the dispatching and administration of ships,
the usage and management of ship machinery,
and the maritime management and port
administratiom. Students are taught basic engineering
courses during their first four terms. During the
following four terms, students choose the study
of maritime
|
administration, maritime machinery
management or maritime transportation and
management. Students are offered a voluntary
year’s course in English language learning.
The Department of Electrical-Electronics
Engineering teaches the production of electrical
energy, conductivity and applications in electronics
and computering. The working language is English
and students whose English is not adequate are
offered ayear’s course in English language.
The Department of Electronics Engineering aims
to train staff able to work in international conditions.
The working languages are English and Turkish.
There are both compulsory and elective courses,
the latter opt which are designed to cater for the
fields of interest of the students. There is a year’s
compulsory course in English language learning.
30% of courses are taught in English.
The Departments of Electrical-Electronics Engineering
and Electronics Engineering will merge in the
2001-2002 academic year to become the Department
of Electrical-Electronics Engineering. The working
language will be Turkish.
The Department of Industrial Engineering is
equipped to approach all processes of production
from a stance of systems engineering, to plan,
apply, control, and realize this through organizational
transformation. The department differs from others
in two aspects: the field of quality is approached
with a stress on “Cummulative Quality
Administration” and this is offered in a two-year
programme, and the educational process is
sponsored by successful industrial establishments
and a bridge towards application is built during
training. Students can take a one-year voluntary
course in the English language.
The Department of Construction Engineering
aims to give a modern education in the fields
of building, transportation, geotechnics and hydrolics.
This is a field in engineering that arose out of
human needs and continues to promote the
individual and social standing of humans, making
use of current technology.
The Department of Geophysical Engineering
computes the magnitude of the material constituting
the globe according to their various physical
characteristics, both on site and in the laboratory
and aims thus to produce an in-depth picture of
the structure of the deep inner layers of the earth.
Not only does the science of geophysics enable
us to find economic treasures such as oil, metals,
and underground water sources, but, through
siesmology and other geophysical disciplines, it
also helps us understand the development of the
earth by studying the planet in depth. The field
is also involved in our analysis of the inner
structures of the moon and the planets. Another
area in which the department is interested is the
safe storage under ground of waste products that
harm the environment. A great deal of emphasis
is put on the study of the subjects of terrestrial
physics, siesmology, and the application of geophysics.
The Department of Geological Engineering
trains engineers who conduct ground studies for
the foundations of tunnels, dams, bridges, highways,
factories and houses, and investigate underground
water sources, various metal-, coal-, salt-, and
oil-beds.
The Department of Chemistry instructs in the
fields of analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry,
organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physical
chemistry. The curriculum is prepared with an
eye for the teaching of both theoretical chemistry
studies and practical and technical training. There
is a one-year voluntary preparatory course in
English language learning.
The Department of Metal Engineering aims
offering an education in the finding of metal
ores both under the ground and on the surface,
the enrichment of these, and their preparation
for usage in industry.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering
aims to produce engineers who will be able to
follow the intense technological developments in
the field, understand and solve, through synthesis,
the problems faced by industry, and who are
aware of the fundamental and applied principles
of science needed to develop technologies related
to the field. The emphasis is given to projects,
and computer supported studies are important.
There is a one-year voluntary preparatory course
in English language learning.
The Department of Metalurgical and Material
Engineering offers courses in production metalurgy,
the science of materials, and ceramics- refractors.
There is a one-year voluntary preparatory course
in English language learning.
