Level of Qualification

This program is a first cycle (undergraduate) program of 240 ECTS credits in Computer Engineering. Students who complete the program successfully and acquire the program competencies receive an undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering.

Admission Requirements

In line with the academic and legal procedures of the university, the students who apply for admission into the program should follow the process governed by ÖSYM and succeed in the university entrance examination. Students who have started an equivalent program in Turkey or abroad may apply for transfer to the program. Application of the student is evaluated before the semester starts considering the credentials of the student and the degree for which s/he is applying. Detailed information regarding admission to the university is available in the university catalogue.

Students, who come to the university from abroad through exchange programs whose conditions have been drawn by an agreement and approved by the university may take the courses offered in the program. To take a course, the student should demonstrate that s/he has completed its prerequisite courses or their equivalents. All courses in the program curriculum are conducted in English.

Occupational Profiles

Our graduates are employed in a variety of sectors including IT, communications, finance, production, defense and hold positions such as Software Developer, Software Architect, Test Engineer, Project Manager and System Analyst. Meanwhile, many of our graduates continue their education at the graduate level and receive Masters and Doctorate degrees in the area of Computer Engineering and related fields.

Graduation Requirements

In order to graduate from the program, a student is required to complete a total of 44 courses including 37 compulsory courses, 2 free electives and 5 technical elective courses (3 out of 5 should be departmental electives) to receive a total of 143 credits and 240 ECTS and obtain a CGPA of at least 2.00/4.00. The list of courses in the curriculum are provided in the “Course Category Table”. Among these courses, CSE 492 Graduation Project allows the student to apply the knowledge they have acquired during the program to a real-life engineering project. Moreover, each student is required to work as an intern for an institution that has been approved by the department for a total of 20 working days. This compulsory internship is listed with a course code of CSE 400 in the table.

Evaluation of The Program

Program learning outcomes are evaluated by using Computer Engineering Program Learning Outcome Evaluation tool shown in Figure 1 located at http://cse.yeditepe.edu.tr/oda. Instruction Evaluation is done via a poll applied to the enrolled students by filling the Instructor Evaluation Forms shown in Figure 2.
