Computer Engineering Department

Computer Engineering is a branch of engineering that includes the applications of algorithmic processes encountered in the field of hardware and software. It also provides solutions to problems encountered in technological, economic, scientific and social fields. There are four main areas in which students are trained in this discipline: theory, abstraction, design and practice. Theory provides the mathematical and scientific background of computing. Abstraction involves the principles of modeling algorithms, data structures, hardware architecture. Design and practice refers to the use of tools and theory necessary for the development of hardware-software systems. These tools include programming languages, databases, network protocols, client/server architecture, artificial intelligence, etc.

Computer Engineering programs include courses in basic sciences, basic engineering, social sciences and computer science. The foundation of Computer Engineering is provided by courses in theory, programming, computer organization, numerical design, numerical analysis, algorithms and data structures. In advanced classes, operating systems design, database applications, computer graphics, computer architecture, microprocessors, programming languages, object-oriented programming methods and software engineering are covered. Final year students combine their creativity, knowledge and motivation with the latest technology to prepare a final project.

The Department of Computer Engineering offers scholarships to students who are successful in ranking and scoring. Here you can get information about both the scholarship programs of the department and the general scholarship opportunities of Yeditepe University.

The Department of Computer Engineering of our university aims to train computer engineers who have knowledge in the fields of science and mathematics as well as computer engineering and who can use the theoretical and practical knowledge they have received during their undergraduate education to solve problems by transferring them to the field of engineering. At the same time, engineering students should be aware of the global security and environmental impacts of these applications.

Our department, which has been continuously accredited by the European accreditation body MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Education Programs) since 2008, provides education in accordance with international standards. In this sense, students are given theoretical and practical training on computer networks, hardware basics and software, and thanks to the 8 general purpose and 10 special purpose laboratories within the department, students can conduct research and develop projects according to their fields of interest.

Students who can double major in many different undergraduate programs can receive a second diploma. In this sense, graduates of our department have the opportunity to work in different sectors as well as computer engineering.

Undergraduate Program Outcomes

Yeditepe Students

Students with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.20 and above, who have completed at least one academic semester at Yeditepe University and will continue at Yeditepe University for at least one more semester in order to graduate upon their return, may apply to continue their education abroad for one semester through Erasmus or exchange programs.

Erasmus agreements are made between departments. Exchange agreements are university-wide and are limited to quotas announced by the international office. You can get information about the schools we have agreements with from the department Erasmus/Exchange coordinator. Application dates for each semester are announced by the International Office and announced in our department. Click here for detailed information and application.

Shortly after your application, you will be required to take a language test. The date of the exam is announced by the International Office, you need to follow it. Students who score at least 60 points in the language exam will take an oral exam on a date determined by the department Erasmus/Exchange coordinator. Your status is determined according to your success score and the quota for the school you want to attend. Following this, you can find all the forms you need to fill out and the procedures you need to do on the international office's page.

The financial status of the student who goes abroad for a semester with any exchange program continues at the University. Erasmus students are also provided with some financial support under the name of grant. The amount of this is announced by the International Office. Students can waive the financial support if they wish.

You can access the most up-to-date list of ERASMUS connections of our department from the International Office Agreements page (The link to the Agreements page is https://international.yeditepe.edu.tr/en/international/agreements/agreements). Negotiations for new agreements are ongoing. In addition, new agreements can be made with the requests and initiatives of students.

Minor

1. Candidates from other departments of Yeditepe University who wish to minor in Computer Engineering must take at least 7 courses that are not in their major. The courses required for a minor in Computer Engineering are listed below.

2. A minor in Computer Engineering requires a minimum of 23 credits.

3. CSE 114 is a prerequisite for many courses in the minor. For minor students, ES 112 Algorithms and Programming (4 credits) is considered equivalent to CSE 114. If the student has not taken ES 112 before, he/she must take this course before starting the minor.

4. If the minor student has already taken a course or its equivalent in the minor program or if it is a required course of his/her major, he/she must take another CSE coded course instead of that course.

5. Each minor student will have an advisor from the Department of Computer Engineering.

Minor Program

Double Major

The double major program allows students pursuing an undergraduate program to obtain a second undergraduate degree by fulfilling certain requirements. Students pursuing a double major program complete the total credits required for graduation in both majors, and fulfill the other requirements of these programs.
