MECHANICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAMME INFORMATION PACKET
Goals:
To educate and train mechanical engineers who have a firm understanding of modern engineering tools and
methods, a solid foundation of relevant knowledge, ability for analytical thinking, diagnosing engineering
problems, generating solutions and applying them, a solid notion of engineering ethics and responsibility,
awareness of and ethical stance toward major issues such as environment, global climate change, hunger and
human rights; to maintain close relations with national and international institutions of scientific knowledge and
technology to enable our graduates to continue their personal development and career; to carry out R&D projects
on contemporary and advanced topics and to generate knowledge and technology; to work toward a common goal
of promoting joint R&D activities at the University; to contribute to national and global development via these
activities.
Objectives:
To become an engineering department respected at national and international levels, whose graduates are
sought by industry and research institutions and which conducts R&D projects in close collaboration with
national and international industrial and research organizations, generates knowledge, disseminates it and
develops technology products.

Level of Qualification:
This program is a first cycle (undergraduate) programme of 240 ECTS credits in the area of Mechanical Engineering. Students who complete the program successfully and acquire the program competencies receive an undergraduate degree in the area of Mechanical 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 programme 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 programmes whose conditions have been drawn by an aggreement and approved by the university may take the courses offered in the programme. To take a course, the student should demonstrate that s/he has completed its prerequisite courses or their equivalents. All courses in the programme curriculum are conducted in English.
Occupational Profiles:
Our graduates are employed in a variety of sectors including Research and Development, production and management. Meanwhile, many of our graduates continue their education at the graduate level and receive Masters and Doctorate degrees in the area of Mechanical Engineering and related fields.
Graduation Requirements:
In order to graduate from the programme, a student is required complete a total of 48 courses including 42 compulsory, 1 free elective and 5 technical elective courses to receive a total of 149 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 table below. Among these courses, ME492 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 ME400 in the table below.
