About the Department

Mechanical engineering is one of the most comprehensive branches of the field of engineering. Heat energy, manufacturing, industrial machinery and equipment, heating and cooling systems, transportation, and all kinds of machines give the opportunity for a mechanical engineer to work in many diverse areas, such as: designing new machines, developing new technologies, adopting or using the existing technologies in new areas, maintenance and manufacturing. These are among the fundamental objectives of students who wish to study mechanical engineering. Mandatory summer internship, technical site visits, seminars given by engineers or managers from industrial companies will provide an opportunity to obtain information about the wide range of practices. Annual career days organized by the university will enable students to better understand their interests and help choose their elective courses accordingly.

Educational Opportunities

Mechanical engineering is the foundation of the majority of the field of engineering. For this reason, our graduates who are trained in mechanical engineering can specialize in different fields of the industry. Our graduates have the infrastructure in which they can work in various fields such as automotive, aerospace, energy conversion, automation, manufacturing, environmental control, and bio-technology. Also, our mechanical engineers are trained to act with environmental awareness and professional ethics in the workplace. In this framework, our students are trained to show sensitivity to these issues in their designs and practices.

Turkey is a significant energy consumer and a significant energy importing country. Energy import dependency is around 75 percent while the country has very significant indigenous but idle energy resources. Energy intensity is high and still rising offering a remarkable potential for improvement. To understand the basic characteristics, problems of Turkey’s current energy policy as well as the enormous indigenous resource potential for improvement will motivate the students to propose a more independent, sustainable and affordable energy policy. Turkey is in the center of the Eastern Mediterranean energy policy developments together with Cyprus island. Such integrated characteristic will enable the student to have a wholistic approach to solving the current dilemma around the region. However before proposing a solution, they should be better informed about the basics of the energy game and the specifics of the region.
