Message from the Dean of College of Engineering

Dear Students, Esteemed Academic Colleagues, and Valued Visitors,

Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture, and Design.

Our Faculty was established in 2008 under the name “Faculty of Engineering” and began its educational activities with the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Textile Engineering. Over the years, our Faculty has continuously developed both academically and in terms of infrastructure. In 2019, it was renamed the “Faculty of Engineering, Architecture, and Design,” and new departments—Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Basic Sciences, and Landscape Architecture—were added to its structure. Today, our Faculty continues its journey with an innovative and high-quality educational approach that meets the requirements of the modern age.

Our goal is to educate contemporary, participatory, inquisitive, environmentally conscious individuals with a high sense of responsibility toward the ecosystem, who think critically, respect ethical values, and possess interdisciplinary collaboration skills—well-equipped engineers and designers who can compete nationally and internationally. To achieve this, we prioritize a hands-on educational approach that enhances our students’ professional competencies and practical skills. With our ever-strengthening infrastructure, well-equipped laboratories, and highly qualified academic staff, we provide our students with a high-quality learning environment. Thus, we take pride in being among the leading universities in Türkiye in terms of student satisfaction.

We also encourage our students to take an active role in R&D processes to maximize both their academic and personal development. We provide them with the facilities and support needed to generate projects and take part in research. Our students actively participate in numerous projects and research activities supported by our university, the private sector, public institutions, and national and international research funding programs.

In line with national and international strategic priorities, we are determined to continuously enhance the quality of education and train competent, reputable, and globally recognized engineers and designers. In this regard, our Departments of Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering have been accredited by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs (MÜDEK), while our Department of Landscape Architecture has been accredited by the Association of Landscape Architecture Education and Science (PEMDER). These accreditations are concrete indicators of our Faculty’s commitment to quality assurance in education.

Our distinguished academic staff not only carry out high-quality teaching and learning activities but also contribute to national and international knowledge production by publishing scholarly research, participating in projects supported by various institutions, and engaging in academic collaborations both in Türkiye and abroad—thus supporting the scientific and economic development of our country.

With the mission of contributing to the future of our nation and humanity, our Faculty continues to work devotedly with all its academic and administrative members to educate individuals who think critically and creatively, uphold ethical values, and adopt an interdisciplinary perspective in the fields of engineering, architecture, and design. We warmly invite all prospective students who wish to be part of this vision to join us.

With sincere regards,

Prof. Dr. Handan UCUN ÖZEL
Acting Dean
