Engineering Education

It is aimed to train students in two ways, theoretical and practical. With this feature, it differs from other engineering programs in our country in the field of technological knowledge and application. To improve the engineering competencies of the students, both the laboratories available within the department and the opportunities of the construction sector operating in our country will be used. For this purpose, our students will be offered the opportunity to work in their preferred field in the construction sector for one semester in the last year in order to adapt to the working conditions in the sector.
