Department of Mechanical
Engineering
•
The Department of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1937 within the body of
the Istanbul Technical School. The department applies a curriculum working towards
the benefit of our society and humanity within universal criteria, transforming research
results into technology and focusing on specialization with optional branch education,
furthering its mission to become the leader among similar institutions of national and
international reputability. Our aim is to provide the necessary education to raise
engineers who are capable of assuming active roles in the technical, administrative
and R&D work of industrial enterprises, can produce solutions, possess the abilities of
analysis and synthesis, follow and apply technological developments and are able to
produce technology; carry out national and international research, produce solutions
to industrial problems and contribute to national growth.
•
Our department has 7 divisions and its academic staff includes 66 professors,
associate professors, assistant professors and teaching staff and 46 research
assistants.
