Dear Students, Academic and Administrative Staff and Valuable Visitors

Welcome to our Faculty of Engineering!

The Faculty of Engineering was established as the first Faculty of Engineering in the Aegean Region in Izmir, a city with 8500 years of history that has been the gateway of civilizations to the world since ancient times and has preserved its strategic value with its natural riches until today; and has enabled an important education and research infrastructure to flourish and take root here. As one of the leading universities in the city, our Research University contributes to many projects in national and global research by taking into account the international research priorities and country priorities that have developed over time.

The Faculty of Engineering aims to be a pioneer in the fields of education, research and innovation in today’s world where technology and science are rapidly advancing. Our aim is to train well-equipped engineers who are recognized worldwide, have ethical values. In order for our students to maximize their academic and personal development, we provide all kinds of support with our modern laboratories, advanced technological infrastructure and expert academic staff in our 12 departments – Computer, Environment, Electrical-Electronics, Industry, Aviation and Space, Construction, Geophysics, Geology, Mining, Machinery, Metallurgy-Materials, Textile. We aim for our students to not only develop their professional knowledge and skills, but also to increase their competencies such as critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork. In relation to our country and international priority strategies, the Faculty of Engineering has determined sustainable development priorities in many areas from water resources to climate change, from renewable energy to aviation and space research, from machine manufacturing technologies to fuel cells, from clean production technologies to nanotechnology applications. Our Faculty, which aims for excellence in establishing and developing pioneering research capacities with determination and without losing touch with the current situation in order to achieve development in these axes, contributes to R&D studies in the public and private sectors by training engineers who are experts in their fields. In addition to brilliant students who want to improve their education and training knowledge in our Engineering Departments, it is also a center of attraction with its current infrastructure for students from universities abroad, especially those with whom it cooperates. In addition to the international exchange and research-education programs it conducts/initiates in Europe, it aims to become an international education center in Izmir by strengthening its regional network by matching its current infrastructure with other research institutions and organizations on a global scale. Our engineering programs are accredited by accreditation institutions such as MÜDEK.

With our research and development activities,We aim to contribute to society by collaborating with industry and to pioneer the technological transformation of our country. Our programs, research networks and infrastructure, prepared in accordance with our faculty’s philosophy of education through research, are a center of attraction not only for our students but also for all researchers. Our faculty is one of the important research institutions of our country in terms of developing complementary strategic collaborations and leading research by increasing its visibility in the eyes of national and global stakeholders as a pioneer actor with the research it conducts in all departments. In this context, it continues to share knowledge and experience with national and international projects, conferences and seminars. As a faculty, we aim to inspire our young engineering candidates and train them as leaders of the future, while preparing them to take an active role in academic and social life.
