The academic program in the Industrial Engineering Department covers the core areas of the discipline: optimization, applied probability and statistics, manufacturing system design and management, systems modeling, design and analysis. The interdisciplinary nature of the program prepares the student for a wide range of planning and production positions in public and private enterprises as well as in the service and financial sectors.

Current research in the Industrial Engineering Department centers on the topics of manufacturing systems, supply chain management, financial engineering, simulation, statistical modeling, discrete optimization, stochastic processes, ergonomics, and the dynamics of socio-economic systems. Research and teaching activities involve extensive use of Flexible Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing (BUFAIM), Manufacturing Management Systems (MMS), Socio-Economic System Dynamics (SESDYN), Ergonomics (ErgoLab) and the general-purpose undergraduate and graduate computer laboratories, as well as the Engineering School Laboratories.

The course requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering total a minimum of 139 credit hours of formal course work. Students may choose departmental elective and specialization courses in Production/Manufacturing systems, Operations Research, Systems Modelling, Energy and Socio-economic Systems, Ergonomics, and Financial Engineering under the supervision of their advisors. Each student is also required to complete 70 workdays of industrial training during summers.

Educational goals and objectives

1. Establish themselves as distinguished practicing industrial engineers or prospective academicians
at national and international levels,
2. Become accomplished professionals who will acquire leadership qualities and take decisionmaking
responsibilities in diverse fields,
3. Be able to adapt themselves to the changing conditions in their career paths with the help of
their lifelong learning traits,
4. Carry out their professional activities with the highest standards of ethical and social
responsibility.

Admission and special requirements

In Türkiye, student placement to universities and departments is carried out centrally through
exams administered by the ÖSYM. A two-phase standard centralized exam, called YKS is given once
a year. The first exam is called TYT and the second exam is called AYT. The Department has an
excellent academic reputation, attracting the most successful high school graduates in Turkey.
Acceptance to the freshmen class is very competitive. Admitted students are typically in the top
0.05% of those who take the National Student Selection and Placement Examination. The
Department consistently ranks number one over the years among all Industrial Engineering
programs in Turkey, according to the entrance scores of admitted students.

Acknowledgement of previous learning

Some courses taken from other institution may be transfered based on the grade and type of course
on approval.

Graduation requirements

The students are awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering when they satisfy
all graduation requirements. The coursework requirement for the Bachelor of Science Degree in
Industrial Engineering is a minimum of 140 credit hours (240 ECTS). Each student has to satisfy (i)
the coursework and (ii) internship requirement in order to graduate. The courses must be taken in
order that satisfies all prerequisities of all required courses. Elective courses must be taken from
specified pools of courses. Students are required to take two technical elective, three humanities
and social sciences elective and also one free elective courses and also complete a graduation
project as part of their curriculum.

Program learning outcomes

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles
   of engineering, science and mathematics
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with
   consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,
   environmental and economic factors
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and
   make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global,
   economic, environmental and societal contexts
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create
   a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and
   use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
