For ensuring the quality of higher education programs;

• YÖK (Higher Education Council) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising education, teaching, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions.

• University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports for each year, prepared within the framework of criteria determined by YÖK, are published. Reports containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations directed towards higher education institutions are shared with the public by YÖK based on these reports.

• Academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions are published annually by YÖK in the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report". These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations conducted for foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the "Principles and Procedures for Ensuring the Quality of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

Establishment and Approval of Educational Programs:

1.1. YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate department and program in higher education institutions.

1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and what each program will provide to the students in terms of learning outcomes are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles set by YÖK in these matters.

1.3. After the curriculum of National Core Education Programs is accepted by the relevant Council of Deans, it is applied by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.

Measurement and Evaluation: How the learning outcomes to be achieved by each undergraduate program will be measured and evaluated is carried out according to the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles set by YÖK in these matters.

Certification: Students registered in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor's degree if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions.

Self-Assessment-External Assessment: Higher education institutions enter the "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" prepared for each previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares with the public the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for external evaluation of higher education institutions. Additionally, accreditation decisions given by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the qualifications of programs are assured. YÖKAK carries out regular review activities regarding the qualifications specified in the legislation.

Our department is accredited by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs (MÜDEK) and undergoes evaluations at determined intervals.

Students wishing to enroll in the department must complete the processes determined by ÖSYM within the framework of the university's academic and legal regulations and pass the exams. Students who have started their education in an equivalent program domestically or abroad may apply for horizontal transfer. The acceptance of students is evaluated on an individual basis, considering the qualifications of each student and the degree they have applied for, before the start of each term. More detailed information about university admission is available in the Institutional Introduction Catalog. Foreign students coming within the scope of university-approved and boundary-defined student exchange programs may take courses offered in English in the department. If a student has proficiency in the Turkish language, they may register for any Turkish course specified in the Course Plan
