• An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• 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
• 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
• An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The holder has the key qualifications below at maximum capacity.

1. Literacy qualification
2. Multiple language qualification
3. Qualification in mathematics, science, technology and engineering
4. Digital qualification
5. Personal, social and learning competence

The assessment and evaluation methods used for courses are defined by the course instructor in the MEF University Course Information Forms at the beginning of each semester and announced through the Learning Management System.

Regarding course success grades, Article 31 of the MEF University Undergraduate and Associate Degree Education Regulation, which came into force after being published in the Official Gazette dated 21.10.014 and numbered 29152, applies.

ARTICLE 31 – (1) Students are assigned a letter grade for each course they take by the instructor teaching the course. Letter grades given in credit courses have numerical coefficient equivalents between 0.0 and 4.0 to be used in grade point average calculations. Letter grades, coefficients, if any, and the situations in which they are used are as follows:

a)Letter Grade Coeffcient

A         4,00    

A-        3,70    

B+       3,30    

B         3,00    

B-        2,70    

C+       2,30    

C         2,00    

C-        1,70    

D+       1,30    

D         1,00    

F          0,00    

FX       0,00    

FZ       0,00    

Letter Grade Meaning

W        Withdrawal

I           Incomplete

S          Satisfied

U         Unsatisfied

P          Progressing

EX       Exempt

b) FZ: Students who are not eligible to take the final exam are given an FZ grade within the dates specified in the academic calendar before the final exams.

c) FX: It is given to students who have the right to take the final exam but do not come to the final exam without a valid excuse and to students who applies for a make-up exam but do not attend.

d) W: It is given in cases where the student withdraws from the course. Although the course taken is included in the transcript, the W grade is not included in the average calculations. For students who retake a course they had taken in a previous semester and then withdraw from that course, their previous grades are considered valid when calculating their GPA.

e) I: In a course that does not have a final exam, a grade of I may be given to students who have not been able to complete the work required for a letter grade until the dead line due to compulsory reasons, in order to allow a certain time to make up for their deficiencies. A student in this situation must complete the missing items within 14 days from the date of announcement of the letter grades or until the course registrations for the next semester begin, whichever is the nearest date. With the application of the instructor teaching the course and the approval of the department head, additional time may be given until the course registrations for the next semester begin. A letter grade is awarded by the relevant instructor to the student who completes the missing parts within the given time. When the allotted time expires, students who have not been given a letter grade other than I will be given an FX grade.

f) S: It is given to students who are successful in the specified courses. This grade is not included in average calculations.

g) U: It is given to students who fail in specified courses. This grade is not included in average calculations.

h) P: In credit or non-credit courses lasting more than one semester, it is given at the end of the semesters before the last semester. This grade is not included in average calculations.

i) EX: While a course in which the student has previously been successful is recorded on the student's transcript, the graduation requirement in the program indicates exemption from the course. This grade is not included in average calculations.

In order to supervise the quality of higher education programmes;

•   YÖK is responsible of planning, organising, managing and supervising higher education institution's educational and other activities. •YÖK prepares "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" within its own criteria and publishes these reports annually. YÖK prepares reports that include qualitative and quantitative evaluations of higher education institutions in accordance with these annual reports and shares them with general public.

•   The "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report", which includes academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions, is published by YÖK annually. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations made for foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to "Procedures and Principles for Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programmes":

1. Establishment and Approval of Curricula 

YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required to open undergraduate programmes in higher education institutions.

1.1. In higher education institutions, the curriculum of undergraduate programmes and the learning outcomes each program will bring to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues. 

1.2. After the curriculum of National Core Education Programmes is accepted by the relevant Deans Council, it is implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of YÖK.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: How to measure and evaluate the learning outcomes that each undergraduate programme will bring to the student is carried out in accordance with the teaching and examination regulations

prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programmes who successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receive an undergraduate diploma.

4. Self Evaluation-External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter the "Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions. In addition, the accreditation decisions made by the accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also show that the quality of programmes' qualifications is assured. YÖKAK carries out regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with its legislation.

The Mechanical Engineering B.Sc. Program is accredited (2018-2028) by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) to ensure quality and meet industry standards.

MEF University accepts Turkish national students who have graduated from high school and equivalent schools through the central entrance exam held by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM).

Admission of students from abroad is done by the decision of the board of directors of the relevant faculty/school within the framework of the relevant legislative provisions, decisions of the Council of Higher Education and the principles determined by the Senate.
