Department of Mechanical Engineering

Hello, I'm Cagil Merve Tanık. I have been working as a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Ostim Technical University for about 1 year. I have also been working in the academic field for more than 10 years. Mechanical engineering has played a key role in industrialization, advancement of technology and modernization. In line with the requirements of the times we are living in, this role is increasing day by day. During the education period, many courses on mechanical engineering are taught. In the first year, in addition to basic courses such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, Computer Aided Technical Drawing Program and Computer Programs courses are taught. In addition, field courses such as Static, Thermodynamics, Dynamics and Strength are taught in the second year. In the 3rd year, there are courses on more specific topics such as Machine Elements, Mechanism, Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics. In the 4th year, specialization in the desired field is provided with elective courses. Thanks to the applied education model that our university attaches great importance to, our students spend 1 day a week at their workplace for 6 semesters. In addition, students spend their last years at their workplaces and graduate as well-equipped engineers. Ostim Technical University has physics and chemistry laboratories within the scope of common courses. We also have computer labs to be used for Computer Aided Technical Drawing Courses. We have a virtual reality laboratory so that our students can apply their jhjhjknowledge in a practical way. Apart from these, there are manufacturing, automation, additive manufacturing laboratories and lean manufacturing laboratories that can be used within the scope of the courses and extracurricular activities. If you are interested in machine design and automotive, traditional and renewable energy sources, robotics and autonomous systems, you can choose our department. Within the scope of the internship and entrepreneurship project course, our 1st and 2nd grade students have done many projects. Some of these are the security systems to be used for cyber attacks, an automation system to irrigate and spray agricultural areas with a drone, an unmanned land vehicle for educational purposes and a mask produced with a 3D printer. In addition, in order for our students to graduate, they must complete a graduation project that they will carry out together with the workplaces they go to. Students of our department can study in Europe thanks to the Erasmus program. In our department, a workshop was held in partnership with IBM this year. This workshop is about supply chain and artificial intelligence in smart manufacturing. Mechanical engineers have a wide range of employment. Today, as the 4th industrial revolution continues, mechanical engineers are needed in many areas of the industry. Mechanical engineers take part in many areas from defense systems to autonomous vehicles, from energy systems to production facilities, from aerospace systems to biomechanical devices. The fact that Ostim Technical University is located in the industrial zone will provide a great advantage to students studying in a department with a strong practical field such as mechanical engineering. They will be able to produce the devices or machines they want to produce during their graduation projects in places around the university. In addition, the fact that our campus is very close to the metro and Ankara is a student city with high social and cultural opportunities are among the advantages for our students. Considering all these, we can recommend Ostim Technical University and Ankara to university candidates. We wish success to candidates who are considering to choose our department and university.
