Civil Engineering

Hi, I'm Emine Gamze Abanozoğlu. I am a research assistant at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Çorlu Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Branch of Geotechnical Science. Our department started to accept undergraduate students in the 1993-1994 academic year and graduate students in the 2000-2001 academic year. Currently, 379 undergraduate and 39 graduate students are receiving education. Our department is located in the Çorlu campus of our University. Our students can optionally receive 1 year of foreign language preparatory education in our Tekirdağ Central Campus. In the first year, basic courses such as Mathematic, Physics, Chemistry, as well as courses focused on their subject, such as Civil Engineering Orientation, Civil Geology, Static, Construction Design are also started to be given. After that, subject related courses increase each semester. Students who have completed all their compulsory courses and 5 elective courses, including the final year graduation studies, can graduate. Instead of taking the elective courses, students who can work in contracted companies within the scope of the "Education in the Sector Model" which is implemented in our faculty. Our department has geotechnical and building material laboratories. In these laboratories, we are able to conduct experiments related to our branch. In order for our students to graduate, they must complete a 60 workday internship. These could be construction site internships that lasts for 60 days, as well as up to 20 working days as office internships. Within the scope of civil engineering project and graduation work courses in the last year, each student presents his/her work in front of the commission by working on a specific subject. Our students can benefit from the Erasmus program. They have the opportunity to study at universities in about 10 countries, mostly Balkan countries. Within the scope of the Mevlana Exchange Program, they can study for 1 or 2 semesters at Pristina University in Kosovo. The faculty members of our department take part in national and international congresses and organizations related to their main branches of science. Our graduates can find work in above ground projects such as buildings and bridges, underground projects such as tunnels and deep excavations, water structures such as dams and ports, in the field of building materials, in transportation projects such as road and railway. They can also find work in the public and private sectors and municipalities. In addition, they can work independently. A fundamental knowledge of physics and mathematics is crucial for our department. Students will have no problems if they attend the classes starting from the first year, and complete their projects and internships in time. There are both private dormitories and credit dormitories in Çorlu. We are waiting for the students who will choose Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Çorlu Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering. All the best.
