Mechanical Engineering

Hello, I'm Professor Kenan Cinar. I am working as a faculty member in the department of Mechanical Engineering. Our department was established in 1993 and received its first students in 2003. Later, in 1996 and 2006, master's and doctoral programs were launched, respectively. Education and training activities still continue. In addition, we also carry out evening education activities in our department. Basic courses are taught in the first year. Vocational courses are taught in the second and third, and elective courses in addition to these vocational courses are offered in the fourth year. In first year, we teach Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics. In addition to these, Technical Drawing and Static courses are also taught. We teach courses such as Strength, Machine Elements, Manufacturing Methods, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics as vocational courses in 2nd and 3rd grade. We also offer elective courses in the last year. After taking these courses, our students graduate by completing a graduation project. There are laboratories in our department where our students can practice their theoretical courses. These laboratories are Materials Laboratory, Heat Transfer Laboratory, Hydraulics and Pneumatic Laboratory. In addition to these laboratories, we have a well-equipped workshop. In these laboratories and our workshop, our students reinforce their theoretical knowledge by practicing in person. There are 3 internships in our department's internship program. These are General Workshop Internship, Business Organization Internship and Engineering Applications Internship. In these internships, students are required to do a total of 60 days of internship. In addition to these, our students are required to submit a graduation project in order to graduate. In these graduation projects, our faculty members guide them in the fields that our students are interested in. In addition to these projects, I would like to talk about the training program. In this program, our senior students can go to a company in the spring semester and work there 3 days a week. In this way, they can reinforce their theoretical knowledge by practicing. Our students, who go to these companies, gain an advantage in finding a job, and they may stay there afterwards. In addition to these, our university has an Erasmus Exchange Program. Thanks to this program, our students can study at universities abroad and get to know the culture of that place. Areas such as defense aviation industry, ship machinery, textile machinery, agricultural machinery, and, heating, ventilation and air conditioning departments of constructions are the main business areas of our graduates. Our graduates working in these fields can also take part in different positions. Positions such as design, research and development, simulation can be given as examples. In this respect, it has a wide range of business areas and job positions. I would like to state that our students will continue their education programs in the friendly atmosphere of our faculty. In addition to these, the energies of our young, dynamic, highly motivated faculty members, both in our department and in other departments, are reflected in our students. In addition, the status of our faculty to the industry is a great advantage for our students. Thanks to this advantage; Our students can apply the theoretical knowledge they have learned and find a job more easily after the graduation. Thank you for listening to me. I wish success to all of our fellow students who will take the exam.
