Department of Civil Engineering

Hello, I'm Melih KIRABALI. I'm a 3rd-year student at Balıkesir University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering. The civil engineering department was established to train civil engineers for the maintenance of various structures, construction processes, and urban transformation. It is located in Çağış Campus. In our department, courses such as statics, structural analysis, building materials, hydraulics, and highways are offered. We have laboratories in the civil engineering department where we can conduct our courses on structural analysis, hydraulics, and building materials. After graduating from the civil engineering department, we can work in various fields such as infrastructure, superstructure, urban transformation, and earthquake engineering. I chose the civil engineering department because it was my childhood dream. I used to play around many construction sites with my friends, and that increased my interest in civil engineering and led me to choose this department. I chose Balıkesir University because of its experienced academic staff and its proximity to major cities in the area. While studying civil engineering, I benefit the most from the experience of the academic staff, libraries during exam periods, and social activities organized by clubs. After graduating from the civil engineering department, I plan to pursue a master's degree to specialize in my field. I would recommend prospective students who will choose our department and university to focus on quantitative courses, be open to new ideas, and make use of the opportunities offered by our university throughout their educational journey. I wish good luck to those who will take the university entrance exam. We look forward to welcoming you to Balıkesir University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering.
