The department offers a four-year, undergraduate programme leading to the Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Computer Engineering. The undergraduate programme is designed to provide students with the fundamental knowledge and interdisciplinary educational foundation for a fulfilling career in high quality engineering work. The Department’s programme is designed so that its graduates may continue with specialised work and undertake creative research toward a master’s degree. All the necessary computing facilities are available to develop skills in the use of computers and in the application of computerized techniques. These facilities include well equipped computer laboratories with high-speed personal computers and a logic design laboratory for experimentation in the fields of digital systems design. Research interests of the faculty include: speech processing, neural networks, digital signal processing, security, artificial intelligence, parallel architectures and database systems. The core courses aim to establish a firm general knowledge in all fields of Computer Engineering. The courses are distributed in eight semesters graduation project and summer training. Students enrolled in the BSc programme, are required to complete forty basic courses with 132 credits. Students also are required to obtain a pass in Turkish language and National History in order to fulfill the requirements of this balanced programme. In the first 2 years, common courses for engineers that include mathematical and computer sciences, and engineering sciences. During the remaining two years, in addition to core courses of computer engineering such as operating systems, file organisation, database system and programming languages, the curriculum includes both technical electives and free electives. All of the core courses have laboratory sessions.
