The faculties and departments started operating in 1994 with the opening of graduate programs.

The decision to accept the first undergraduate students to the faculties, to teach English in the preparatory class and to provide education in English was made at the Higher Education Council Executive Board Meeting dated 31.03.1998.

Our department accepted its first undergraduate students in 1998 and graduated its first students in 2002.

International norms are taken as basis in education and research. With student-centered, project-based education methods, it is aimed for our students to be trained as contemporary individuals who are inquisitive, creative, entrepreneurial, successful in teamwork and who will produce their own technology. Graduates are respected both domestically and internationally, and our undergraduate graduates are accepted to the best universities abroad with scholarships for graduate education. In addition, they are provided with the latest technology laboratory work to improve themselves in their fields, starting from their early years.
