Why To Study Mechanical Engineering ?

Mechanical engineering is a branch of engineering specialization. The study of mechanical engineering at Turkish universities is distinguished by the high-quality courses, professional faculty, and applied laboratories. This specialization is concerned with graduating students with practical and scientific capabilities in the field.

One of the most important axes of mechanical engineering study is understanding the relationship between forces and motion, such as dynamics, vibrations, and automatic control. Comprehending the basic concepts of heat such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, air conditioning and refrigeration, energy, fluids, properties of materials, and manufacturing and production processes are other axes to be covered during the study of mechanical engineering.

• Turkish universities prepare mechanical engineering graduates to be highly qualified engineers capable of handling and analyzing complex systems and innovating through research and product design to meet the local and regional market. Moreover, they work to improve the capability of graduates to plan, operate, maintain, and manage production lines by mass-producing at a low cost while maintaining the supply of companies.

Advantages of Studying Mechanical Engineering in Turkey

• Students learn to design mechanical components, machines, systems, and processes using principles of motion and energy

• Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering includes several areas of specialization such as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, chemical, and power generation

• The graduates can obtain many highly-paid jobs in mechanical engineering industries, or they can pursue higher studies.

Duration of Mechanical Engineering Study in Turkey

The duration of studying mechanical engineering is four years.

Mechanical engineering syllabi are available in English and Turkish mediums of instruction.

• The admitted students should appear for the language level determination test based on the language of the study.

• If the student does not achieve the required level for the study, an additional period (one semester or one academic year) will be given to study the language and clear the test.
