The Message of the Chair of Board of Trustees
After spending over forty years in the field of education with Arı Primary School and Arı High School,
an investment in higher education and research became inevitable. This endeavour was realized
through the collaboration and genuine contribution of all the teaching and administrative staff as
well as the thousands of young people who have attended these schools. In fact, this was the source
of the motivation that led to the establishment of Çankaya University, the last link in our educational
project. The official establishment of Çankaya University was finalised in 1997. We live in an age
where each nation is trying to be a centre of excellence. Education, reliable and efficient education,
is undoubtedly the basis for excellence in a world dominated by progress and competition. Having
such a perspective, our goal is to train the students of Çankaya University in the best way possible
through well-developed curricula in various fields. This academic institution will also provide its
graduates with a solidly founded future, where employment opportunities will be open at large. As
the founders of the University, it is our sincere hope and desire to interact with all academic and
administrative members as well as with the students as members of the same family of Çankaya
University.

The Message of the Rector
Çankaya University has four main objectives: to give
high quality education, to do scientific research on
an international scale, to encourage an innovative
mindset that transform pure research outcomes
to practical utility, and to enhance institutional
internationalization. The realization of these
objectives is of course dependent on several
factors: experienced academic staff, rational
administration and academic organization, and
sufficient funding and infrastructure. The principal
agent of success, however, is a person focused
on success. This is why student motivation is of
utmost importance, and our primary aim.
In line with these objectives, Çankaya
University has an appropriate strategy: the
selection of academicians; the scientific and
educational needs of the area of employment;
the psychological and practical requirements
of the working environment; collaborating
with international universities, and exchanging
students and faculty with these universities.
By means of this strategy, both the quality of
education and that of academic publications is
increasing. Çankaya University was first in 2014
in the field of Mathematics, and first in 2015 in
the fields Business Administration, Marketing,
Banking and Finance, and International Trade.
In these two fields, the University is in the top
500 in the world.
Having underlined these principles and facts, I
invite those who would like to have high quality
education in a friendly environment to join
Çankaya University family.
Best regards,
Prof. Dr. Hamdi Mollamahmutoğlu
Rector

The Department of English Language and Literature was one of the first departments established at Çankaya
University. In addition to its undergraduate program, it offers graduate programs leading to the M.A. and Ph.D.
degrees.
The undergraduate curriculum in English Language and Literature was designed in accordance with
contemporary developments in literary studies, particularly in the Western World. The departmental courses
are generally student-centered and emphasize research and writing skills: they include analysis and discussion
of literary genres and types; the origins and characteristics of classical and contemporary mythologies; literary
periods and movements; English social, economic, political and cultural history; American history and culture;
world literature; and issues in the theory and practice of criticism. Through critical and analytical engagement
with authors, styles and movements, the program provides a solid foundation in English and broader Western
and world literatures and cultures, while also developing students’ fluency and skills in spoken and written
communication and analytical thinking.
In addition to departmental courses, students take a range of elective courses offered by other departments of the
university, in such areas as foreign languages, translation, psychology, and political science; they may also take
a double major, or minor in another subject, in coordination with other departments. The educational experience
in the department is enriched by seminars and conferences featuring Turkish and international specialists in
literary studies and related fields; and students have further opportunities to broaden their perspectives by
participating in the Erasmus Exchange Program and spending a semester at a university in Europe.
Employment Opportunities
Graduates of the Department of English Language and Literature have a wide range of employment and career
opportunities available to them; their knowledge and skills make them well qualified to teach at schools and
universities, to work as translators in the public and private sectors, to pursue careers in tourism, public
relations and communications media, and also to continue their academic studies in related areas at the M.A.
and Ph.D. levels.

Mathematics
Department of Mathematics, having received its new official name in March 2016,
is the continuation of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
which was founded in 1998 as one of the very first programs of Çankaya University.
At the time, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science was one of the
first of its kind in the country, but, although for many years the department had
very succesful graduates, having found job opportunities in various fields, due to
the rapidly decreasing interest in Basic Sciences throughout the country, in 2013,
the University upper administration decided to discontinue admitting students to
the program. Despite this drastic measure, according to the results of independent
scales, Çankaya University-Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
managed to secure the top place among similar programs in Turkey. Therefore, due
to the very high academic standards of the department, the Board of Trustees of
Çankaya University decided to support the re-organization request of the program,
and following the Council of Higher Education’s approval, the “NEW” Department
of Mathematics is being established, with the right to admit students again in 2016.
Modern technological society has various fields that require specialists in
mathematics and computer science. As a result, in the coming years, the
number of employment opportunities will increase for those who know how
to use mathematics for the real life problems. Employment forecasts predict
promising careers for those who are capable and well-prepared in mathematics.
Main mission of the department is to educate people through modern education
on mathematics with some fundamental training on computer science and other
related areas, and hence produce workforce with modern knowledge required
in science and industry. With this aim, in the bachelor’s program, there are 48
courses, 11 of them being elective. Through the scope of these courses, students
have the opportunity to learn the methods in mathematics, applied and pure
combined, so that they can have the ability to analyze and solve complicated
26
problems with mathematical modelling approaches. In
addition to social and free ones, the list of elective courses
are designed to provide the students the opportunity to work
on areas of their interest in mathematics. Moreover, they can
take advanced mathematics courses, as well as concentrate
on computer science and engineering fields by selecting
related elective courses.
Our students have the opportunity to complete double
major and minor degree programs in various Engineering

Science and

Relations
The Department of Political Science and International Relations offers
both undergraduate and graduate programs, leading to Bachelor of
Science (B.S.) and Master of Science (M.S.) degrees in Political Science
and International Relations. The Department’s main objective is not only

events and processess. It also studies how political concepts and ideas
evolved in time and space. As the present we live in today is shaped by
our past, an approach encompassing historical developments provides a
broad understanding of these issues. The Department, therefore, makes a
conscious effort in providing an historical background in courses such as
political theory, comparative politics, and Turkish politics. Local, regional,
and global historical contexts are interwoven with current developments in
most of the courses the Department offers.
International Relations, a relatively new discipline within the social sciences,
has an equal footing in the Department. The discipline of International
Relations deals with complex relationships among states, international
organizations, as well as governmental and nongovernmental organizations.
International economic relations and international law, is an indispensable
part of the curriculum. The courses offered in the field of international
relations include, therefore, subjects such as Turkish and European
diplomatic history, theories of international relations, and international law
as well as the European Union, and Eurasian and Middle Eastern politics.

Both Political Science, and International Relations
disciplines help us in understanding the political, social
and economic processes and their transformation at the
national and international levels. Since the end of the
Cold War, an increasing pace of globalisation has made
the study of international relations even more important
and attractive. The boundary between domestic, and
foreign politics has further been blurred, and become
meaningless. The Department, with its finely balanced
curriculum between political science and international
relations, enables students to make sense in an
evermore changing and complex world. The Department
also encourages students to learn a second and, even, a
third foreign language in addition to English during their
undergraduate education in order to be well-prepared for
the national and international competitive environment.
The faculty in the Department aim to provide our
students with theoretical and analytical skills to
criticize and evaluate a variety of social issues. Through
institutional arrangements made with various exchange
programs, the Department also encourages students to
broaden their international outlook by taking advantage
of the various opportunities to study for a semester or
a year abroad in European universities. The Department
also welcomes foreign exchange students who want
to expand their understanding of Turkish political life.

Interior
Architecture
Interior architecture is a profession which is interested in design
of objective beings used in order to equip all the places of the daily
life activities. In addition to this, the profession should satisfy the
abstract and concrete needs of users with changing and increasing
need of place, parallel to the of technology. Furthermore,
profession of interior architecture involves not only solving the
technical, social and economic problems of the building but also
designating new and different utilizations to the previous usage of
the building. With the increasing level of welfare, there is a need of
more qualified and equipped interior architects in order to design
quality places.
The prime purpose of our education is to provide students with
a creative identity and technical knowledge of building science
while emphasizing that the profession is between art and science.
The aim of Interior Architecture Department is to educating
students who are creatively and technically competent in and
sensitive to human and environment.
The aim of the program is to ensure transferring theoretical
knowledge on various subjects to the classrooms. The necessary
competence in and skills required in application is transferred by
50
“workshops” which constitute the most vital part of the program. Due to summer practices required in the
curriculum, the education at Çankaya University is different from education at other universities. Therefore,
compared to their colleagues, our graduates are more knowledgeable about construction techniques. To
teach students the relationships of user-function-space concepts, various local and upstate field trips are
organized according to topics of workshop studies. Another aspect of this program is to enable students
have successful collaboration with related disciplines such as architecture, landscape architecture and
engineering.
There are lots of options for the graduates of interior architecture. For the ones who are eager to pursue
their career in academic field, master’s and doctoral programs provide specializations on preferred
areas. Moreover, for graduates who want to start their career in the field, there is a chance to have
specializations on some specific building types. For instance, there are interior architects who conduct
only public or commercial projects. Most of the famous furniture designers and producers are from
the discipline of interior architecture. Acoustics, natural and artificial lighting design, interior design of
yacht, stage design and TV-set design are some areas of specialization for interior architects.
In the areas such as photography, painting, sculpture, there are well - known and prominent people
who graduated from interior architecture. Due to the nature of intertwined working style in interior
architecture, the education involves the fundamental formation of other disciplines. Therefore, there is a
rich range of options for graduates of interior architecture department.

year with technological and scientific developments, in
order to educate students to become architects, who master
environmental topics, are conscious of the importance of a
sustainable future, hold ethical values and are able to find
original solutions to their problems.
The first year of education in the department is projected as
a medium of discussion of the common basic approaches of
design and art, through which the students meet the world of
arts and design, science and technology, and set foot in the
track of getting to know themselves. This term is the period
of education for self-realization. Students complete more
than one design project in this term in more than one media.
Our educational program is built upon a medium that aims at
the intersection of sense and reason, for educating students
to become architects who are capable of thinking critically
and applying their thoughts. The excellence of education
rests on its multiple dimensionality, and in line with this, our
professional education is supported by seminars, student
exchange programs, trips and competitions, with a special
emphasis on the capability of foreign language, importance
of research, and cooperation between professors and
students. In this way, our graduates who complete the
undergraduate program of architecture would become
distinguished professionals both in the national and in the
international competitive arena.
The education in the department involves design projects,
which are enriched in many different scientific and artistic
aspects, with the help of an educational medium where
experienced professionals from many different disciplines,
ranging from civil engineering to art and sculpture, cinema
to journalism, anthropology to philosophy, transfer their
knowledge and experiences to students, together with the
full-time faculty of the department.
The core educational program of the Department of
Architecture is design studios. Studios are nurtured by
theoretical courses (city ± art: history of architecture,
design theories) along with courses about technology and
structure. The second, third and fourth years of education
are aimed at nurturing the sensibilities gained in the first

City and Regional
Planning
City and Regional Planning profession fundamentally aims to
influence and supervise public and private sector urban development,
investment and design decisions which affect the society, places,
environment and economy. It has a significant role in the development
of civilized, contemporary and egalitarian living environments. Land
use decisions, conservation of cultural heritage and environment,
housing, transportation and urban function are among the numerous
issues addressed by City and Regional Planning profession. Scale of
study varies from country and region level to local level with respect to
the nature of problems.
Within this context, in order to ensure planned development
under changing circumstances, planners evaluate spatial, social,
demographic, economic and technical data together with aesthetic,
cultural (historical-archeological), natural/ecological factors so as to
determine aims and objectives for the future, define tools and processes
of implementation, recommend alternative proposals to decision
makers and undertake role and responsibility in the implementation of
those proposals. Planners are ingenious and responsive professionals.
Knowledge and experience related to various fields, ability to synthesize
several different disciplines particularly social sciences, quantitative
techniques, architecture, and engineering, protection of public
interest, bringing different actors together and undertaking the role of
mediating or facilitating are necessary for planners.
There are a number of factors that highlight the significance of City and
Regional Planning profession in the current circumstances of Turkey,
these are; ongoing urbanization together with its problems related to
54
site selection, transportation and environment; continuing urban transformation efforts in the whole country;
recent changes in legislations related to planning, development, urban transformation, etc.; current issues in the
agenda such as designing disaster resilient urban environments and risk management, demand for designing
technological and aesthetic urban environments considering the recent developments in the construction sector,
and new trends which are aimed at creating balanced, livable, and sustainable living environments that are
responsive to the different life styles and needs. Furthermore, establishment of Ministry of Environment and
Urbanization and regional development agencies and declaration of additional metropolitan municipalities
enhance the need for planners.
Çankaya University is the first and only foundation university with a City and Regional Planning Department.
Undergraduate program of the Department, which offers four years of education, is established in line with
the Bologna Process under the European Union cohesion policies. In addition to the compulsory and elective
courses offered in the program, summer practices take place in the second and third years of the education.
The field of City and Regional Planning brings different specializations together; it allows multidimensional
and interdisciplinary studies and collaborations. Due to the multifaceted education offered, City and Regional
Planning graduates are able to find jobs not only in their own field but also in several fields which require
abilities related to problem definition, analytical thinking, solution recommendations development, system
establishing, coordination and organization. Furthermore, jobs related to urban research, urban consultancy,
urban management, and project management fields which require determination of spatial, social and economic
urban problems are also available for the City and Regional Planners.
Major employment opportunities for City and Regional Planning graduates are: public bodies such as Ministry
of Environment and Urbanization, Prime Ministry Housing Development Administration (TOKİ), Ministry of
Development, Ministry of European Union, Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Bank of Provinces, Ministry of Energy,
regional development agencies, and municipalities; international institutions such as UNESCO, World Bank and
UNDP; planning offices, remote sensing and geographic information system firms, and real estate appraisal firms.

Language: ENGLISH
Engineering Faculty of Çankaya University applies
comprehensive educational programs to equip its students
with these knowledge and skills. For the success of the
educational programs, our Faculty has the distinguished
academic personnel that are expert in their fields with
proven scientific backgrounds, cognizant of the areas and
applications, and experienced in teaching; and we have
the laboratories and classrooms with the infrastructure
required.
Çankaya University was founded in 1997. Our Faculty
began its academic life in the same year with Computer
Engineering, and Industrial Engineering Departments.
Following these two departments, Electronic and
Communication
Engineering
Department
started
education in 2001. When the new campus facilities were
constructed in 2011, we opened four new departments: Civil
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Material Science
and Engineering, and Mechatronics Engineering. Finally,
in 2014 we opened Electrical-Electronics Engineering.
Today we have 8 engineering departments.
In the Engineering Faculty, as of 19.10.2015 we have
1293 students in the undergraduate programs. Among
81 full time academic personnel we have 12 professors,
6 associate professors and 31 assistant professors.
The number of undergraduate students per academic
personnel is 27, which is below the average of that for the
Turkish Universities (35).
Our departments are at the same time undertaking
graduate programs too. We offer 7 master and 1 PhD
programs.
Engineering Faculty has 17 laboratories for research and
34 educational laboratories for undergraduate programs
as of today. Successful undergraduate students can also
participate the research in the research laboratories, and
some of them fulfill summer training.
Educational language in our faculty is English, except
for the courses of Turkish, History and Ethics and Social
Responsibility. Summer Training is compulsory for two
semesters in all the departments. The design experience
is a must and is thoroughly lived in all the departments by
all the students. The knowledge and skills required for the
design experience is given through the programs mainly
by the Graduation Project in the senior year. Every student
should live this experience by making designs under
realistic conditions using the knowledge and skills gained
in the previous courses and engineering standards. In the
Graduation Projects we desire the academic personnel to
choose the problems from industry to the extent possible.
In the Engineering Faculty we promote the double major
and minor programs such that a successful student
can also graduate from another department and get an
additional diploma if successful or gain an expertise to a
certain level in another program.
Controlling outputs in a program by establishing a Quality
Assurance system in our faculty is essential. We are
accrediting our programs towards this direction. The
three programs that had been established earlier enough
to have the graduates already have applied to MUDEK, an
agency certified by the Committee of the Higher Education
of Turkey (YÖK in Turkish), and successfully got the MUDEK
accreditations which includes the Eur-Ace certificate as
well. The other 5 programs are also preparing themselves
by adopting the processes developed by the 3 programs
already, and as soon as they have enough graduates they
will also apply for the accreditation.

Industrial Engineering Department at
Çankaya University was established in
1997 as one of the first two engineering
departments in the Faculty of Engineering.
Among the non-profit private universities
in Turkey, it is the second Industrial
Engineering
Department
having
undergraduate program graduates. The
undergraduate program of Industrial
Engineering at Çankaya University has
been developed in consideration with the
aforementioned features. The program
follows the Bologna credit system and is
accredited by MÜDEK, which is the Turkish
equivalent of ABET or ENIA. The majority
of the courses cover mathematical tools
extensively for the purpose of generating
solutions based on the analysis of the
interactions among the subsystems of a
system and on the interactions with its
environment. Especially during the first
three years, courses such as statistics,
mathematical modelling, and production
planning are given in addition to basic
engineering courses. In these courses
students are equipped with the ability of
data gathering and analysis, interpretation,
synthesis, problem definition, and most
importantly -considering the uncertainty
and the variability of the environment-
generating alternative solutions/scenarios,
and deciding on the optimal one among
them. In their last year, our students
work in teams for the graduation project
course, under the guidance of their
project advisors. They try to find a solution
to the problem of a company mostly a
small to medium-sized enterprise with a
computer based decision support system
and gain the practical experience of
their last three years of education. The
opportunity of expertise is given to our
students in their areas of interest by the
departmental elective courses offered by
selected practitioners from the business
life who are experts in their own areas. As
a result of these studies, it is aimed that
our students to have professional ethics
and legal awareness besides having the
skills like improved analytical thinking
capability, looking at events and problems
from different perspectives, and taking
initiative. Our students can select the most
appropriate one among the sectors; they
become familiar during their four years of
education, through their summer trainings
with a minimum of four weeks period at
the end of second and third years, and
the graduation project course in the last
year. Undergraduate students who satisfy
certain requirements may also apply a
second department for a double major
degree or a minor program certificate.
Those students who graduate from their
own program and a major degree program
receive undergraduate diplomas from both
departments, whereas those students who
successfully complete a minor program
receive a certificate from their minor
program along with an undergraduate
diploma from their own department.

What is Civil Engineering?
Civil Engineering
68
Civil engineering is the profession that
deals with the design, construction,
maintenance and the quality control of all
built facilities that are required to ensure
the well-being of societies. Civil engineers
consider factors such as safety, economy,
and aesthetics and safety in all of their
activities. The built environment may be
offices, schools, hospitals, residences,
factories, transportation facilities, etc.
The practice of this profession requires
mastery in the fields of mathematics
and mechanics. Civil engineers examine,
consider experience, and make use of
theoretical and computational methods
that allow a more efficient utilization of
natural resources. This discipline has the
distinction of being the first universitylevel engineering branch founded in
Turkey (1883). Changes in conditions at
the beginning of the 21st century have led
to the rise of new issues in front of civil
engineering. Globalization, environmental
issues, the reliability of ensuring energy
availability, and challenges for the
sustainability of economic development,
complexity of new technology all require
careful re-examination of tools of the
trade. The formulation and solution of
the aforementioned new problems have
driven a demand for engineers with a
good fundamental knowledge who have
the flexibility to apply this knowledge
on various areas. Engineers who fit this
profile are those with strong analytical
thinking skills and one that can apply
modern calculation techniques to
complex engineering problems. The
civil engineering profession serves
communities. Well designed and safely
constructed buildings and structures
such as transportation systems, water
and energy structures are the main focus
of the profession. Their designs should be
able to endure natural disasters such as
floods, storms and earthquakes.
The curriculum of the civil engineering
department at Çankaya University
was created in a way to achieve the
aforementioned goals. All laboratory
facilities required for undergraduate
education are present and are fully
functional. The undergraduate program
was established at the beginning of the
2011-2012 academic year and is a 4-year
program. Students who do not have English
language proficiency at the level set by
the university, are required to go through the one-year English
language preparatory class and pass the English language
proficiency test before they can begin their undergraduate
studies. During eight semesters, students are required to be
successful (based on university’s criteria) in the mandatory and
elective classes and complete two summer training sessions.
Furthermore the education activities are supported by laboratory
work and technical field trips to supplement practice. It is our
goal to produce graduates who are able to design safe and
economical structures; who have an analytical and creative
thinking ability, with effective communication skills; who are
able to work in interdisciplinary groups; who are informed about
project management. The language of education is English.
This not only provides an opportunity for students to have good
command in technical English, but also provides a required set of
skills for those students who choose to seek a graduate degree
abroad. The department’s current undergraduate acceptance
quota is 65; 8 of which are provided with full scholarship and 45
with 50% scholarship.
Our department’s first students were accepted at the beginning
of the 2011-2012 academic year; most of those students attended
the English language preparatory school. Hence, a majority of
our first students will be graduating at the end of the 2015-2016
academic year. The success of our first graduating class in the
public and private sectors will pave the way for the following
generations.
Area of Practice of Civil Engineers

construction sector makes up approximately 6% of the GDP.
The increasing demand for engineers in a developing country
such as Turkey means continued employment opportunities
for qualified engineers in our country and abroad. There are
diverse employment opportunities for graduates within the area
of practice of civil engineering. Whether it is at a construction
site or office, we expect that our graduates will easily find jobs in
our country or abroad. The opportunities can be anywhere from
working in engineering consulting companies to construction
auditing firms. Graduates may also choose to establish their
own firms provided that they fulfill certain requirements. Civil
engineering graduates may also find jobs within the public sector.
This sector includes large establishments such as the Ministry
of Environment and Urban Planning, General Directorate of
State Hydraulic Works, General Directorate of Highways and the
Bank of Provinces, which invests first and foremost on urban
renewal projects and other large-scale projects. In addition,
the sector includes the housing development administration of
Turkey, municipalities and their subsidiaries, which also provide
employment opportunities for civil engineers. In the recent
years, there has been a growing demand for civil engineers in the
finance and insurance sectors. Another area is research, which
includes academia and research institutes such as TUBITAK.
As the country develops economically, there will be a continuing
demand for civil engineers. It is our department’s policy to have
strong ties with our graduates, particularly ones who choose to
establish their own companies.

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest of fundamental engineering
disciplines and encompasses a wide variety of engineering fields and many
specialties. Mechanical engineering deals with design, development, manufacturing
and implementation of mechanical systems, energy conversion systems, and the
equipments to be used in production and testing, that meet the user requirements
within the defined constraints. Mechanical engineers may work in a broad range of
areas like the design, manufacturing and automation of automotive, aerospace and
robotic systems, all kinds of machines, power generation systems, air conditioning
and heating/cooling systems, and alternative energy sources including wind and
solar energies. Mechanical engineers work in cooperation with professionals of
other disciplines in the design and development of engineering systems in order to
raise the life standards of human beings.
Mechanical Engineering Education
Mechanical engineers are expected to be proficient in both fundamental sciences
and engineering sciences. They should also be skilled in contemporary fields,
such as information technologies. Our education program aims at teaching our
students the ability to solve up-to-date complex engineering problems and the
methodologies and tools that they will use throughout their professional lives.
During their education, our students take part in projects in which they experience
problem analysis and solution procedures, especially in the fourth year. Our aim is
to have our graduates possess pioneering and leadership characteristics, and be
able to perform theoretical and experimental analyses of engineering problems,
conduct original research and share knowledge and experience with the society
and industry. Throughout their study, our students learn how to design thermal and
mechanical systems, develop new machines and equipments, design and conduct
experiments and build manufacturing systems. The first two years of our curriculum
involve courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, thermodynamics,
technical drawing and materials and manufacturing. Sophomore classes include
machine kinematics and dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat
transfer, machine elements and automatic control courses.
The senior class deals with experimentation techniques,
system dynamics, engineering economy and graduation
design and implementation project. Our curriculum gives
special importance to laboratory activities and design projects.
Our students work in teams on real industrial problems in the
“innovative engineering analysis, design and implementation”
courses. These are supported by “experimentation and
measurement” and “mechanical engineering laboratory”
courses where the students not only conduct experiments
on ready set-ups but also design and implement new
experimental set-ups. Hence they gain knowledge on how to
make experiments and how to gather and analyze data. Most
engineering products used in daily life involve mechanical,
thermal, fluidic and electronic subsystems. For this reason
abilities to model and analyze integrated systems are also
gained in the fourth year. Additionally, our students develop
their computer skills through the use of advanced commercial
softwares in various courses. Furthermore our elective
courses allow specialization in topics like combustion, micro
fluidics, automotive engineering, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning, solar energy, manufacturing technologies, finite
element analysis, etc.

used in modern life are designed, manufactured and tested
partly or wholly by mechanical engineers. Developments
in engineering profession indicate that there will always
be a high demand for mechanical engineers. Mechanical
engineering is a challenging and rewarding profession.
Our graduates, with an excellent R&D capability, technology
development skills, industrial experience, innovation
capability, personal creativity, breadth of knowledge and
versatility will also have the opportunity of self-employment as
well as being employed by private or public sector companies
and institutions conducting basic and applied research.

Mechatronics Engineering is emerging as a multi disciplinary program that
aspires development and analysis of every kind of mechanical and electronic
systems. Every system that interpret the data being sensed from the
environment by the help of control hardware and the software which realizes
this control hardware and react (response) to the sensed signal accordingly are
a kind of Mechatronic systems. Having these abilities, Mechatronic systems
(sensing measuring, interpreting and responding and decision making as the
result of interpretation) are used in defense industry, safety systems, banking,
agriculture, mining, industrial automation, clinical medicine and machine
industry.
Although it is a newly established department, as the advantage of its multi
disciplinary character, most of the engineering-based undergraduate courses
will be given by the departments like Electronic and Communication Engineering
Department, Computer Engineering Department and Industrial Engineering
Department that have been serving for many years in the organization of
Çankaya University as well as by the departments like Mechanical Engineering
Department and Material Science and Engineering Department that are
established recently however completed staff, laboratory and classroom
infrastructure.
By means of Electronic, Communication, Digital and Microprocessor
laboratories owned by Electronic and Communication Engineering Department
that are in service for years, Robotics and Control Laboratories that will be
active recently for Mechatronics Engineering Department; and also Computer,
Technical Drawing, Mechanics and Manufacturing Laboratories that are
used by Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Industrial
Engineering Departments, the students will have the opportunity to perform
their courses practically. Thanks to senior project courses
and particularly to the third and the fourth year courses
including project works; an education which the students
are able to design and develop different Mechatronic
systems is planned.
As the undergraduate program of Çankaya University
Mechatronics Engineering Department is being arranged,
especially attention is paid for providing the domination of
a multi disciplinary nature into the program and facilitating
specialization of the third and fourth year students in an
area that they determine by means of the engineering
based technical elective courses that outnumber similar
program technical elective courses in other universities.
Another important point that distinguishes our program
from other similar programs is even though our program
is strong from the perspective of processing both
Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering
subjects; it has a structure that does not disregard other
engineering fields. Especially by means of the compulsory
and the engineering technical elective courses that
our students take from Computer Engineering and
Industrial Engineering departments, it is aimed to equip
our students with knowledge from different fields and
to use this knowledge in business life. These points
are the distinguishing characteristics of Mechatronics
Engineering Department’s undergraduate program.

ENGLISH PREPARATORY SCHOOL
The medium of education at our university is English. The necessity of speaking the English language
In order to function effectively in academic and professional life, is an indisputable fact. Taking this into
account, the aim of the Preparatory School is to equip you with a certain level of English proficiency
that will help you succeed in your future academic and business life. We achieve this goal by providing a
modern, scientific and student-centered language education program with instructors who are experts
in the field of teaching English.
We offer Proficiency and Placement tests every year for incoming students. The proficiency test
determines whether you will be exempt from the English Preparatory School Program. If not exempt,
your level will be determined in accordance with the results of the Placement test. Students are placed
into three different levels: “Starter”, “Elementary” and “Pre-intermediate.”
At the Preparatory School, classes are offered in eight-week periods.

SERVICES OFFERED TO ENGLISH PREPARATORY SCHOOL STUDENTS
1. Multimedia Classes: Students may engage in various activities that improve their language skills in
these classrooms during their classes.
2. Computer Lab and Internet Access: Students will use the computer labs during their lesson times
and may also use the labs outside of these times. In addition to the three computer labs and multimedia
classes, wireless internet access is available throughout the whole school.
3. Web-Based Applications: We are well aware of the significance of individual learner differences
and the convenience of technology in language education. For this reason, the web-based applications
are used for at least two lecture hours per week under the supervision of the advisor instructors.
These lectures are aimed at encouraging student autonomy in line with contemporary trends, utilizing
information technologies both more effectively and systematically, and developing and improving
independent learning skills.
For this purpose, the Moodle Platform –a virtual environment developed for teaching and learning
purposes and currently used in over 200 countries and by around 50,000 educational institutions, wiki
applications, Google Docs and various other instructional and educational Internet sites are employed
extensively to enable our students to practice foreign languages interactively in and out of the school
premises.
The Moodle Platform provides for the sharing of information and its sources, assists in assessment
and evaluation, serves as a means of communication and makes educational resources accessible
to instructors and students. By accessing discussion forums and other communication tools through
Moodle, where they may maintain correspondence concerning their language education both with
their instructors and among themselves, our students accumulate experience in communication
technologies, which are now paramount in professional life.
4. Advisor Instructors: The advisor instructors announce the meeting times and places for classes in
the beginning of each semester. These meetings (two hours per week) are reserved for discussing the
students’ study methods, the problems they might encounter in their learning, and for administrative,
academic, and general issues.
5. Social Activities: Students have the opportunity to join many student clubs, organize and take part in
various activities (including literature, photography, music, sports, and trips) on both the main campus
and Balgat Campus under the supervision of the instructors and make effective use of their leisure
time.
85
6. Health Services: All students can benefit from
the health services provided by the Health Center
on the main campus.
ENGLISH PROFICIENCY EXAM
Since the medium of education is English in all
departments (except for the Faculty of Law) any
student with an insufficient grade in the English
Proficiency Exam (which is administered at the
beginning of the academic year) is required
to complete the English Preparatory School
successfully. Law faculty students may attend
the English Preparatory School program at their
discretion.
New students enrolled in associate degree,
undergraduate and graduate programs are
86
given the English Proficiency Exam at the
beginning of the academic year in order to
identify whether their English language skills
meet the level required by the departmental
programs in which they have been enrolled.
The evaluation of the English Proficiency Exam
is carried out by a committee appointed by
the Rectorate. Students who score lower than
60 or who do not take this exam are obliged
to commence the English Preparatory School
program.
Students, who complete the Preparatory School,
are required to complete the Intermediate Level
successfully in order to be eligible to take the
English Proficiency Exam.
The total grade of the students at the Preparatory School is
calculated by adding 40% of the Intermediate Level Success Grade
and 60% of the Proficiency Exam grade.
At the end of the Preparatory School, students who score 60 or
higher may begin their undergraduate programs and continue
their English education in academic English classes suitable
to their related programs. The English Language and Literature
Department and Translation and Interpretation Department require
a total score of 70 or higher. For the evaluation of the Preparatory
School overall success grade, which is carried out at the end of
the second semester and at the end of the summer school, the
successful performance of every student is taken into consideration
according to the advice of the Preparatory School Unit and the
decision of Çankaya University English Language Coordination.

About Turkey
Geographically, the Republic of Turkey is a
bridge between Europe and Asia, which makes
the country become a bridge between eastern
and western cultures figuratively. The Republic
was founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in
1923 which marked the end of the long reign
of the Ottoman Empire. Since then, Turkey
has developed into a modern, democratic and
secular state. Turkey is currently a candidate for
membership of the European Union. Turkey’s
population is about 78 million and reflects a rich
variety of cultures.
The Turkish landscape encompasses a vast
variety of geographical zones. This landscape
has the combined characteristics of three
continents of the world: Europe, Africa and Asia.
Anatolia was the center of world civilization
manifested in the ruins and monuments which
adorn today’s landscape. Turkey is also known
for an abundance and diversity of handicrafts,
cuisine, music, customs and traditions.

About Turkey
Turkey’s focal points are its three largest cities: İstanbul, Ankara and
İzmir which have become major urban centers by their historical
heritage as well as modern design. Mythology and history are
intermingled in Antalya on the Mediterranean coast, together with its
beautiful beaches and seaside resorts. Myra (now called Demre), near
Antalya, is where St. Nicholas is buried. “Cappadocia,” named during
the Roman Empire, was a well-known religious center during the
Byzantine Empire. Even today cave dwellings in rock cones and village
houses of volcanic tuff merge harmoniously into the landscape. The
Black Sea region is renowned for its mountainous, green landscape.
The 14th-century “Sümela Monastery” (Virgin Mary) is perched on
a cliff-face 270 meters above a deep gorge. Nemrut Mountain in
Adıyaman is where the tomb of King Antiokhos I was built two thousand
years ago, surrounded by huge stoneheads of gods. In the east, Mount
Ararat, where Noah’s ark is believed to be buried, rises to a height
of 5,165 meters. On the ancient Silk Road, near Kars, lie the ruins of
the medieval city Ani. These are just a few of the characteristics and
excitements of Turkey. For more detailed information on both Turkey
and Ankara you can visit the pages listed below.
