Dear Students,
The Faculty of Engineering at Istanbul Gedik University in Turkey is built upon a strong foundation of practical education in higher education. It has a vision that is based on science and technology, innovation, and continuous development. The faculty is research-oriented, located at the center of University-Industry collaboration, spreading a total quality approach to all academic and administrative units, and aiming to achieve internationalization in all fields.
Our faculty is dedicated to providing quality services for students and academic staff, offering a happy, peaceful, healthy, and successful working environment. We focus on learning how to learn, transforming knowledge into practice through education and teaching. We contribute to science through research and development projects and consider solving national and international problems through our application and research centers as a duty, aiming to be a respected and excellent institution.
Our founder, Mr. Halil Kaya GEDİK, instilled the confidence and work ethic that led him to say, “If an engineer somewhere in the world has invented something, I must invent too.” We aim to continue our efforts not only in the field of engineering but also in science, social sciences, health, and all disciplines by imparting this spirit and work ethic to our students and employees. Within this framework, our education programs will provide practical training alongside theoretical knowledge, turning information into reality. With active field applications, we will enable our students to closely understand every sector they study and prepare for their professional lives.
Our Faculty of Engineering consists of six departments:
- Computer Engineering
- Industrial Engineering
- Mechatronics Engineering (English)
- Metallurgy and Materials Engineering
- Nanotechnology Engineering
- Software Engineering
Our main philosophy at Istanbul Gedik University Faculty of Engineering is to educate young people who have mastered the fundamental engineering approaches and methods, possess the ability to apply them innovatively and creatively to solve current problems, know national and international industrial organizations, and can compete globally. We give great importance to our pioneering position in industrial relationships, both in education and research. During their education, our students gain direct work experience in at least one industrial organization.
With the goal of contributing to Turkey’s aim of producing its own technology by 2030 and establishing ourselves in this goal, we ensure the continuity of the necessary arrangements for our students to acquire the competencies required by the demands of the century in all academic education and training programs. Our primary goal is to educate individuals with broad horizons and independent thinking who can achieve their own ideals.
Dear Students, we welcome you to the Faculty where quality is the core approach, where scientific thought merges with technology and transforms into practice in every discipline of engineering.
Welcome to Istanbul Gedik University, and I wish you all success.
Acting Dean of the Faculty of Engineering
Prof. Dr. Ahmet Kesik
