Studying in Mechatronic Engineering bachelor’s program at Okan University in Turkey:

Mechanical Engineering is a core engineering area with a very wide application domain. There is always a high demand for mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineers play a key role in the design, analysis, development, testing and manufacturing of products ranging from a refrigerator to an automobile. This University and department are in a central location, right in the midst of the mechanical engineering related industries in the Marmara region. They are close to several research centers, technoparks and the international Sabiha Gökçen Airport.

Curriculum:

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Istanbul Okan University has two undergraduate programs:

• Mechanical Engineering
• Automotive Engineering.

The language of instruction in both programs is English. The research and industry experience and well-established relations with the world’s leading universities and research centers is reflected in high quality undergraduate education. their aim is to offer the best preparation to their undergraduate students for their future jobs as Mechanical or Automotive Engineer and for graduate studies.

Their goal is to show special attention to their students in the warm environment of a small university while equipping them with all of the necessary computer and lab skills.

 

Career opportunity:

Automotive OEMs and suppliers form the locomotive of the Turkish industry when the number of jobs and export figures are considered. Consequently, there is a high demand for automotive engineers. Okan is in the top part among the relatively few departments that offer an Automotive Engineering undergraduate program in Turkey. The Formula 1 İstanbul Park circuit is right next to the university. As a result, there is a strong emphasis in the department on the automotive area and automotive applications.

There are other classical areas where mechanical engineers work outside of the automotive area. Some of these are:

• machine design
• production and automation
• industrial robots
• machinery used in ships
• the aerospace industry
• HVAC
  machines for electric production
• medical machines
• home appliances like washing machines and dishwashers and office appliances like copying machines.

In some universities, naval and aerospace engineering have evolved from mechanical engineering departments as separate departments. Note that our graduates can also work in the aerospace and naval industries.

It is possible for graduating seniors to pursue graduate studies in the Automotive Mechatronics and Intelligent Vehicles M.S. or the Mechatronics Ph.D. programs.
