About Us

Since its establishment in 1994, our department aims to train talented engineers and future academics who can respond to the rapidly growing demands of the electronic advancements; and works to inspire innovations by conducting research in the field of electronic technologies.

Firstly, Electronic and Communication Engineering Master Degree Program has been initiated in 1998.

Then, the Ph. D. program started accepting students in 2005. With the help of acquired experience, the undergraduate program has started in 2003-2004 in order to meet the requirement of engineer demand in the rapidly developing communication sector.

Our department continues to academic researches and; undergraduate and graduate education programs with 14 faculty members who educated in prestigious universities and 18 research assistants.

Objectives of our programme

Our graduates;
1.  They work in research, development, design and production processes in academia or industry in Electronics and Communication Engineering and related disciplines. They can take managerial and administrative responsibilities at various levels.
2. They can complete master’s and doctorate programs at international standards and engage in academic activities.
3. As entrepreneurial individuals, they can establish companies with current and advanced technology in the fields of Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Currently, 311 undergraduate, 97 M.S and 22 Ph. D. degree students are enrolled in our department. 328 B.S., 37 M.S. and 17 Ph. D. degree students have been graduated from our department.

Internships and Technical Trips

Electrical and Electronics Engineering undergraduate students are required to perform engineering internship for twenty working days in two summer terms. Internships should preferably be carried out in different companies, such that 20 working days in the summer after the 2nd year and 20 working days in the summer after the 3rd year. Our students can perform their summer practice in Aselsan, TAI-TUSAS, Vestel, Turkcell, Vodafone, Arcelik, Bosch, TUBITAK Research Centers, Turk Telekom and TurkSat as well as in some small or medium sized companies. Technical trips are organized to companies such as TAI-TUSAS, Aselsan and Vestel for our students to see the business environments and to increase their knowledge and experience.

Our graduates are employed by leading companies on their sectors and they have the opportunity to continue their education at local and foreign universities.
