KTO Karatay University was established in 2009, and the Civil Engineering Program began its activities in 2012 under the Faculty of Engineering with 30% of the courses offered in English.

The 4-year program in the Department of Civil Engineering focuses on engineering knowledge and technical skills, with the majority of the courses being mandatory. Starting from the first year, elective courses are gradually introduced, increasing up to the end of the 8th semester. The Civil Engineering Program is supported by modern technological infrastructure and software tools. In order to help students adapt to the industry before graduation, they are required to complete two separate internship programs, each lasting 20 working days.

When determining the program educational objectives of our department, the regional needs of Konya and surrounding cities, as well as national requirements and the characteristics and competencies of the faculty members, have been considered. The educational objectives of the Civil Engineering Program have been set in a way that aligns with the career goals and professional expectations that graduates are expected to achieve in the near future. While setting these objectives, not only the career goals graduates strive to reach but also the attributes necessary for ensuring the sustainability of their careers have been taken into account. The main program objectives can be summarized as follows:

• Work as technical staff and/or manager in public institutions and organizations operating in the basic fields of civil engineering. • Work as a project engineer, field engineer, or site manager in national or international private companies. • Establish their own company and, through their professional and personal skills, contribute to the development of the company, thereby becoming an employer. • Pursue graduate education to enhance their engineering knowledge and skills.

Our department provides education in modern classrooms and laboratories equipped with advanced facilities. There are two computer laboratories with a total capacity of 48 students, all connected to the internet, for the training in the Civil Engineering Department. Additionally, for deep and detailed analyses, students can also use the 16-person high-performance computer laboratory located in the basement of Block A. The computers are equipped with office software such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and engineering

Education and instruction in the Department of Civil Engineering are conducted through full-time, open, or distance learning formats. Additionally, our students receive practical training by participating in projects at laboratories and workshops within higher education institutions, as well as in construction industry workplaces or on-site. This process allows students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice, strengthening their integration with the industry before graduation.

This program is also offered with a full scholarship.

Students are required to attend 70% of theoretical courses and 80% of practical courses. Otherwise, they will fail due to absenteeism. The student's attendance is monitored by the course instructor. If the student fails due to absenteeism, their grade will be FX. According to our department's regulations, at least one midterm and one final exam are held every semester. Students who fail the final exams and those who are eligible to take the final exam but do not attend are granted the right to take a makeup exam at the end of the respective semester/year for each course they failed. The grade obtained in the makeup exam will replace the final exam grade. In the civil engineering program, the effect of the midterm exam on the final grade is at least 30%, while the effect of the final exam on the final grade is at most 70%. Students who are unable to attend the midterm exams due to valid excuses accepted by the relevant administrative boards can apply for a makeup exam by providing documentation of their excuse and applying in writing within five days after the exams have ended, as per the decision of the relevant administrative board. In order to graduate, students must meet the attendance requirements. If they fail a maximum of three courses, they can apply for a one-time graduation exam within one month following the makeup exams.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

• YÖK is responsible for the planning, organization, management, and supervision of education and training activities and other activities conducted in higher education institutions.
• Within the framework of the criteria set by YÖK, "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for higher education institutions are published annually. These reports contain quantitative and qualitative evaluations for higher education institutions, which are shared with the public by YÖK.
• YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" annually, containing academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Creation and Approval of the Curriculum: 1.1. YÖK sets the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions. 1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles set by YÖK. 1.3. After the curriculum of the National Core Curriculum is approved by the relevant Deans' Council, it is implemented by higher education institutions with YÖK's approval.
2. Measurement and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes that each undergraduate program aims to provide to students are carried out in accordance with the basic principles set by YÖK and the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions.
3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs who successfully complete the required course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions will receive a bachelor's degree.
4. Self-Assessment and External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, as part of continuous monitoring, enter the "Institutional Self-Assessment Reports" for the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions given by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK demonstrate that the programs meet the quality assurance standards. YÖKAK regularly conducts reviews of the qualifications determined according to its regulations.

 It has been accredited by MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs) as a result of the evaluation conducted, valid from May 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026.

Student admission to our department is made based on the results of the Student Selection and Placement Examination organized by the Student Selection and Placement Center and other regulations determined by the Higher Education Council. Candidates who are eligible to become students of the Civil Engineering Department must apply to the Student Affairs Coordination of KTO Karatay University within the time period set by the ÖSYM Presidency to complete their final registration. Additionally, the admission of international or foreign students is conducted according to the KTO Karatay University Regulations for Admission of International Students. Furthermore, students are admitted to the department through horizontal transfer within a certain quota. The regulations regarding the conditions and implementation of horizontal transfers can be accessed on the KTO Karatay University Student Affairs Coordination webpage.
