To oversee the quality of higher education programs;

- YÖK is responsible for planning, organizing, managing and supervising education and training and other activities in higher education institutions.

- "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK are published every year. The reports prepared according to these reports, including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

- "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" containing academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions is published annually by YÖK. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Creation and Approval of Curricula: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.2. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are adopted by the relevant Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receive a bachelor's diploma.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, in the context of continuous monitoring, enter the "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" of 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" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the legislation.

In order to monitor and ensure the quality of the program:

• Işık University, Self-Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" are prepared every year within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK (Higher Education Council of Turkey) and submitted to it. Through these reports, quantitative and qualitative self-evaluations of different aspects of the university are shared with the public by YÖK.

• Mechanical engineering program is accredited by MÜDEK (the authorized accreditation body for national engineering programs) every five years.

Candidates who want to study at Işık University in Mechanical Engineering undergraduate English program must take YKS (National Higher Education Institutions Exam of Turkey) or DGS (National Exam for Students to Transfer from Associate Degree Programs to Bachelor’s Degree Programs of Turkey) exams held by ÖSYM (National Student Selection and Placement Center of Turkey), get sufficient scores and make their choice. Placement procedures are carried out centrally by ÖSYM. Candidates who have completed high school education abroad can also be accepted to the program if they meet the conditions determined by the University (see Directive for Admission of International Students at Işık University).

Mechanical Engineering graduates have the opportunity to pursue many different careers in different sectors. They can work in machinery design and manufacturing, defense, metallurgy and materials, automotive, transportation, aviation and education sectors. They can work as researchers in the R&D Centers of companies, as design, manufacturing and management engineers. Even today, mechanical engineering is still one of the engineering disciplines with the highest employment potential. After graduation, graduates can also continue their postgraduate education in different fields and do academic studies.
