Possesses advanced proficiency in the following key competences:

• Literacy Competence
• Multilingual Competence
• Mathematical Competence and Competence in Science, Technology, and Engineering
• Digital Competence
• Personal, Social, and Learning-to-Learn Competence
• Citizenship Competence
• Entrepreneurship Competence
• Cultural Awareness and Expression Competence

• Assessment of Success

  In assessing a student’s performance in a course, both the grade obtained from semester work (out of 100) and the grade obtained in the final exam (out of 100) are considered.

  In measuring success, the weight of the semester work is 40%, and the weight of the final exam is 60%. (These percentages may be modified by the decision of the Faculty Senate for certain courses.)

  The relative evaluation system is used in determining achievement grades.

  Achievement Grades and Coefficients

  AA: 4.00 (Excellent)

  BA: 3.50 (Very Good)

  BB: 3.00 (Good)

  CB: 2.50 (Average)

  CC: 2.00 (Satisfactory)

  DC: 1.50 (Provisionally Successful)

  DD: 1.00 (Fail)

  FD: 0.50 (Fail)

  FF / F0: 0.00 (Fail)

  Additional Notes:

  DC indicates that the student has been provisionally successful in a course. To graduate, a student must have a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 2.00. DC grades are included in the CGPA.

  G (Pass): Indicates that the student has successfully completed a course; not included in CGPA.

  K (Fail): Indicates failure in a non-credit course; not included in CGPA.

  İ (Leave of Absence): Indicates that the course requirements could not be completed due to illness or valid excuse; if not completed in the following semester, it automatically converts into an FF.

  M (Exemption): Indicates exemption from equivalent courses taken in previous programs; not included in CGPA.

  Make-up, Single Course, and Graduation Exams

  Make-up Exam: Students who fail or do not attend the final exam have the right to take a make-up exam for the relevant semester.

  Single Course Exam: Students who are at the graduation stage and fail only one course are entitled to a single course exam under the relevant regulations.

  Graduation Exam: Students who fail a maximum of two courses or whose CGPA remains below 2.00 are granted the right to a graduation exam within the period specified in the academic calendar. To be considered successful, a minimum grade of CC must be obtained.

Our department program was accredited by MÜDEK on 01.05.2025, and is valid until 30.09.2030.

Apart from MÜDEK, 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. Development and Approval of Educational Programs:

1.1. The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) determines 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 is expected to impart to students are determined by the university senate in accordance with the fundamental principles set by YÖK.

1.3. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions after being accepted by the relevant Council of Deans and approved by YÖK.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The methods for assessing and evaluating the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program are carried out according to the education, training, and examination regulations prepared by the university senate, in line with the fundamental principles determined by YÖK.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs receive a bachelor's diploma upon successfully completing the required course credits and other obligations determined by the higher education institutions.

4. Self-Evaluation and External Evaluation: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions submit their "Internal Evaluation Reports" for the previous year to the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year via the Information System prepared by YÖKAK.

YÖKAK publicly shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared regarding the external evaluation of higher education institutions. Accreditation decisions granted by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also demonstrate that the program's qualifications are assured for quality. Regular reviews regarding the qualifications determined by YÖKAK regulations are conducted to ensure continuous improvement.

1. Graduating from a secondary education institution or an equivalent foreign secondary education institution recognized by the Ministry of National Education and fulfilling the admission requirements of higher education institutions' undergraduate programs.

2. Being placed in the relevant undergraduate program of a higher education institution based on the results of the central examination conducted by the Measurement, Selection, and Placement Center (ÖSYM), in accordance with the procedures and principles determined by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).

3. For programs that admit students through a special talent examination, obtaining a sufficient score from the central examination conducted by ÖSYM and successfully passing the special talent examination, as per the procedures and principles set by YÖK.

4. For associate degree graduates, being placed in an undergraduate program that is a continuation of their completed field of study, based on the results of the Vertical Transfer Examination (DGS) conducted by ÖSYM, in accordance with YÖK's established procedures and principles.

Engineers graduating from the Mechatronics Engineering program can work in all public and private institutions where technology is used and developed (such as universities, R&D departments of industrial organizations, and technology-producing public and private institutions). Current public institutions where graduates can work include R&D-oriented organizations such as ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, TUSAŞ, TÜBİTAK, TSE, and KOSGEB. In addition, many other organizations aim to develop technology and invest in this field. Numerous companies established within technoparks also contribute to the advancement of technology. Our graduates may also be employed in these companies and develop new projects through university–industry collaboration.
