The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture was establihed in 1976 and started the education under the name of Bursa University Mechanical Engineering Faculty at Hürriyet Tezok Campus. In the first year, education was performed only in Mechanical Engineering Department and in the following year Textile Engineering Department was opened to education.
The two faculties were unified under the name of the Faculty of Engineering in Uludag University as a result of reorganization realized in Higher Education Institutions in 1982. With opening decision of the Department of Architecture in 1993, the name of the faculty was changed as the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Uludag University. The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture was moved to the Görükle Campus, Bursa, in 1985. Mechanical Engineering Department was also in the bulding of the Faculty up to 2010. The education continues in its modern building built in 2010 by donations of Ali Durmaz, who is an industrialist from Bursa.Since 2013 with the seperation of Faculty of Engineering-Architecture it has been called Faculty of Engineering.

This department is subject to first stage degree system for 240 ECTS credits in mechanical engineering area in the higher education. When the program was completed successfully and program qualifications are provided, an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering area can be taken.

First Cycle

Mechanical Engineering Department admits the students for I. and II. formal education programs with a central exam administered by the National Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). The quotas of programs are 100 students in the 2019-2020 academic year. Additionally, students are admitted with an undergraduate transfer in numbers approved by the Department Administrative Board and a vertical transfer in numbers approved by the Department Administrative Board and the Higher Education Council (YÖK).

The provisions in “Regulation on Transfer among Associate and Undergraduate Degree Programs, Double Major, and Subspecialty and the Principals of Credit Transfer among Institutions in Higher Education Institutions” are applied.

In order to acquire the undergraduate degree in the Mechanical Engineering area is necessary to complete successfully all compulsory and elective courses in the program (for a total of 240 ECTS), which students have to take, and to be at least 2.0 over 4.0 of Grade Point Average (GAP).

Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading

All students have to register for courses at the beginning of the semester and attend to the classwork for at least 70% and to the laboratory work for at least 80% in order for the students to be allowed to take the final exam. The students are subjected to at least one midterm exam and final exam for each course. The evaluation criteria for each course were announced by the relevant faculty member/staff at the beginning of the semester. The contribution of the final exam is 60% and midterm exam to the grade point is 40% (the points obtained from the assessment instruments, such as homeworks, projects, quizzes etc., may also participate the evaluation as the midterm exam). All exams are evaluated over 100 point. At least 50 point in the final exam have to be taken. The students received one of AA, BA, BB, CB and CC letter grades from any course are considered successful in this course. DC and DD points are the conditional successful points. To be successful for any course, which the student received DC or DD, the GAP must be at least 2.0.

12

Graduation Requirements

To complete successfully the program requires to pass all of the present courses in the program (with 240 ECTS credits), to get GPA at least 2.00 over 4.00 and to complete successfully the interships. The students have to have at least DD point for each course and at least 2.00/4.00 GAP for graduation. Two design projects and graduation study that must be completed in the curriculum also take place for undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. Graduation study is assessed as a course in the eighth midterm.
