Modes and Forms of Study
The study program is offered as a full-time and part-time program in mechanical engineering. The part-time program is adapted to meet the needs of employed students.
Primary Objectives
The program aims to address the needs and interests of the national economy, while also fulfilling students’ aspirations to acquire competencies that ensure direct employability upon graduation. Accordingly, the objectives are to:
- Provide graduates with fundamental engineering knowledge and practical skills in modern technologies, ensuring adequate employability.
- Ensure graduates have a broad understanding of mechanical engineering, enabling interdisciplinary collaboration with professionals from other fields.
- Follow the principles of the Bologna Process, the European University Association (EUA), and FEANI, offering elective courses to ensure European-comparable knowledge and employment opportunities.
Consequently:
- Graduates acquire education comparable to contemporary programs in developed Europe.
- Students are enabled to transfer to another comparable undergraduate program, domestically or abroad.
- Through tutoring and modern pedagogical practices, students can transition between study programs and progress seamlessly from year to year.
Graduates are adequately prepared for 2nd-cycle studies and lifelong learning.
