Engineering Education in Technical University
Faculty of Engineering is one of the core faculties at Karadeniz Technical University. Firstly, it has been established as three different engineering faculties namely "Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture", "Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering" and "Faculty of Earth Sciences" in 1963.
After the establishment of the Turkish Council of Higher Education in 1981, these faculties have been united as one single faculty under the name "Faculty of Engineering and Architecture" consisting of seven departments (Civil Eng., Electrical Eng., Geodesy Eng., Geophysical Eng., Geology and Architecture). Afterwards, six more departments (Mining Eng., computer Eng., Industrial Eng., Metallurgical and Material eng., Interior Architecture and City And Regional Planning) were added to Faculty.
With decision of The Turkish Council of Ministers in 2005, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture has been cancelled, and two new faculties have been established as Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Architecture. Faculty of Engineering has the following ten departments. All departments excluding Industrial Engineering and Metallurgical and Material Engineering are offering undergraduate program, as well as numerous graduate programs at both master's and doctoral level.

Famous quotes containing the words engineering, education, technical and/or university:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Infants and young children are not just sitting twiddling their thumbs, waiting for their parents to teach them to read and do math. They are expending a vast amount of time and effort in exploring and understanding their immediate world. Healthy education supports and encourages this spontaneous learning.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“In middle life, the human back is spoiling for a technical knockout and will use the flimsiest excuse, even a sneeze, to fall apart.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“The scholar is that man who must take up into himself all the ability of the time, all the contributions of the past, all the hopes of the future. He must be an university of knowledges.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
