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)
“The experience of the race shows that we get our most important education not through books but through our work. We are developed by our daily task, or else demoralized by it, as by nothing else.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man’s image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
—Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)
