General Information
The Faculty of Engineering is offering engineering education
at international standards and quality in an English. Medium
at undergraduate and graduate levels with its five highly
elite and reputable departments. Our departments are close
followers of all the innovations and developments in the
fields of technology and science; attach extreme importance
to research and quality in education as a result of their
position in the TRNC as well as in Turkey; and also support
the collaboration between the University and the Industry.
Research and Development
EMU-TEDCEN (Technology Development Center) was founded in
2000 to create the foundations of a techno-park within the
EMU campus. The members of the Faculty of Engineering carry out
research projects which contribute tremendously to the
collaboration between the university, industry and the
public sector.
EMU-ATRDI (Advanced Technologies Research and Development
Institute) was founded in 2001 in order to unite the
research and development activities within the university
under a single umbrella. The Institute is currently
preparing an Research and Development master plan to serve the entire EMU
research community. The institute provides a channel for the
Engineering Faculty members, to facilitate the submission of
applications to international projects.
The Energy Research Center was founded in 1995 and it is
engaged in research projects dealing with exploring and
using energy in a more rational way to create a cleaner
environment that contributes to the sustainable development
of societies.
Other research centers in the Faculty of Engineering are as
follows:
-
Building Sciences Research Center (BSRC)
-
Water and Marine Sciences Research and Practice Center
-
Traffic Instruction and Research Center
-
Construction Management Research and Practice Center
-
Information Technologies Research and Development Center
(INTERDEC)

five departments; each department carrying out its
educational activities in a separate building designed and
equipped in a manner such that needs of the department are
met .
All of the departments confer degrees that are recognized by
the Higher Education Council (YÖK) of Turkey and they are in
the process of gaining substantial equivalency from ABET
(Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, USA).
The medium of instruction is English in the Faculty. All
undergraduate programs are 4-year degree programs.
Educational Objectives
The Faculty of Engineering offers programs at international
standards to the students enrolled in all the programs, and
the main objective of the undergraduate program is to train
engineers:
-
Who are fully knowledgeable in their professional fields and
have acquired the necessary skills the profession demands
;
-
Who have the capacity to analyze, synthesize, design and
apply;
-
Who can be team players as the real world problems are
progressively becoming more interdisciplinary;
-
Who have learned how to learn and have acquired the habit of
life-long learning that enable them to be successful in an
evolving global economy and allow for the betterment of the
communities in which they live;
-
Who can use the computer effectively, and know how to
exploit information technology;
-
Who have acquired self-confidence, and who can readily take
the initiative.
In order to fulfill our mission stated above, we are in a
continuous process of revising and updating our programs and
