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)

  • Renewable Energy Resources Research Center
