Department of Mechanical Engineering • The Department of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1937 within the body of the Istanbul Technical School. The department applies a curriculum working towards the benefit of our society and humanity within universal criteria, transforming research results into technology and focusing on specialization with optional branch education, furthering its mission to become the leader among similar institutions of national and international reputability. Our aim is to provide the necessary education to raise engineers who are capable of assuming active roles in the technical, administrative and R&D work of industrial enterprises, can produce solutions, possess the abilities of analysis and synthesis, follow and apply technological developments and are able to produce technology; carry out national and international research, produce solutions to industrial problems and contribute to national growth. • Our department has 7 divisions and its academic staff includes 66 professors, associate professors, assistant professors and teaching staff and 46 research assistants. 3

Vision and Mission • Our Vision; By considering the needs of our country and the world and by providing undergraduate and graduate education at the national and international level, to educate mechanical engineers who have the habit of continuous learning, entrepreneurial, teamwork, are capable of producing solutions, researching, analyzing, synthesizing, open to technological developments, sensitive to environmental and cultural values, who are useful in their country and to the humanity, engaged in scientific research and technology development to improve the quality of life of the community with a universal power of thinking, to contribute to the literature by current scientific research and technological developments and to serve the community. • Our Mission; To be a pioneer department that, in the universal criteria, works for the benefit of society and humanity, performs scientific research and implements results as technological development. To educate engineers at the undergraduate and graduate levels, who acquire skills of using the modern capabilities for reaching information, its analysis, usage in practice, evaluation, solution and application, who apply the knowledge of engineering, mathematics and science to Mechanical Engineering problems, interpret engineering problems encountered, who formulate, solve, and present results, who are in continuous learning activities, follow domestic and foreign literature related events, take an active role in group work, who can work with team members in harmony, design systems and apply manufacturing techniques, have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, use information for the benefit of society, have self-confidence in all phases of business life, make decisions by taking responsibility, work in industry’s technical, administration and R & D departments, who are equipped with knowledge and experience, entrepreneur, exploring, open to technological new developments, useful to the country and humanity, in line with national objectives, ready for current and future conditions that may occur, who have authority in the scientific arena, have the power of free and scientific thought and broad world view, are respectful to human rights, balanced in terms of mental, spiritual, moral and emotional health, who can contribute to the country's development and meet its needs, who also ensure their own livelihood and happiness and have the necessary 4 knowledge, skills, behaviors and general culture.

YTU Location and Surroundings • Location Yıldız Technical university is located at the area of old Yildiz Palace at Beşiktaş, which it was built at 1789 by the Ottoman Empire III. Selim.
