Vision is to be nationally and internationally well recognized in civil engineering education, research, enterprise and serving to the local community.
Our ambition is to play a key role as an educational hub for civil engineering in the region as the only trust university. With this key ambition in mind, our mission is to maximize opportunity through generating knowledge and innovation, and supporting the economy through employment, entrepreneurship, creativity, knowledge transfer. Further, to provide our students with quality education in civil engineering via project based learning approach for lifelong learning perspective.
Our future objectives are
To establish/adopt/improve the project based teaching and learning for active student engagement and student centered learning,
To ensure that students gain lifelong learning skills and abilities via project commitments and build critical thinking,
Build an industry – academy network to foster best practice from practice and cutting-edge knowledge from academia,
Build the academic teams with the right skills and quality to contribute to the faculty activities in teaching, research and enterprising,
Provide state-of-the art learning opportunities informed by cutting edge knowledge and professional practice.
About Us
The Department of Civil Engineering at Hasan Kalyoncu University started accepting students in the 2009-2010 Academic Year. The language of instruction in our department is 100% English. Our students receive a 1-year foreign language education before starting their education in our department. Students who successfully complete their foreign language education are entitled to receive a 4-year/8-semester Civil Engineering education in our department. Our department updated its education system in the 2014-2015 academic year and transitioned to an internationally qualified education. In the new education system, our students who successfully complete all their courses after 7 semesters of education are subject to CO-OP in the 8th semester. In the CO-OP system, our students receive practical training by working in companies that have agreements with our University for 1 semester and establish close contact with the sector.
The Department of Civil Engineering, together with the Institute of Science, conducts master’s and doctoral programs in the fields of Geotechnics, Hydraulics, Mechanics, Transportation and Building Materials. There are 4 laboratories in operation, namely the Soil Mechanics laboratory, Hydraulics laboratory, Construction Materials laboratory and Transportation laboratory, which contribute to the education of the department students, where graduate and doctoral students conduct their experimental studies and also conduct various research projects.
