Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering covers the design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems, from engines and machinery to consumer products and industrial equipment. Coursework typically covers thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, machine design, manufacturing processes, and control systems, supported by mathematics and physics. Students learn to model mechanical systems, analyze forces and energy flows, and translate designs into manufacturable components, often using computer-aided design tools. Laboratory work commonly involves testing materials, building and evaluating mechanical prototypes, and analyzing thermal or fluid systems. Graduates work in manufacturing, automotive, energy, and machinery industries, taking on roles in design, production, quality, and maintenance engineering. This bachelor program is delivered in English over 4 years at Işık University in İstanbul, Turkey. Instruction in English supports engagement with the international engineering standards and technical documentation common in mechanical design and manufacturing, and prepares graduates for globally oriented industry roles. Based in İstanbul, the university sits within a substantial manufacturing and industrial base relevant to mechanical engineering practice. Over the four-year program, students progress from foundational mechanics, thermodynamics, and mathematics courses to specialized design and manufacturing coursework, ending with a capstone engineering project.
