Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering covers the design, analysis, and manufacture of mechanical systems, from small components to large machines. Students study statics and dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and machine design, supported by laboratory work and computer-aided design projects. The program develops both theoretical understanding and practical skills needed to design, test, and improve mechanical products and systems. Graduates work in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, energy, and robotics industries, or continue to graduate study in mechanical or related engineering fields. The program is taught in English and runs over 4 years at Koç University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. Over the 4 years of study, students move from foundational courses toward more specialized electives, building both the theoretical grounding and the practical skills expected in the field. Studying at Koç University places students within İstanbul's wider academic and professional community, giving access to campus resources, faculty guidance, and opportunities to connect coursework with real-world practice through projects, internships, or research work depending on the track chosen. Design projects and laboratory sessions in mechanics and materials give students hands-on practice with the tools and testing methods used in industry. By graduation, students are expected to have a solid command of the discipline's core methods and terminology, along with the communication and analytical habits needed to move into entry-level professional roles or continue toward graduate study.
