Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences - Computer Engineering - - Third Cycle Programme

General Description

After the closure of the Institute of Electronic Computing Sciences, that has taken place within the Ege University whose establishment was based on 1955, in 1982; the academic staff of institute were transferred to the department of Computer Science Engineering that was established at Ege University, Faculty of Engineering. In 1982-83 academic year, 25 students, by the pre-registration system, were started the education for the bachelor’s degree. In the creation of department’s education program, the contributions of participants of IV. Information Congress which was held in Izmir during this period, the experiences of the other universities’ faculty members and the experiences and the knowledge of the relevant industry’s staff were used. Education program in Turkish carried out until 1985; by 1985-86 academic year, 30% of education program has started to give in English and the name of the program was changed to “Computer Engineering” instead of “Computer Science Engineering”. Between 1992-1996, the entire program was conducted in English and since 1996-97 academic year, it is carried out mainly Turkish. The students admitted to department must have solid knowledge of English. Until 2009, according to the university’s senate’s decisions, the preparatory training year for English was required of all departments.

Computer engineering education is given in the historic three-storey independent building which was the only building when Ege University was founded in 1955, with the total covered area of3960 m2, 2 amphis and 5 classrooms. There are a projector, ac omputer, and a board located in all amphis and classrooms. There are six computer labs in the Computer Engineering Department. The computers in the laboratories have operating systems both of Windows and Linux. In addition, all computers in laboratories are equipped with internet access, and antivirus programs. The special software, that are needed by the courses or laboratories which are related with computer applications, are loaded and on the other hand over time the updates, that are appropriate to the technology, are done. In addition, there are courses related to applications done in the electric-electronics laboratory. In Computer Engineering Department, there are 20 faculty members as 8 professor, 5 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, 3 lecturers and 12 research assistants.
