| FOUNDATION & HISTORY |
 |
| Industrial Engineering Department, after the establishment within the scope of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of KTU in 1995 with the decision of YÖK,the physical space and academic staff acquisition studies of the department were started. In the scope of KTU Faculty of Engineering, after meeting the need for sufficient physical space and personnel, 40 students were admised in the 2011-2012 academic year and undergraduate education began. Master's program has been carried out under the Industrial Engineering Department within the scope of the KTU Institute of Science and Technology since the 2010-2011 academic year. Working on the initiation of doctorate are progressing. |

| RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING |
|
The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.
In this Directive,
- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.
Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently. |
