| Department of Computer Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering at the Karadeniz Technical University was founded in 1993. One year English Language course is compulsory with succesful grade before proceeding to the deparment programs since 1997. Students are required to register courses listed under either one of hardware or software options at the 5th semester. |
|

|
| The students who have graduated from the Department of Computer Engineering is awarded with a Bachelor's degree in the field of Computer Engineering. |
|
| LEVEL of QUALIFICATION: |
|
| First Cycle Degree |
|
| MODE of STUDY |

3 - English proficiency (500 from TOEFL / 6 from IELTS) |
|
| OBJECTIVE of THE PROGRAMME |
|
| The program's goals are to educate students so that they acquire relevant knowledge about computer science, engineering and related fields, to develop students' ability to solve computer engineering problems using techniques and modern engineering tools, to develop knowledge in designing, implementing and analyzing results for hardware and software engineering problems and to develop effective communication abilities. |

| 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. |

| QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS and REGULATIONS |
|
To be able to secure the bachelor's degree in the field of Computer Engineering (and thus title of Computer Engineer) the students are required to
(a) have passed all courses in the curiculum with a grade of at least DC,
(b) have achieved a cumulative gross point average of at least 2.00 out of 4.00,
(c) completed the compulsory practical placement period of 60 days at least at two diferent places and had a passing grade for the reports prepared for these placements,
(d) prepared a graduation thesis, submitted and successfully defended with a passing grade. |
|
| EXAMINATION, ASSESSMENT and GRADING REGULATIONS |
|
| The examination, assessment and grading regulations have been set up for the university by the University Senate and the Department of Computer Engineering is bound by these regulations. In general, each course is assessed via a midterm exam (a course-specific additional exam composed of quizzes, homeworks and assignments) and a final end-of-term exam, with contributions of 50% and 50% respectively. The marking is made out of 100. Using relative grade system, final course grade is determined. Grades of AA to CC are pass, DD to FF fail, and DC is conditional pass and requires a CGPA of at least 2.0 for that term. The details given for each course in the programme include the detailed assessment methods together with a description of the additional midterm exam. |
|
| GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS |
|
| The graduation requirements for the Department of Computer Engineering are the same as the qualification requirements and regulations. There is no additional requirement to secure the Bachelor's Degree provided that the students have passed all the courses in the curriculum with at least a DC grade, had a cumulative gross point average of at least 2.00 out of 4.00, and completed the compulsory practical placement period of 60 days and had a passing grade for the reports prepared for these placements. |
|
| OCCUPATIONAL PROFILES of GRADUATES |
|
| The graduates of the Computer Engineering Department has many employment opportunities in a variety of state and private funded companies. The main state funded instutions they work include IT departments of companies, banks, etc., and software development centers of private companies. Currently, majority of the graduates are employed in academic institutions, at private sector engaged mainly in software development and corparations where they work as system and database administrator. |
|
| ACCESS to FURTHER STUDIES |
|
| The students who have successfully graduated from the department may apply to post graduate programmes in the field of Computer Engineering here and in other universities, as well as other fields accepting students from the discipline. |
