Software engineering; It is a department that provides theoretical and practical education and training on computer software systems and applications, which are indispensable for the information age. In the department where basic mathematics courses, computer software system analysis, internet applications, mobile applications and cyber security are offered, graduates who can work in companies that design, develop and market software systems in the public and private sectors, industry are given. Being able to theoretically analyze, evaluate and interpret the subjects in the field of Computer Science, apply scientific research methods and information technology applications effectively in their studies, conduct adequate and competent studies in line with the theoretical knowledge gained in the field of Computer Science, To train students who can develop applications. Our mission is to bring in individuals who can express their ideas in at least one foreign language in written and orally, are successful in problem solving, time management, resource management, work discipline and communication skills, have the ability to work individually, and have the ability to work in a team and take responsibility. Program Educational Objectives (PEH/PEO) According to the mission of the Software Engineering program, the following program educational objectives are the career and professional achievements that our graduates are expected to achieve within a few years of graduation: 1. Disciplined reasoning, critical thinking and applied practice to identify, analyze and solve problems apply skills. 2. Communicate effectively, verbally and in writing, to express technical information, ideas and suggestions. 3. Consider the professional, ethical, and social responsibility of engineering technology practices 4. Act effectively, think independently, and work collaboratively in a team environment in a membership or leadership role. 5. Actively participates in professional development, including continuous self-development and lifelong learning. It is to give graduates who have a questioning attitude on the basis of scientific thinking by following scientific journals and publications, adopt the behaviors of understanding, evaluating and participating in social events as a principle within the framework of universal values, adopting the requirements of the philosophy of lifelong learning, having a high level of awareness and civil courage.
In Software Engineering, where rapidly advancing technology and developments in the field of information technologies are followed closely, the target is; to educate students with the knowledge and equipment to adapt to developments in this field after graduation.
Graduates who have gained the ability to follow the rapidly developing computer technology, think analytically and produce solutions can successfully ensure the continuity of the existing systems in the business world. At the same time, our graduates, who have the ability and knowledge to produce new projects, also put their signature to technologies that will shape the future.
Graduates of the Software Engineering Department also complete their foreign language education. Our graduates, who have the ability to express themselves in at least one foreign language, both in writing and orally, have the self-confidence, knowledge, work discipline and communication skills that demonstrate their abilities.
Career opportunities and job opportunities for software engineering graduates are quite high. Graduates can work in national and international companies. In all companies that use and produce computer technology, they can take part in expert and management positions in software development, software application and engineering. Those who specialize in certain specific areas and continue their education in this field also gain expertise in developing new technologies.
As digitalization continues to transform the modern world, Software Engineering is becoming an increasingly important and rapidly developing discipline. Advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, cloud computing, and digital transformation are expected to further increase the demand for qualified software engineers.
Software Engineering will also play a significant role in the development of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and other innovative technologies. As software-based solutions continue to be adopted across a wide range of industries, graduates will have access to diverse career opportunities. Therefore, individuals with a degree in Software Engineering are expected to have strong employment prospects in the future.
The Software Engineering Program is a suitable choice for students who are interested in mathematics, logic, technology, and other quantitative fields. Individuals who enjoy coding, possess strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, and are motivated to develop creative solutions to complex problems can succeed in this field.
Prospective students should also be open to continuous learning and self-improvement, as software technologies and development practices evolve rapidly. Since the language of instruction is English, students are expected to be willing to improve their English proficiency, follow international technical resources, and learn software development methods that comply with industry standards.
Software Engineering encompasses a broad range of activities, including the analysis, design, development, testing, and sustainable management of software systems. Throughout the program, students acquire knowledge and skills in areas such as web and mobile application development, artificial intelligence and machine learning, data science, cybersecurity, cloud computing, embedded systems, game development, database management, and the Internet of Things.
In addition, software architecture, user experience, quality assurance, project management, and software development processes are among the program’s core areas of study. By reinforcing their theoretical knowledge through practical work and projects, students develop reliable, innovative, and sustainable software solutions that address the needs of various industries.
Horizontal transfer is possible to Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering and Architecture departments.
Graduates of associate degree programs in computer science and information technologies may transfer to the Software Engineering Program, provided that they meet the required success criteria in the Vertical Transfer Examination (DGS).
