‘A First in Turkey; Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering’
The Rector stated that the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering was established in order to meet a significant need in a field. Prof. Dr. Esen stated the following:
“Mechanical and Materials Engineers have extensive employment opportunities both in Turkey and worldwide. Materials science, with the discovery and design of new materials, paved the way for new designs and implementations in mechanical engineering. These developments called for engineers who can grasp the needs of the time quickly and diversify the design criteria based on that. We’ve established the first Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering in Turkey at Izmir University of Economics because of that reason. Our goal is to meet the need for mechanical and materials engineers in industry concurrently, and train engineers who, not only uses technology, but produces and improves it at the same time.”
