Engineering Design Projects

Engineering design project is a requirement for graduation for all programs in the faculty. You need to complete the coursework until 4. semester or you should be able to prove that you are at 7. semester in Sparks system at the time of registry to the Engineering Design Project class as a requirement. (Transfer students and students those registered before 2009 are exempt).

* The students need to form groups and need to register to GE400/FENS402 Engineering Design Project course for Computer Engineering, Electrical-Electronics Engineering, and Industrial Engineering departments, and BIO411/BGE411/MBG411 Project course for Molecular Biology and Genetics (and/or Bioinformatics and Genetics) Department (successful completion should follow the rules for BIO412/BGE412/MBG412). Regarding the details of Molecular Biology and Genetics (and/or Bioinformatics and Genetics) Department, students must contact to Assoc. Prof. Bengü Özuğur Uysal and/or the department chair (always check with these two). For the other details of the eligibility (compulsory courses from the 1. and 2. years, GPA, and the semester that student at, etc.) to register for the Graduation Project at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (and/or Bioinformatics and Genetics), the department evaluates each and every student case by case. The rules of the engineering programs/departments are only for their own students.

* Successful completion of GE 401 course is a prerequisite for the GE400 course.

* Double major students should follow the rules of one of their departments for GE 400.

GE_BG400 Bachelor’s Project

Each project will be conducted by a team of 2-4 students and will be supervised by one or more faculty. Advisors are expected to organize regular (weekly) meetings, evaluate and direct the work done by the team members. GE400/FENS402 forms the capstone of the undergraduate engineering education that involves engineering design for solving a real-life engineering problem and project-management principles.
