      Historical Development  

 
        Our Computer Engineering Department was established in 1994;     it accepted its first students in the 1996-1997 academic year,     and graduated its first students in the 1999-2000 academic year.     Until 2006-2007, 30 students were admitted annually via ÖSS,     and double major and minor programs were started from 2005-2006 onwards.     In our department, where undergraduate students were not admitted between 2007-2015 by YÖK (Council of Higher Education) decision, admissions resumed from 2015-2016     and a 30% English education model has been applied since 2016-2017.
