Mechanical engineers work in many different fields such as heating, cooling, automotive and installation. As one of the university that work closely with business world, Istanbul Okan University aims to educate students for the fields that are most needed in business world. Energy requirements of humanity have been increasing in time. In the future, mechanical engineers working in this field will be needed too much. In the Automotive Engineering Program, university also educates engineers ready to work in this field. According to Chamber of Mechanical Engineers of Turkey, numerous mechanical engineer are needed in manufacturing industry in Turkey.
Today, machines are not only consist of mechanical parts but also electronic parts. For this reason, the engineers that educated in Istanbul Okan University machine programs will also have a compherensive knowledge of mechatronics. The language of education in this department is English. This is mainly because English is a common language for science. Another important reason is that our programs is also preferred by students who come from abroad, Erasmus etc. with exchange programs. In addition, employers are looking for engineers who speak English, especially in international companies.
