Undergraduate on Computer Engineering

Overview

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The undergraduate program in Computer Engineering is designed so that students have a balanced background in computer hardware, software, and computer applications, and that they can adapt themselves to the rapidly changing technologies in their professional careers. Emphasis is on the engineering aspects of the field such as the analysis and design of both hardware and software systems.

The course requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering total a minimum of 145 credit hours of formal course work. The first five semesters of the program are common to all students. Starting in the sixth semester, students take elective courses in order to specialize in the subject according to their interests. During their study students must complete an industrial training of a minimum of 60 work days.

Elective Courses

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) courses are an integral part of the engineering curriculum at Boğaziçi University. These courses are designed to complement technical training by expanding students’ understanding of human society, culture, ethics, and critical thinking. They help engineering students develop a broader perspective on the social and ethical dimensions of their work.

Double Major Degree Program

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

A double major program enables Boğaziçi University students to concurrently obtain two separate undergraduate diplomas for two separate undergraduate programs.

Double Major Programs Directive at Boğaziçi University encompasses provisions regarding student admissions and registration procedures for double major programs conducted at Boğaziçi University, as well as regulations pertaining to the implementation of double major program practices. You can check the directive on the University’s page.

Minor Degree Program

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

A minor program enables Boğaziçi University students to obtain a non-degree certificate by completing a limited number of courses in a specific field within another undergraduate program at the University.

Minor Degree Programs Directive at Boğaziçi University encompasses provisions regarding student admissions and registration procedures for minor degree programs conducted at Boğaziçi University, as well as regulations pertaining to the implementation of minor degree program practices. You can check the directive on the University’s page.

Exchange Programs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

International Student Mobility

The Computer Engineering Department encourages its students to consider studying abroad through exchange programs, which offer a unique opportunity to explore the field from a global perspective.

Studying abroad enriches the experience of students in computer engineering careers, preparing them to adapt to new environments and understand diverse problem-solving approaches in the field. Exposure to different educational and cultural contexts expands academic horizons and cultivates essential skills for success in the globalized tech industry.

Industrial Training

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Objective

The main objective of Industrial Training is to contribute to the education of the students of the Faculty of Engineering by providing them practical, technological, as well as managerial experience and knowledge in nonacademic organizations.

Regulations

Each student must complete a total of at least 60 working days of training as a partial requirement for an undergraduate degree in engineering.
Each department determines the areas and minimum durations of training according to its own engineering formation and educational program, and announces them to the students. The duration of each training cannot be less than 15 working days, and the total requirement should be completed in at least two different organizations.
It is the responsibility of the department’s training coordinator to coordinate and guide training activities in conformity with these bylaws.
Students who have successfully completed their undergraduate program, but have not fulfilled their training requirements properly are not allowed to register. These students have to complete their training by the end of the first semester after they complete their coursework in the undergraduate program.
At the end of each training, the documents listed below must be submitted to the training coordinator within one month after the beginning of the next academic semester. The total delay in days in the submission of these documents after the deadline will be subtracted from the duration of training.

Required Documents

Training Booklet: This refers to either a specially formatted booklet containing several issues related to training and available from the University Bookstore and from the Faculty website, or to a report the format of which is determined by the department. This booklet is to be filled in by the students in English and it consists mainly of the following three parts:

Senior Projects

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Our senior-year students in computer engineering demonstrate their brilliance and skills through a variety of specialized senior projects. These projects showcase their proficiency in areas such as software/system development, hardware design, robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. From applying cutting-edge algorithms and designing advanced computer systems to developing innovative software applications and addressing robotic challenges, our computer engineering seniors push the boundaries of technological innovation and make significant contributions to the field before embarking on their professional careers.
