Program Educational Objectives
- To actively take part in research and development projects by integrating knowledge gained in basic sciences, engineering, and genetics-biotechnology with interdisciplinary approaches.
- To assume responsibilities in areas such as production, quality control, R&D, and management within local and international organizations operating in sectors including industry, health, environment, and agriculture.
- To contribute to scientific knowledge production at the national or international level by pursuing graduate and doctoral studies and to build an academic career.
- To maintain professional development as individuals who are committed to ethical values, open to lifelong learning, and equipped with communication and teamwork skills.
- To become entrepreneurial individuals in biotechnological product development, bio-entrepreneurship, and in producing innovative solutions.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Adequate knowledge of mathematics, natural sciences, and genetics and bioengineering; ability to apply theoretical and applied knowledge in these areas for modeling and solving engineering problems.
- Ability to identify, define, formulate, and solve complex bioengineering problems; ability to select and apply appropriate analysis and modeling methods for this purpose.
- Ability to design a complex bioengineering system or process to meet specific requirements under realistic constraints and conditions; ability to apply modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic constraints and conditions may include factors such as economics, environmental issues, sustainability, manufacturability, ethics, health, safety, social, and political concerns, depending on the nature of the design.)
- Ability to develop, select, and use modern techniques and tools required for genetics and bioengineering applications; ability to effectively use information technologies.
- Ability to design experiments, conduct experiments, collect data, analyze and interpret results for the investigation of genetics and bioengineering problems.
- Ability to work effectively both individually and within disciplinary and multidisciplinary teams.
- Ability to communicate effectively in written and oral form in both Turkish and English.
- Recognition of the need for lifelong learning; ability to access information, follow developments in science and technology, and continuously renew oneself.
- Awareness of professional and ethical responsibility; competence to contribute to the development of the profession.
- Knowledge of bioengineering practices in project management, risk management, and change management; awareness of entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable development.
- Knowledge of the universal and societal impacts of bioengineering practices on health, environment, and safety, as well as awareness of contemporary issues; recognition of the legal consequences of engineering solutions
