Branded courses are courses developed within the framework of university–industry collaboration, where the knowledge, experience, and practical applications of leading institutions and companies are directly integrated into the educational process. In these courses, current industry needs, real business processes, and practical case examples are shared with students. Branded courses aim to enhance students’ professional competencies by supporting theoretical knowledge with practical experience. At the same time, they provide students with opportunities to interact directly with industry professionals and gain greater awareness of potential career paths.
The course content is designed in line with the expertise of the collaborating brand or institution and is based on up-to-date technologies and real-world applications. This structure helps graduates enter the workforce with stronger skills and greater readiness. Branded courses therefore represent an important educational model that strengthens the university’s practice-oriented learning approach.
Industry-Branded Courses of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences for the 2025–2026 Academic Year
| Course Code | IE495 Human Resource Management |  | |
| Company | NTT Data | ||
| Department | Industrial Engineering | ||
| Within the scope of this course, students will learn the fundamental practices, methods, and decision-making processes in the field of Human Resources (HR) and develop the ability to apply this knowledge to real-world business problems. Throughout the course, contemporary approaches related to personnel management, talent acquisition, performance evaluation, and organizational decision-support processes will be examined. Students will gain both conceptual understanding and practical experience with the analytical, managerial, and operational techniques used in HR processes. | |||
| Course Code | CENG413 Software Quality Standards |  | |
| Company | Amazon Web Services (AWS) | ||
| Department | Computer Engineering | ||
Within the scope
of this course, students will learn software quality standards, quality
assurance approaches, and international standards (such as ISO/IEC and IEEE)
through the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud infrastructure, and will develop
the ability to apply this knowledge to real-world software projects. Throughout
the course, topics such as the software development lifecycle, testing
processes, quality measurement, and continuous improvement approaches will be
examined. Students will gain both theoretical understanding and practical
experience with quality assurance processes implemented on scalable and
distributed systems based on AWS. By interpreting
software quality standards, students will apply risk analysis, test planning,
monitoring, and reporting activities on realistic systems operating within AWS
environments. Through the use of tools such as CI/CD pipelines, automated
testing frameworks, issue tracking systems, and performance monitoring
platforms, students will develop the competencies required to design
quality-oriented software development processes and comprehensive quality
assurance plans. | |||
| Course Code | EEE307 Analog Communication |  |
| Company | ULAK | |
| Department | Electrical and Electronics Engineering | |
Within the scope
of this course, students will learn the architecture and fundamental components
of a typical communication system and develop the ability to analyze the
physical and technical factors that limit communication performance. Throughout
the course, analog communication principles and continuous-wave modulation
techniques will be examined from a theoretical perspective, and students will
gain practical experience by modeling and applying these methods to realistic
communication systems. Students will
design communication systems using continuous-wave modulation techniques such
as Amplitude Modulation (AM), Frequency Modulation (FM), and Phase Modulation
(PM). They will analyze system performance, bandwidth requirements, and the
effects of noise, and compare different modulation techniques. Through these
analyses, students will develop fundamental skills in communication system
evaluation and optimization. | ||
| Course Code | MCHT236 Mechatronic System Design |  |
| Company | WILO | |
| Department | Mechatronics Engineering | |
Within the scope of this
course, students will learn the fundamental concepts, components, and
system-oriented approach of mechatronics engineering, gaining an understanding
of how mechanical, electrical–electronic, and software components are
integrated to form complex engineering systems. In addition, pump systems will
be examined from a mechatronic system design perspective, where mechanical
infrastructure, electrical–electronic components, and sensor-based control structures
are considered as parts of an integrated engineering system. | ||
