Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering
Admission: All applicants are required to have a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering, or in a
related field of science or engineering. Evaluation of applicants is based on their ALES
(Akademik Personel ve Lisansüstü Eğitimi Giriş Sınavı -
Academic Personnel and Postgraduate Education Entrance Examination) scores, past academic records,
reference letters and an interview. Applicants who are not Turkish citizens and Turkish citizen
applicants who are residents of another country may take GRE instead of ALES. All non-native
speakers of English are required to submit a proof of satisfactory knowledge of English.
Degree Requirements:21 credit units of course work beyond the M.S. level or 42 credits
of course work beyond the B.S. level is required. Ph.D.
candidates must pass a qualifying exam and then must prepare a thesis work proposal. Preparing
and defending a dissertation based on original research is the essence of the program.
A paper based on the candidate's thesis must be accepted or
published in a reputable journal before the dissertation can be defended.
The expected duration to complete
the Ph.D. program is eight semesters for students who enter the program after an M.S. degree,
and ten semesters for those who enter after a B.S. degree. The maximum durations are twelve and
fourteen semesters, respectively.
