History
The Faculty of Engineering began its education in 1976-1977 as the Denizli Academy of Architecture and Engineering, with the Mechanical and Civil Engineering Departments located in a section of the Public Education Directorate building of the Ministry of National Education. In 1979, it was moved to this building, along with the building and outbuildings of Private Çamlık College in the Çamlık area, and continued its education there.
With the establishment of Dokuz Eylül University (DEU) in 1982, Denizli Architecture and Engineering Academy continued its educational activities as Dokuz Eylül University Denizli Faculty of Engineering. Due to the inadequacy of the DEU Denizli Faculty of Engineering buildings, a land of approximately 1,000 acres in the Kınıklı area was expropriated for the Faculty of Engineering. The Civil Engineering Department moved to the building constructed on this land in 1990. From 1990 onwards, the DEU Denizli Faculty of Engineering was located on the Çamlık Campus, with the Dean's Office and the Mechanical Engineering Department, while the Civil Engineering Department continued its educational activities on the Kınıklı Campus until the establishment of Pamukkale University in 1992. With the establishment of Pamukkale University in 1992, the DEU Denizlik Faculty of Engineering continued its educational activities on the Çamlık Campus under the name Pamukkale University Faculty of Engineering. Since the Fall Semester of 2006-2007, it has moved to the newly constructed Kınıklı Campus and has been continuing its educational activities. All departments, except the Civil and Geological Engineering Departments, operate in this building. The Civil and Geological Engineering Departments, however, operate in a separate building on the Kınıklı Campus.
Since its establishment, the Faculty has continued its education and training activities with the departments of Mechanical and Civil Engineering. It has accepted undergraduate students into the Department of Geological Engineering in the 1994–1995 academic year, into the Department of Food, Electrical-Electronics and Textile Engineering in the 1995–1996 academic year, into the Department of Computer Engineering in the 2003–2004 academic year, into the Department of Industrial Engineering in the 2004–2005 academic year, into the Department of Environmental Engineering in the 2008–2009 academic year, and into the Department of Chemical Engineering in the 2015-2016 academic year and has continued to provide education and training services. The Faculty of Engineering also provides evening education in the departments of Mechanical, Civil, Electrical-Electronics, Food, Geology, and Environmental Engineering. Master's programs are available in all active departments, and PhD programs are also available in the departments of Computer, Mechanical, Civil, Geology, Food, Industrial, Environmental, and Electrical-Electronics Engineering.
