About

Pamukkale University Faculty of Technology was established by the decision of the Council of Ministers numbered 2009/15546. Initially launched with five departments in 2011, the Faculty began admitting students to the Departments of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (currently known as Mechanical Engineering) and Mechatronics Engineering in the 2012–2013 academic year. The following year, student admissions started for the Departments of Automotive Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering (currently known as Metallurgical and Materials Engineering), and Biomedical Engineering.

Departments and Programs

Our faculty consists of five departments:

Biomedical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering
Mechatronics Engineering
Automotive Engineering

In addition to undergraduate programs, our departments also offer graduate programs under the PAU Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. These include:

Master's Programs in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, and Automotive Engineering
Master's Program in Energy Management and Technologies
Doctoral Program in Energy Management and Technologies
Doctoral Program in Biomedical Engineering

Curriculum and Education Content

To graduate, our students must complete a total of 240 ECTS credits, successfully finish a 40-day internship divided over two summer terms, and complete workplace training lasting one semester. Our curriculum spans eight semesters and is designed to be equivalent to the programs in engineering faculties.

To prepare our students for professional life, Advisory Boards have been established, consisting of experts and managers from various industrial sectors. These boards have collaborated in the development and content planning of the curriculum. The course programs are reviewed and updated annually to ensure relevance and quality.

In addition, the Advisory Boards work with the faculty to provide students with industry experience. This collaboration allows students to familiarize themselves with their future industry, job roles, and workplace environments before graduation, enabling them to enter the workforce as experienced engineers.

Internships

By Pamukkale University Undergraduate Education and Training Regulations, our students are required to complete internships at workplaces approved by the Department Internship Committees. These internships aim to provide hands-on work experience and enhance practical skills. The regulations and procedures governing internships must be followed during this process.

Practical studies related to specific courses, as well as workshops, laboratory sessions, fieldwork, medical studies conducted during the semester, and the mandatory one-semester Workplace Training program in the Faculty of Technology, are not included in the internship duration.

Internships can be conducted during summer terms or semester breaks.

Workplace Training

Students enrolled in engineering programs at the Faculty of Technology complete 7 semesters of their 8-semester education on campus and one semester as mandatory Workplace Training in the industrial sector to enhance their practical skills. Workplace Training is carried out within the start and end dates specified in the Academic Calendar for the relevant semester.

Workplace Training aims to enable students to:

Gain firsthand knowledge of organizations and institutions in their field,
Understand hierarchical structures, responsibilities, relationships, and workplace discipline,
Reinforce the knowledge and skills acquired during their academic education,
Acquire new knowledge and skills,
Develop the ability to work harmoniously with other employees in a professional environment,
Learn about and utilize new technological products and opportunities in the industry.

Internships and Workplace Training can be completed at official or private sector organizations approved by the Department’s Workplace Training and Internship Committees. Students can choose to conduct these activities in their preferred city or district.

Student Exchange Programs

Students who meet the requirements can continue their education for one or two semesters at equivalent and partner universities. They can study abroad through the ERASMUS and MEVLANA programs or at domestic universities through the FARABI program, allowing them to pursue their studies outside of Pamukkale University.

Campus

The Faculty of Technology at Pamukkale University is located within the Pamukkale University Kınıklı Campus in the Pamukkale district, at the center of Denizli.

The Kınıklı Campus, where our faculty is situated, hosts various facilities, including student dormitories managed by the Credit and Dormitories Institution, a student cafeteria, a sports center, a hospital, a medical clinic, a library, as well as cafes and restaurants.
