History - Department of Computer Engineering

The Department of Computer Engineering admitted its first students in the 2012–2013 academic year. Since its founding, the department's mission has been to provide the educational infrastructure necessary to develop human resources capable of meeting both current and future needs in the field of computer science. This mission includes training computer engineers for leadership positions in both industry and academia. To this end, we aim to equip our students with analytical reasoning, engineering design skills, and the competencies required at every stage of a software development project, through a goal-oriented, contemporary, and dynamic educational system.

All members of the academic staff completed their graduate studies at some of the world's most renowned universities in computer science and related fields. Our research groups conduct research in areas such as algorithm design and analysis, computational biology and bioinformatics, sensor networks, cloud computing, cryptology, coding theory, and computer simulations. Faculty members lead numerous research projects funded by European Union programs or supported by scientific institutions such as TÜBİTAK. Research outputs are published in some of the most highly regarded international journals and conferences in their respective fields.
