Accreditation of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering Department 3 More Year Extended

Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering departments of our university was preestimated by MÜDEK (Engineering Curriculum Assessment and Accreditation Association) board of assessors in 2013 for the first time and at the end of the assessment, these two departments was accredited for two years considering the quality of education and training activities in these faculties. Immediately after the termination of the two-year period, MÜDEK assessment team reevaluated our two departments between the dates of 21-23 February 2016. After the detailed assessment, MÜDEK extended the accreditation for 3 years.

Our Rector Prof.Dr. Reha Metin Alkan says “I thank everyone who has contributed to this success of Engineering Faculty. The accreditation given by MÜDEK for 3 years now and 2 years in the past is a proud for us. The accreditation certificate adds value and prestige to both Hitit University and Faculty of Engineering. The names of the faculties which have this certificate are placed in the guidelines issued by ÖSYM(Student Selection and Placement Center) and our departments are seen as the accredited by MÜDEK there. Now only 23 Mechanical Engineering and 15 Chemical Engineering departments from 122 Engineering Faculties in Turkey have been accredited by MÜDEK. Accordingly, Hitit University is a university that includes few accredited Mechanical and Chemical Engineering departments in our country. Therefore, there are really good reasons for new students who will choose aforementioned departments in our university. This succes gained adds a big value and prestige to our departments of Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering. This will bring about a synergy at the university. Greater duties and responsibilities are waiting for our teaching staff now. This success gained at the 10th establishment anniversary of Hitit University is the result of hard work actualised by administrative, academic staff and students. With the certificate of EUR-ACE by MÜDEK which is known as quality assurance agency by YÖK(Higher Education Council), we have now proved that the quality of instruction meets certain standards.”

What is MÜDEK?       

MÜDEK (Engineering Curriculum Assessment and Accreditation Association) is an independant foundation which gets into the act in order to contribute to the enhancement of the quality of engineering education in Turkey by making accreditation, evaluation and information work for various engineering education programs in the country. MÜDEK was established as an independent platform with the name of Engineering Review Board by Engineering Deans Council (MDK) composed of deans of engineering schools in Turkey and TRNC for the first time in 2002 in order to organize a detailed program for assessing the engineering undergraduate programs of these faculties and it became an association in 2007. 

Except MÜDEK administrative staff, MÜDEK boards, committees, working groups and all persons involved in the accreditation assessment team are working on a voluntary basis without any charge. 

Thnaks to EUR-ACE gained by accreditation, engineering programs prove that they are in both European and international standards, they are known by European employers, they make easy to apply for master’s degree and PhD in higher education institutions and this label is also very important in terms of meeting the education necessities for being a certified engineer.
