The measurement and evaluation processes in the Computer Engineering Undergraduate Program are conducted in accordance with the principles established by the Council of Higher Education. Students' academic success is measured through various assessment tools, including midterm exams (midterms), quizzes, final exams, assignments, projects, and presentations, depending on the structure of the theoretical and applied courses. In applied courses, particularly programming, data structures, and system design, competencies in algorithmic thinking, software development, problem-solving, and project submission are evaluated. A letter grading system is used in all courses, and the weightings of the assessment components that constitute the final grade are specified by the instructor in the relevant course syllabus. Additionally, criteria such as adherence to academic ethics, on-time submission, technical proficiency, and originality are also considered in the grading process. Our department aims not only to provide students with theoretical knowledge but also to develop the ability to effectively and accurately apply this knowledge in the field of information technologies.

 The quality assurance of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program is carried out in accordance with the principles established by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). The educational processes of the program are structured based on current regulations, adopting a continuous improvement approach focused on quality enhancement.

• YÖK is responsible for the planning, regulation, management, and supervision of educational and other academic-administrative activities conducted at higher education institutions.
• Each year, YÖK publishes the “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports,” which present quantitative and qualitative assessments of higher education institutions and are shared with the public.
• Additionally, the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report,” which includes academic, administrative, and financial data regarding foundation universities, is also published annually by YÖK and shared with the public.

The quality assurance of the Computer Engineering program is implemented under the following key components:

1. Program Design and Approval:
1.1. The minimum standards and criteria required for launching undergraduate programs are determined by YÖK.
1.2. The curriculum of the program and the intended learning outcomes of each course are defined by the university senate in alignment with the core principles set by YÖK.
1.3. The National Core Curriculum for Computer Engineering is implemented by higher education institutions upon the approval of YÖK following its endorsement by the relevant Council of Deans.

2. Assessment and Evaluation:
Student learning outcomes are assessed through a variety of methods, including midterm exams, quizzes, assignments, projects, practical applications, presentations, and final exams. All assessment procedures are conducted in compliance with the examination and education regulations of the university, based on YÖK's core principles.

3. Certification:
Students enrolled in the Computer Engineering undergraduate program are awarded a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering upon successful completion of the required course credits and all academic obligations as determined by the university.

4. Internal and External Evaluation:
In accordance with the guidelines established by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK), universities submit their “Internal Evaluation Reports” at the beginning of each year via the YÖKAK Information System. YÖKAK also publishes an “Institutional Feedback Report” based on the external evaluations of higher education institutions. Furthermore, accreditation decisions granted by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK serve as indicators of quality assurance in educational programs.

The Computer Engineering undergraduate program is accredited by MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs). This accreditation confirms that the program meets the established quality standards and that the qualifications of its graduates are recognized nationally and internationally. As part of the MÜDEK process, quality assurance practices are continuously monitored, reviewed, and improved.

Accreditation period: 01.05.2025 - 30.09.2027
