About Programme
The automotive engineering program aims to train qualified manpower to design, develop, manufacture, maintain and repair motor vehicles, to organize workplaces and to carry out commercial activities. The engineering education given in the Automotive Engineering Department aims to educate the students in both directions, both theoretical and practical. In order to improve the engineering practice of the students, both the workshop and laboratory facilities available in the department are utilized as well as the opportunities of the Automotive Industry. The rapid change and complexity of motor vehicle technologies necessitates the recruitment of talented people who are better trained in this field. One of the most important objectives of the automotive engineering department is to train engineers who have high creativity needs of the sector. Students are accepted to automotive engineering department from general high schools and vocational and technical secondary education institutions providing education in related field. Students from vocational and technical secondary education institutions are subjected to a one-year orientation training. Duration of education and training is 8 semesters (4 years). Students who successfully complete the four-year education program are awarded a bachelor''s degree.

Assessment and Grading
Measurement and Evaluation
(1) For each course taken, students are given a letter success grade at the end of the semester/year.
(2) This grade is given by the instructor of the course.
(3) While evaluating the letter grade, a student?s success at classes, mid-terms/final examinations and attendance to classes are considered. The calculation of the letter grade is determined by the approval of the related academic unit and the Senate.
(4) The success grade of a student is calculated over 100 points. This grade is called raw success point.
(5) A student whose raw success point is under 25.00 is directly given an FF grade and the student fails the course. The success grade of a student whose raw success point is 25.00 and above is evaluated by using the methods determined by the board decisions of the Educational Commission of the University and the Senate; with the letter grades of which coefficients and explanations are mentioned below. After this evaluation, it is also possible that the raw success points 25.00 and above may become FF letter grades.
(6) Coefficients and letter success grades are evaluated as shown below:
a)
Coefficients Letter Success Grades
4.00 AA
3.50 BA
3.00 BB
2.50 CB
2.00 CC
1.50 DC
1.00 DD
0.50 FD
0.00 FF

b) The letter grades other than the ones in the clause ?a? are:
1) D: Did not Attend the Course
2) G: Did not Attend the Exam
3) E: Incomplete (The E grades which are not corrected until after 3 weeks from the finalization of letter success grades are converted to FF)
4) VZ: Withdrawn
(7) A student whose letter success grade is (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB), (CC), (DC) or (DD) is considered as succeeded the course. However, the CumGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) of the student must be at least 2,00 for graduation.
