The undergraduate program in Computer Engineering is designed so that students
have a balanced background in computer hardware, software, and computer
applications, and that they can adapt themselves to the rapidly changing
technologies in their professional careers. Emphasis is on the engineering
aspects of the field such as the analysis and design of both hardware and
software systems.
The course requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
total a minimum of 145 credit hours of formal course work. The first five
semesters of the program are common to all students. Starting in the sixth
semester, students take elective courses in order to specialize in the subject
according to their interests. During their study students must complete an
industrial training of a minimum of 60 work days.
Educational goals and objectives
Pursue the practice of computer engineering in various industrial sectors,
not only at the national but also at the international level.
Pursue advanced degrees and engage in research activities in world-class
institutions.
Pursue a life-long career of personal and professional growth in the rapidly
changing computing world with ethical consciousness and global awareness.
Be able to assume innovative, executive, leadership, and entrepreneurial
roles in their careers.
Admission and special requirements
In Turkey, student placement to universities and departments is carried out
centrally, through exams administered by the ÖSYM. A two-phase standard
centralized exam, called YKS is given once a year. The first phase exam is
called TYT and the second phase exam is called AYT. During the last five years,
Boğaziçi University Computer Engineering Department has admitted students who
ranked in the top ~500.
