1. General Information

Chemical engineering is one of the main branches of engineering and a necessary profession in almost all processes. The Department of Chemical Engineering of Eskişehir Osmangazi University was established in 1968. The aim of the department is to educate researching, investigating, lifelong learning chemical engineers with analytical thinking skills who take pride in their department and university and who consider human relations, efficiency of production processes and economic viability. To this end, the department provides highly qualified graduate and undergraduate education that meets the demands of contemporary and modern technologies.

There are three divisions in the department: Unit Operations and Thermodynamics; Process and Reactor Design; and Chemical Technologies. Courses consist of theory and laboratory courses in the department. In this context, there are courses in basic science, basic engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering courses in the four-year undergraduate program in the department. In addition, students take two social elective courses and three technical elective courses depending on their areas of interest. Laboratory courses are very important in the chemical engineering education. There are nine laboratory courses: Physics Lab., Chemistry Lab., Physical Chemistry Lab, Analytical Chemistry Lab., Instrumental Analysis Lab., and Chemical Engineering Labs. I, II, and III. Students perform laboratory experiments on the basic principles and significant applications of science, chemistry, and chemical engineering. Students also have the option of attaining a second-degree by completing a second major or a certificate minor, if they meet the required conditions in their chemical engineering education.

Graduates of the department hold positions such as general manager, director, manager, chief, specialist, R&D engineer, quality assurance officer, project engineer, plant engineer, etc. in the private, public and government sectors.

5. The Definition of Previous Education

Recognition of prior learning, vertical, horizontal degree programs and transitions at the university are made under the regulation 'Transition Between Associate Degree and Undergraduate Programs, Regulation based on Double Major, Minor, and Credit Transfer Between Institutions’, established by the institution of higher education. 

Students from non-formal education institutions in Turkey can apply for course exemptions and are exempt from approved courses. Exemption exams are organized at the beginning of each academic semester for the approval of some computer and foreign language courses. Students who take and pass the exam are exempt from the corresponding courses in the curriculum.

 

6. Conditions and Rules of Qualification

All courses in the student's program must be successfully completed. The student should not have FF, DZ or YZ grades to successfully complete the courses. In this program, the student must complete a minimum of 240 ECTS credits and a minimum GPA of 2.00 out of 4.00.

All students must complete a total of at least 45 working days of mandatory internships, including 15 working days of laboratory practice and 30 working days of plant practice during the 4 years of education.

 

7. Program Profile (Objective)
