Mission Statement

Mission Statement

Providing students with a broad professional education in Computer Engineering and Information Sciences so that they have the knowledge to influence the direction of the field and industrial practice in the current information age, and the skills to continually enhance this knowledge with an inquisitive minded approach and a sense of ethics.

Furthermore, taking an active part in universal projects in all areas of computer engineering and becoming a strong R&D partner in all academic activities.

In order to accomplish this mission the department identified the following list of educational objectives for the undergraduate program:

  1. Produce successful practitioners of computer engineers who can apply computer engineering principles to address the technological challenges of the future in their careers.
  2. Produce graduates who can apply modern computer engineering techniques to create technologies to meet the needs of society in their careers.
  3. Produce graduates who can recognize the importance of the interaction between technological and societal decisions in their careers.
    4.

The mission of the Department of Computer Engineering is consistent with the mission of Istanbul Technical University: As a higher education and research institution dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied sciences, our mission is to educate the technological leaders and entrepreneurs of the future in a rich intellectual environment sensitive to both local and global issues.
